© 2000 National Semiconductor® Corporation www.national.com April 2000 Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Low Power Integrated X86 Solutions Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Low Power Integrated x86 Solutions General Description The National Semiconductor® Geode™ GXLV processor series is a new line of integrated processors specifically designed to power information appliances for entertain- ment, education, and business. Serving the needs of con- sumers and business professionals alike, it is the perfect solution for information appliance applications such as thin clients, interactive set top boxes, and personal inter- net access devices. The GXLV processor series is divided into three main cat- egories as defined by the core operating voltage. Avail- able with core voltages of 2.2V, 2.5V , and 2.9V, it offers extremely low typical power consumption (1.0W to 2.5W) leading to longer battery life and enabling small form-fac- tor, fanless designs. Each core voltage is offered in fre- quencies that are enabled by specific system clock and multiplier settings. This allows the user to select the device(s) that best fit their power and performance requirements. This flexibility makes the GXLV processor series ideally suited for applications where power con- sumption and performance (speed) are equally important. Typical power consumption is defined as an average, measured running Microsoft’s Windows at 80% Active Idle (Suspend-on-Halt) with a display resolution of 800x600x8 bpp at 75 Hz.

www.national.com 2 Revision 1.1 Geode™ GXLV Processor Series While the x86 core provides maximum compatibility with the vast amount of internet content available, the intelli- gent integration of several other functions, such as mem- ory controller and graphics, offer a true system-level multimedia solution. The GXLV processor core is a proven x86 design that offers competitive performance. It contains integer and floating point execution units based on sixth-generation technology. The integer core contains a single, five-stage execution pipeline and offers advanced features such as operand forwarding, branch target buffers, and extensive write buffering. Accesses to the 16 KB write-back L1 cache are dynamically reordered to eliminate pipeline stalls when fetching operands. In addition to the advanced CPU features, the GXLV pro- cessor integrates a host of functions typically imple- mented with external components. A full function graphics accelerator contains a Video Graphics Array (VGA) con- troller, bitBLT engine, and a Raster Operations (ROP) unit for complete Graphical User Interface (GUI) acceleration under most operating systems. A display controller con- tains additional video buffering to enable >30 fps MPEG1 p l a y b a c ka n dv i d e oo v e r l a yw h e nu s e dw i t haN a t i o n a l Semiconductor I/O Companion chip such as the CS5530. Graphics and system memory accesses are supported by a tightly coupled SDRAM controller which eliminates the need for an external L2 cache. A PCI host controller sup- ports up to three bus masters for additional connectivity and multimedia capabilities. The GXLV processor also incorporates Virtual System Architecture ® (VSA™) technology. VSA technology enables the XpressGRAPHICS and XpressAUDIO sub- systems. Software handlers are available that provide full compatibility for industry standard VGA and 16-bit audio functions that are transparent at the operating system level. The GXLV processor is designed to be used with the CS5530 I/O Companion, also supplied by National Semi- conductor. Together they provide a scalable, flexible, low- power, system-level solution well suited for a wide array of information appliances ranging from hand-held personal information access devices to digital set top boxes and thin clients.

1.0 Architecture Overview
The Geode GXLV processor series represents the sixth generation of x86-compatible 32-bit processors with sixth- generation features. The decoupled load/store unit allows reordering of load/store traffic to achieve higher perfor- mance. Other features include single-cycle execution, sin- gle-cycle instruction decode, 16 KB write-back cache, and clock rates up to 266 MHz. These features are made pos- sible by the use of advanced-process technologies and pipelining. The GXLV processor has low power consumption at all clock frequencies. Where additional power savings are required, designers can make use of Suspend Mode, Stop Clock capability, and System Management Mode (SMM). The GXLV processor is divided into major functional blocks (as shown in Figure 1-1): Integer Unit Floating Point Unit (FPU) Write-Back Cache Unit Memory Management Unit (MMU) Internal Bus Interface Unit Integrated Functions Instructions are executed in the integer unit and in the floating point unit. The cache unit stores the most recently used data and instructions and provides fast access to this information for the integer and floating point units. Figure 1-1.

