LPC/FWH Interface Configuration

These registers provide the base address for distributed DMA slave channel registers, one for each
DMA controller. Bits 5:0 are reserved to provide access to a 64 byte I/O space (16 bytes per
channel). The channels are accessed using offset from base address as follows (Note that Channel 4
is reserved and is not accessible).

Lock Upper RAM Bytes: 0 = Upper RAM data bytes 38h-3Fh in the extended bank are
readable and write-able (default). 1 = Upper RAM data bytes 38h-3Fh in the extended bank
are neither readable nor write-able. This is used to lock bytes 38h-3Fh in the upper 128-byte
bank of RAM. Write cycles will have no effect and read cycles will not return an expected
value.

Warning: This is a write-once register that can only be reset by a hardware reset. No
software means is possible to reset this bit.

3

Lock Lower RAM Bytes: 0 = Lower RAM data bytes 38h-3Fh in the standard bank are
readable and writeable (default). 1 = Lower RAM data bytes 38h-3Fh in the standard bank are
neither readable nor writeable. This is used to lock bytes 38h-3Fh in the lower 128-byte bank
of RAM. Write cycles will have no effect and read cycles will not return an expected value.

Warning: This is a write-once register that can only be reset by a hardware reset. No
software means is possible to reset this bit.

2

Upper RAM Enable: 0 = Accesses to RTC Upper 128 byte extended bank at I/O address 72-
73h is disabled. 1 = Accesses to 72-73h are forwarded to RTC Upper 128 byte extended
bank.
