8.2.2 Configurate the configuration registers
The chip selects the logical device and activates the desired logical devices through Extended
Function Index Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data Register (EFDR). EFIR is located at the
same address as EFER, and EFDR is located at address (EFIR+1).
First, write the Logical Device Number (i.e., 0x07) to the EFIR, and then write the number of the
desired logical device to the EFDR. If accessing the Chip(Global) Control Registers, this step is not
required.
Secondly, write the address of the desired configuration register within the logical device to the EFIR
and then write (or read) the desired configuration register through EFDR.
8.2.3 Exit the extended function mode
To exit the extended function mode, one write of 0xAA to EFER is required. Once the chip exits the
extended function mode, it is in the normal running mode, and is ready to enter the configuration
mode.
8.2.4 Software programming example
The following example is written in Intel 8086 assembly language. It assumes that the EFER is
located at 3F0h, so EFIR is located at 3F0h and EFDR is located at 3F1h. If HEFRAS (CR26 bit 6) is
set, 3F0h can be directly replaced by 370h and 3F1h replaced by 371h.