1.1 INTEGER UNIT
The integer unit consists of: Instruction Buffer Instruction Fetch Instruction Decoder and Execution The pipelined integer unit fetches, decodes, and executes x86 instructions through the use of a five-stage integer pipeline. The instruction fetch pipeline stage generates, from the on-chip cache, a continuous high-speed instruction stream for use by the processor. Up to 128 bits of code a r er e a dd u r i n gas i n g l ec l o c kc y c l e . Branch prediction logic within the prefetch unit generates a predicted target address for unconditional or conditional branch instructions. When a branch instruction is detected, the instruction fetch stage starts loading instruc- tions at the predicted address within a single clock cycle. Up to 48 bytes of code are queued prior to the instruction decode stage. The instruction decode stage evaluates the code stream provided by the instruction fetch stage and determines the number of bytes in each instruction and the instruction type. Instructions are processed and decoded at a maxi- mum rate of one instruction per clock. The address calculation function is pipelined and contains two stages, AC1 and AC2. If the instruction refers to a memory operand, AC1 calculates a linear memory address for the instruction. The AC2 stage performs any required memory manage- ment functions, cache accesses, and register file accesses. If a floating point instruction is detected by AC2, the instruction is sent to the floating point unit for processing. The execution stage, under control of microcode, exe- cutes instructions using the operands provided by the address calculation stage. Write-back,the last stage of the integer unit, updates the register file within the integer unit or writes to the load/store unit within the memory management unit.
1.2 FLOATING POINT UNIT
The floating point unit (FPU) interfaces to the integer unit and the cache unit through a 64-bit bus. The FPU is x87- instruction-set compatible and adheres to the IEEE-754 standard. Because almost all applications that contain FPU instructions also contain integer instructions, the GXLV processor’s FPU achieves high performance by completing integer and FPU operations in parallel. FPU instructions are dispatched to the pipeline within the integer unit. The address calculation stage of the pipeline checks for memory management exceptions and accesses memory operands for use by the FPU. Once the instructions and operands have been provided to the FPU, the FPU completes instruction execution independently of the integer unit.
1.3 WRITE-BACK CACHE UNIT
The 16 KB write-back unified (data/instruction) cache is configured as four-way set associative. The cache stores up to 16 KB of code and data in 1024 cache lines. T h eG X L Vp r o c e s s o rp r o v i d e st h ea b i l i t yt oa l l o c a t eap o r - tion of the L1 cache as a scratchpad, which is used to accelerate the Virtual Systems Architecture technology algorithms as well as for some graphics operations.
1.4 MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT
The memory management unit (MMU) translates the lin- ear address supplied by the integer unit into a physical address to be used by the cache unit and the internal bus interface unit. Memory management procedures are x86- compatible, adhering to standard paging mechanisms. The MMU also contains a load/store unit that is responsi- ble for scheduling cache and external memory accesses. The load/store unit incorporates two performance- enhancing features: Load-store reorderingthat gives memory reads required by the integer unit a priority over writes to external memory. Memory-read bypassingthat eliminates unnecessary memory reads by using valid data from the execution unit.
1.5 INTERNAL BUS INTERFACE UNIT
The internal bus interface unit provides a bridge from the GXLV processor to the integrated system functions (i.e., memory subsystem, display controller, graphics pipeline) and the PCI bus interface. When external memory access is required, the physical address is calculated by the memory management unit and then passed to the internal bus interface unit, which translates the cycle to an X-Bus cycle (the X-Bus is a pro- prietary internal bus which provides a common interface for all of the integrated functions). The X-Bus memory cycle is arbitrated between other pending X-Bus memory requests to the SDRAM controller before completing. In addition, the internal bus interface unit provides config- uration control for up to 20 different regions within system memory with separate controls for read access, write access, cacheability, and PCI access.

1.6 INTEGRATED FUNCTIONS
The GXLV processor integrates the following functions tra- ditionally implemented using external devices: High-performance 2D graphics accelerator Separate CRT and TFT control from the display controller SDRAM memory controller PCI bridge The processor has also been enhanced to support VSA technology implementation. The GXLV processor implements a Unified Memory Archi- tecture (UMA). By using DCT (Display Compression Tech- nology) architecture, the performance degradation inherent in traditional UMA systems is eliminated.
