5. GENERAL DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND STATUS/INTERRUPT
5.1 Master Reset and ID Register Description
The master reset and ID (MRID) register can be used to globally reset the device. When the RST bit is
set to 1, all of the internal registers (except the PCI configuration registers) are placed into their default
state, which is 0000h. The host must set the RST bit back to 0 before the device can be programmed for
normal operation. The RST bit does not force the PCI outputs to three-state as does the hardware reset
which is invoked by the PRST pin. A reset invoked by the PRST pin forces the RST bit to 0 as well as
the rest of the internal configuration registers. See Section
2
for more details about device initialization.
The upper byte of the MRID register is read-only and it can be read by the host to determine the chip
revision. Contact the factory for specifics on the meaning of the value read from the ID0 to ID7 bits.
