2.1 PCI Addressing
There are three physical PCI-defined address spaces:
•
PCI
•
•
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.