1.6.1 Graphics Accelerator
The graphics accelerator is a full-featured GUI accelera- tor. The graphics pipeline implements a bitBLT engine for frame buffer bitBLTs and rectangular fills. Additional instructions in the integer unit may be processed, as the bitBLT engine assists the CPU in the bitBLT operations that take place between system memory and the frame buffer. This combination of hardware and software is used by the display driver to provide very fast bidirectional transfers between system memory and the frame buffer. The bitBLT engine also draws randomly oriented vectors, and scanlines for polygon fill. All of the pipeline operations described in the following list can be applied to any bitBLT operation. Pattern Memory:Render with 8x8 dither, 8x8 mono- chrome, or 8x1 color pattern. Color Expansion:Expand monochrome bitmaps to full depth 8- or 16-bit colors. Transparency:Suppresses drawing of background pixels for transparent text. Raster Operations:Boolean operation combines source, destination, and pattern bitmaps.
1.6.2 Display Controller
The display port is a direct interface to the Geode I/O companion (i.e., CS5530, part number 25420-03) which drives a TFT flat panel display, LCD panel, or a CRT dis- play. The display controller (video generator) retrieves image data from the frame buffer, performs a color-look-up if required, inserts the cursor overlay into the pixel stream, generates display timing, and formats the pixel data for output to a variety of display devices. The display control- ler contains DCT architecture that allows the GXLV pro- cessor to refresh the display from a compressed copy of the frame buffer. DCT architecture typically decreases the screen refresh bandwidth requirement by a factor of 15 to 20, minimizing bandwidth contention.
1.6.3 XpressRAM Memory Subsystem
The memory controller drives a 64-bit SDRAM port directly. The SDRAM memory array contains both the main system memory and the graphics frame buffer. Up to four module banks of SDRAM are supported. Each mod- ule bank can have two or four component banks depend- ing on the memory size and organization. The maximum configuration is four module banks with four component banks, each providing a total of 16 open banks. The maxi- mum memory size is 256 MB. The memory controller handles multiple requests for memory data from the GXLV processor, the graphics accelerator and the display controller. The memory con- troller contains extensive buffering logic that helps mini- mize contention for memory bandwidth between graphics and CPU requests. The memory controller cooperates with the internal bus controller to determine the cacheabil- ity of all memory references.
1.6.4 PCI Controller
The GXLV processor incorporates a full-function PCI interface module that includes the PCI arbiter. All accesses to external I/O devices are sent over the PCI bus, although most memory accesses are serviced by the SDRAM controller. The internal bus interface unit contains address mapping logic that determines if memory accesses are targeted for the SDRAM or for the PCI bus.

1.7 GEODE GXLV/CS5530 SYSTEM DESIGNS
A GXLV processor and Geode CS5530 I/O companion based design provides high performance using 32-bit x86 processing. The two chips integrate video, audio and memory interface functions normally performed by exter- nal hardware. The CS5530 enables the full features of the GXLV processor with MMX support. These features include full VGA and VESA video, 16-bit stereo sound, IDE interface, ISA interface, SMM power management, and IBM’s AT compatibility logic. In addition, the CS5530 provides an Ultra DMA/33 interface, MPEG1 assist, and AC97 Version 2.0 compliant audio. Figure 1-2 shows a basic block system diagram which also includes the Geode CS9210 graphics companion for designs that need to interface to a Dual Scan Super Twisted Pneumatic (DSTN) panel (instead of a TFT panel). Figure 1-3 shows an example of a CS9210 interface in a typical GXLV/CS5530 based system design. The CS9210 converts the digital RGB output of the CS5530 to the digi- tal output suitable for driving a color DSTN flat panel LCD. It can drive all standard color DSTN flat panels up to a 1024x768 resolution. Figures 1-4 and 1-5 show the signal connections between the GXLV processor and the CS5530. For connections to the CS9210, refer to the CS9210 data book. Figure 1-2.

