not affected by S_RESET or

STOP.

If SSIZE32 is reset, then bits

IADR[31:24] of CSR2 will be

used to generate values for the

upper 8 bits of the 32-bit address

bus during master accesses initi-

ated by the Am79C978A control-

ler. This action is required, since

the 16-bit software structures

specified by the SSIZE32 = 0 set-

ting will yield only 24 bits of ad-

dress for Am79C978A controller

bus master accesses.

If SSIZE32 is set, then the soft-

ware structures that are common

to the Am79C978A controller and

the host system will supply a full

32 bits for each address pointer

that is needed by the Am79C978A

controller for performing master

accesses.

The value of the SSIZE32 bit has

no effect on the drive of the upper

8 address bits. The upper 8 ad-

dress pins are always driven, re-

gardless of the state of the

SSIZE32 bit.

Note that the setting of the

SSIZE32 bit has no effect on the

defined width for I/O resources.

I/O resource width is determined

by the state of the DWIO bit

(BCR18, bit 7).

SWSTYLE

Software Style register. The val-

ue in this register determines the

style of register and memory re-

sources that shall be used by the

Am79C978A controller. The Soft-

ware Style selection will affect the

interpretation of a few bits within

the CSR space, the order of the

descriptor entries and the width of

the descriptors and initialization

block entries.

All Am79C978A CSR bits and all

descriptor, buffer, and initialization

block entries not cited in Table 41

are unaffected by the Software

Style selection and are, therefore,

always fully functional as specified

in the CSR and BCR sections.

Read/Write accessible only when

either the STOP or the SPND bit

is set. The SWSTYLE register will

contain the value 00h following

H_RESET and will be unaffected

by S_RESET or STOP.
