Chapter 2
Functional Description

Chapter 2 is divided into the following sections:

Section 2.1, “PCI Addressing”

Section 2.2, “SCSI Functional Description”

Section 2.3, “External Memory Interface”

Section 2.4, “PCI Cache Mode”

Section 2.5, “Power Management”

2.1 PCI Addressing

There are three physical PCI-defined address spaces:

PCI

Configuration Space

I/O Space

Memory Space

2.1.1 Configuration Space

Configuration space is a contiguous 256 x 8-bit set of addresses
dedicated to each “slot” or “stub” on the bus. Decoding C_BE/[3:0]
determines if a PCI cycle is intended to access configuration register
space. The IDSEL bus signal is a “chip select” that allows access to the
configuration register space only. A configuration read/write cycle without
IDSEL is ignored. The eight lower order addresses are used to select a
specific 8-bit register. AD[10:8] are decoded as well, but they must be
zero or the LSI53C825A does not respond. According to the PCI
specification, AD[10:8] are to be used for multifunction devices. The host
processor uses the PCI configuration space to initialize the LSI53C825A.