2.2 SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.2.1 System Interface Signals
Pin No. SPGA Pin No. Type Description SYSCLK P26 V34 I System Clock PCI clock is connected to SYSCLK. The internal clock of the GXLV processor is generated by a proprietary patented fre- quency synthesis circuit which multiplies the SYSCLK input up to ten times. The SYSCLK to core clock multiplier is configured using the CLKMODE[2:0] inputs. The SYSCLK input is a fixed frequency which can only be stopped or varied when the GXLV processor is in full 3V Sus- pend. (See Section 5.1.4 “3 Volt Suspend” on page 177 for details regarding this mode.) CLKMODE[2:0] M1, L1, G3, R2, I Clock Mode These signals are used to set the core clock multiplier. The PCI clock "SYSCLK" is multiplied by the value set by CLKMODE[2:0] to generate the GXLV processor’s core clock. CLKMODE[2:0]: 000 = SYSCLK multiplied by 4 (T est mode only) 001 = SYSCLK multiplied by 10 010 = SYSCLK multiplied by 9 011 = SYSCLK multiplied by 5 100 = SYSCLK multiplied by 4 101 = SYSCLK multiplied by 6 110 = SYSCLK multiplied by 7 111 = SYSCLK multiplied by 8 RESET J3 M2 I Reset RESET aborts all operations in progress and places the GXLV processor into a reset state. RESET forces the CPU and peripheral functions to begin executing at a known state. All data in the on-chip cache is invalidated upon RESET. RESET is an asynchronous input but must meet specified setup and hold times to guarantee recognition at a particular clock edge. This input is typically generated during the Power-On- Reset sequence. INTR B18 D24 I (Maskable) Interrupt Request INTR is a level-sensitive input that causes the GXLV processor to suspend execution of the current instruction stream and begin execution of an interrupt service routine. The INTR input can be masked through the EFlags Register IF bit. (See T able 3-4 on page 46 for bit definitions.) IRQ13 C22 C31 O Interrupt Request Level 13 IRQ13 is asserted if an on-chip floating point error occurs. When a floating point error occurs, the GXLV processor asserts the IRQ13 pin. The floating point interrupt handler then performs an OUT instruction to I/O address F0h or F1h. The GXLV proces- sor accepts either of these cycles and clears the IRQ13 pin. Refer to Section 3.4.1 “I/O Address Space” on page 63 for fur- ther information on IN/OUT instructions.
www.national.com 32 Revision 1.1 Signal Definitions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series SMI# C19 B28 I System Management Interrupt SMI# is a level-sensitive interrupt. SMI# puts the GXLV proces- sor into System Management Mode (SMM). SUSP# H2 (PU) (PU) I Suspend Request This signal is used to request that the GXLV processor enter Suspend mode. After recognition of an active SUSP# input, the processor completes execution of the current instruction, any pending decoded instructions and associated bus cycles. SUSP# is enabled by setting the SUSP bit in CCR2, and is ignored following RESET. (See Table 3-11 on page 52 for CCR2 bit definitions.) Since the GXLV processor includes system logic functions as well as the CPU core, there are special modes designed to sup- port the different power management states associated with APM, ACPI, and portable designs. The part can be configured to stop only the CPU core clocks, or all clocks. When all clocks are stopped, the external clock can also be stopped. (See Section 5.0 “Power Management” on page 176 for more details regarding power management states.) This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. SUSPA# E2 H4 O Suspend Acknowledge Suspend Acknowledge indicates that the GXLV processor has entered low-power Suspend mode as a result of SUSP# asser- tion or execution of a HALT instruction. SUSPA# floats following RESET and is enabled by setting the SUSP bit in CCR2. (See Table 3-11 on page 52 for CCR2 bit definitions.) The SYSCLK input may be stopped after SUSPA# has been asserted to further reduce power consumption if the system is configured for 3V Suspend mode. (see Section 5.1.4 “3 Volt Sus- pend” on page 177 for details regarding this mode). SERIALP L3 Q1 O Serial Packet Serial Packet is the single wire serial-transmission signal to the CS5530 chip. The clock used for this interface is SYSCLK. This interface carries packets of miscellaneous information to the chipset to be used by the VSA technology software handlers.

