LPC Bus

On the COM 830 the PCI Bus acts as the subtractive decoding agent. All I/O cycles that are not positively
decoded are forwarded to the PCI Bus not the LPC Bus. Only specified I/O ranges are forwarded to the LPC
Bus. In the BIOS the following I/O address ranges are sent to the LPC Bus:

280 – 2FF
3F8 – 3FF
3E8 – 3EF
A00 - A0F

Parts of these ranges are not available if a Super I/O is used on the carrier board. If a Super I/O is not
implemented on the carrier board then these ranges are available for customer use. If you require additional
LPC Bus resources other than those mentioned above, or more information about this subject, contact
Ampro technical support for assistance.

NOTE

The BIOS assigns PCI and PCI Express I/O resources from FFF0h downwards. Non
PnP/PCI/PCI Express compliant devices must not consume I/O resources in that
area.