2.2.2 PCI Interface Signals
Pin No. SPGA Pin No Type Description FRAME# A8 (PU) C13 (PU) s/t/s Frame FRAME# is driven by the current master to indicate the begin- ning and duration of an access. FRAME# is asserted to indicate a bus transaction is beginning. While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue. When FRAME# is deasserted, the transac- tion is in the final data phase. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. IRDY# C9 (PU) D14 (PU) s/t/s Initiator Ready I R D Y #i sa s s e r t e dt oi n d i c a t et h a tt h eb u sm a s t e ri sa b l et oc o m - plete the current data phase of the transaction. IRDY# is used in c o n j u n c t i o nw i t hT R D Y # .Ad a t ap h a s ei sc o m p l e t e do na n y SYSCLK in which both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates valid data is present on AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates the master is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. TRDY# B9 (PU) B14 (PU) s/t/s Target Ready TRDY# is asserted to indicate that the target agent is able to complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is complete on any SYSCLK in which both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31:0]. During a write, it indicates the target is pre- pared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both IRDY# a n dT R D Y #a r ea s s e r t e dt o g e t h e r . This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. STOP# C11 (PU) A15 (PU) s/t/s Target Stop STOP# is asserted to indicate that the current target is request- ing the master to stop the current transaction. This signal is used with DEVSEL# to indicate retry, disconnect or target abort. If STOP# is sampled active while a master, FRAME# will be deas- serted and the cycle will be stopped within three SYSCLKs. STOP# can be asserted in the following cases: A PCI master tries to access memory that has been locked by another master. This condition is detected if FRAME# and LOCK# are asserted during an address phase. The PCI write buffers are full or a previously buffered cycle has not completed. Read cycles that cross cache line boundaries. This is condi- tional based upon the programming of bit 1 in the PCI Control Function 2 Register. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor.
www.national.com 34 Revision 1.1 Signal Definitions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series AD[31:0] Refer to Table 2-3 Refer to Ta bl e 2 -5 I/O Multiplexed Address and Data Addresses and data are multiplexed together on the same pins. A bus transaction consists of an address phase in the cycle in which FRAME# is asserted followed by one or more data phases. During the address phase, AD[31:0] contain a physical 32-bit address. During data phases, AD[7:0] contain the least significant byte (LSB) and AD[31:24] contain the most significant byte (MSB). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is asserted and read data is stable and valid when TRDY# is asserted. Data is transferred during the SYSCLK when both IRDY# and TRDY# are asser ted. C/BE[3:0]# D5, B8, C13, A15 B6, B12, B18, E21 I/O Multiplexed Command and Byte Enables C/BE# are the bus commands and byte enables. They are multi- plexed together on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a transaction when FRAME# is active, C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase C/BE[3:0]# are used as byte enables. The byte enables are valid for the entire data phase and determine which byte lanes carry meaningful data. C/BE0# applies to byte 0 (LSB) and C/BE3# applies to byte 3 (MSB). The command encoding and types are listed below. 0000 = Interrupt Acknowledge 0001 = Special Cycle 0010 = I/O Read 0011 = I/O Write 0100 = Reserved 0101 = Reserved 0110 = Memory Read 0111 = Memory Write 1000 = Reserved 1001 = Reserved 1010 = Configuration Read 1011 = Configuration Write 1100 = Memory Read Multiple 1101 = Dual Address Cycle (Reserved) 1110 = Memory Read Line 1111 = Memory Write and Invalidate PAR B12 C17 I/O Parity P A Ri su s e dw i t hA D [ 3 1 : 0 ]a n dC / B E [ 3 : 0 ] #t og e n e r a t ee v e np a r - ity. Parity generation is required by all PCI agents: the master drives PAR for address and write-data phases, the target drives PAR for read-data phases. For address phases, PAR is stable and valid one SYSCLK after the address phase. For data phases, PAR is stable and valid one SYSCLK after either IRDY# is asserted on a write transaction or after TRDY# is asserted on a read transaction. Once PAR is valid, it remains valid until one SYSCLK after the completion of the data phase. (Also see PERR# description on page 35.)

Revision 1.1 35 www.national.com Signal Definitions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series LOCK# B11 (PU) B16 (PU) s/t/s Lock Operation LOCK# indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to complete. When LOCK# is asserted, nonexclu- sive transactions may proceed to an address that is not currently locked (at least 16 bytes must be locked). A grant to start a trans- action on PCI does not guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of LOCK# is obtained under its own protocol in conjunction with GNT#. It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single master retains ownership of LOCK#. The arbiter can implement a complete system lock. In this mode, if LOCK# is active, no other master can gain access to the system until the LOCK# is deasserted. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. DEVSEL# A9 (PU) E15 (PU) s/t/s Device Select DEVSEL# indicates that the driving device has decoded its address as the target of the current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has been selected. DEVSEL# will also be driven by any agent that has the ability to accept cycles on a subtractive decode basis. As a mas- ter, if no DEVSEL# is detected within and up to the subtractive decode clock, a master abort cycle will result except for special c y c l e sw h i c hd on o te x p e c taD E V S E L #r e t u r n e d . This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. PERR# A11 (PU) D16 (PU) s/t/s Parity Error PERR# is used for the reporting of data parity errors during all PCI transactions except a Special Cycle. The PERR# line is driven two SYSCLKs after the data in which the error was detected, which is one SYSCLK after the PAR that was attached to the data. The minimum duration of PERR# is one SYSCLK for each data phase in which a data parity error is detected. PERR# must be driven high for one SYSCLK before going to TRI-ST ATE. A target asserts PERR# on write cycles if it has claimed the cycle with DEVSEL#. The master asserts PERR# on read cycles. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. SERR# C12 (PU) A17 (PU) OD System Error SERR# may be asserted by any agent for reporting errors other than PCI parity. The intent is to have the PCI central agent assert NMI to the processor. When the Parity Enable bit is set in the Memory Controller Configuration register, SERR# will be asserted upon detecting a parity error on read operations from DRAM. REQ[2:0]# D3, H3, (PU) E3, K2, (PU) I Request Lines REQ# indicates to the arbiter that an agent desires use of the bus. Each master has its own REQ# line. REQ# priorities are based on the arbitration scheme chosen. This pin is internally connected to a weak (>20-kohm) pull-up resistor. Pin No. SPGA Pin No Type Description
www.national.com 36 Revision 1.1 Signal Definitions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series GNT[2:0]# E1, F2, H2, K4, O Grant Lines GNT# indicates to the requesting master that it has been granted access to the bus. Each master has its own GNT# line. GNT# can be pulled away at any time a higher REQ# is received or if the master does not begin a cycle within a minimum period of time (16 SYSCLKs).

3.0 Processor Programming
This section describes the internal operations of the Geode GXLV processor from a programmer’s point of view. It includes a description of the traditional “core” pro- cessing and FPU operations. The integrated function reg- isters are described at the end of this chapter. The primary register sets within the processor core include: Application Register Set System Register Set Model Specific Register Set The initialization of the major registers within the core are s h o w ni nT a b l e3 - 1 .

3.1 CORE PROCESSOR INITIALIZATION
The GXLV processor is initialized when the RESET signal is asserted. The processor is placed in real mode and the registers listed in Table 3-1 are set to their initialized val- ues. RESET invalidates and disables the CPU cache, and turns off paging. When RESET is asserted, the CPU ter- minates all local bus activity and all internal execution. While RESET is asserted the internal pipeline is flushed and no instruction execution or bus activity occurs. Approximately 150 to 250 external clock cycles after RESET is deasserted, the processor begins executing instructions at the top of physical memory (address loca- tion FFFFFFF0h). The actual number of clock cycles depends on the clock scaling in use. Also, before execu- tion begins, an additional 2 20 clock cycles are needed when self-test is requested. Typically, an intersegment jump is placed at FFFFFFF0h. This instruction will force the processor to begin execution in the lowest 1 MB of address space. Table 3-1 lists the core registers and illustrates how they are initialized. Table 3-1.

www.national.com 42 Revision 1.1 Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series3.2 INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW The GXLV processor instruction set can be divided into nine types of operations: Arithmetic Bit Manipulation Shift/Rotate String Manipulation Control Transfer D a t a T r a n s f e r Floating Point High-Level Language Support Operating System Support The GXLV processor instructions operate on as few as zero operands and as many as three operands. A NOP (no operation) instruction is an example of a zero-operand instruction. Two-operand instructions allow the specifica- tion of an explicit source and destination pair as part of the instruction. These two-operand instructions can be divided into ten groups according to operand types: Register to Register Register to Memory Memory to Register Memory to Memory R e g i s t e r t o I / O I/O to Register Memory to I/O I/O to Memory Immediate Data to Register Immediate Data to Memory A no p e r a n dc a nb eh e l di nt h ei n s t r u c t i o ni t s e l f( a si nt h e case of an immediate operand), in one of the processor’s registers or I/O ports, or in memory. An immediate oper- and is fetched as part of the opcode for the instruction. Operand lengths of 8, 16, 32 or 48 bits are supported as well as 64 or 80 bits associated with floating-point instruc- tions. Operand lengths of 8 or 32 bits are generally used when executing code written for 386- or 486-class (32-bit code) processors. Operand lengths of 8 or 16 bits are generally used when executing existing 8086 or 80286 code (16-bit code). The default length of an operand can be overridden by placing one or more instruction prefixes in front of the opcode. For example, the use of prefixes allows a 32-bit operand to be used with 16-bit code or a 16-bit operand to be used with 32-bit code. Section 8.3 “Processor Core Instruction Set” on page 222 contains the clock count table that lists each instruction in t h eC P Ui n s t r u c t i o ns e t .I n c l u d e di nt h et a b l ea r et h e associated opcodes, execution clock counts, and effects on the EFLAGS register.
3.2.1 Lock Prefix
The LOCK prefix may be placed before certain instruc- tions that read, modify, then write back to memory. The PCI will not be granted access in the middle of locked instructions. The LOCK prefix can be used with the follow- ing instructions only when the result is a write operation to memory. Bit Test Instructions (BTS, BTR, BTC) Exchange Instructions (XADD, XCHG, CMPXCHG) One-Operand Arithmetic and Logical Instructions (DEC, INC, NEG, NOT) Two-Operand Arithmetic and Logical Instructions (ADC, ADD, AND, OR, SBB, SUB, XOR). An invalid opcode exception is generated if the LOCK pre- fix is used with any other instruction or with one of the instructions above when no write operation to memory occurs (for example, when the destination is a register).

3.3 REGISTER SETS
The accessible registers in the processor are grouped into three sets: 1) The Application Register Setcontains the registers frequently used by application programmers. Table 3- 2 shows the General Purpose, Segment, the Instruc- tion Pointer and the EFLAGS Registers. 2) The System Register Setcontains the registers typi- cally reserved for operating systems programmers: Control, System Address, Debug, Configuration, and Test Registers. 3) The Model Specific Register (MSR) Setis used to monitor the performance of the processor or a specific component within the processor. The Model Specific Register set has one 64-bit register called the Time Stamp Counter. Each of these register sets are discussed in detail in the subsections that follow. Additional registers to support integrated GXLV processor subsystems are described in Section 4.1 “Integrated Functions Programming Interface” on page 97.
3.3.1 Application Register Set
The Application Register Set consists of the registers most often used by the applications programmer. These regis- ters are generally accessible, although some bits in the EFLAGS register are protected. The General Purpose Registercontents are frequently modified by instructions and typically contain arithmetic and logical instruction operands. In real mode,Segment Registers contain the base address for each segment. In protected mode, the seg- ment registers contain segment selectors. The segment selectors provide indexing for tables (located in memory) that contain the base address for each segment, as well as other memory addressing information. The Instruction Pointer Registerpoints to the next instruction that the processor will execute. This register is automatically incremented by the processor as execution progresses. The EFLAGS Register contains control bits used to reflect the status of previously executed instructions. This register also contains control bits that affect the operation of some instructions.
3.3.1.1 General Purpose Registers
The General Purpose Registers are divided into four data registers, two pointer registers, and two index registers as shown in Table 3-2. The Data Registersare used by the applications pro- grammer to manipulate data structures and to hold the results of logical and arithmetic operations. Different por- tions of general data registers can be addressed by using different names. An “E” prefix identifies the complete 32-bit register. An “X” suffix without the “E” prefix identifies the lower 16 bits of the register. The lower two bytes of a data register are addressed with an “H” suffix (identifies the upper byte) or an “L” suffix (iden- tifies the lower byte). These _L and _H portions of the data registers act as independent registers. For example, if the AH register is written to by an instruction, the AL reg- ister bits remain unchanged. The Pointer and Index Registersare listed below. SI or ESI Source Index DI or EDI Destination Index SP or ESP Stack Pointer BP or EBP Base Pointer These registers can be addressed as 16- or 32-bit registers, with the “E” prefix indicating 32 bits. The Pointer and Index Registers can be used as general purpose registers; how- ever, some instructions use a fixed assignment of these registers. For example, repeated string operations always use ESI as the source pointer, EDI as the destination pointer, and ECX as a counter. The instructions that use fixed registers include multiply and divide, I/O access, string operations, stack operations, loop, variable shift and rotate, and translate instructions. The GXLV processor implements a stack using the ESP Register. This stack is accessed during the PUSH and POP instructions, procedure calls, procedure returns, interrupts, exceptions, and interrupt/exception returns. The GXLV processor automatically adjusts the value of the ESP during operations that result from these instruc- tions. The EBP Register may be used to refer to data passed on the stack during procedure calls. Local data may also be placed on the stack and accessed with BP . This register provides a mechanism to access stack data in high-level languages.

3.3.1.2 Segment Registers
The 16-bit segment registers, part of the main memory addressing mechanism, are described in Section 3.5 “Off- set, Segment, and Paging Mechanisms” on page 64. The six segment registers are: CS - Code Segment DS - Data Segment SS - Stack Segment ES - Extra Segment FS - Additional Data Segment GS - Additional Data Segment The segment registers are used to select segments in main memory. A segment acts as private memory for dif- ferent elements of a program such as code space, data space and stack space. There are two segment mechanisms, one for real and vir- tual 8086 operating modes and one for protected mode. Initialization and transition to protected mode is described in Section 3.9.4 “Initialization and Transition to Protected Mode” on page 93. The segment mechanisms are described in Section 3.5.2 “Segment Mechanisms” on page 66. The active segment register is selected according to the r u l e sl i s t e di nT a b l e3 - 3a n dt h et y p eo fi n s t r u c t i o nb e i n g currently processed. In general, the DS register selector is used for data references. Stack references use the SS register, and instruction fetches use the CS register. While some selections may be overridden, instruction fetches, stack operations, and the destination write operation of string operations cannot be overridden. Special segment- override instruction prefixes allow the use of alternate segment registers. These segment registers include the ES, FS, and GS registers.
3.3.1.3 Instruction Pointer Register
The Instruction Pointer (EIP) Registercontains the off- set into the current code segment of the next instruction to be executed. The register is normally incremented by the length of the current instruction with each instruction exe- cution unless it is implicitly modified through an interrupt, exception, or an instruction that changes the sequential execution flow (for example JMP and CALL). Table 3-3 illustrates the code segment selection rules. Table 3-3.

3.3.1.4 EFLAGS Register
The EFLAGS Register contains status information and controls certain operations on the GXLV processor. The lower 16 bits of this register are referred to as the EFLAGS register that is used when executing 8086 or 80286 code. Table 3-4 gives the bit formats for the EFLAGS Register Table 3-4. EFLAGS Register Bit Name Flag Type Description 31:22 RSVD -- Reserved: Set to 0. 21 ID System Identification Bit: The ability to set and clear this bit indicates that the CPUID instruction is sup- ported. The ID can be modified only if the CPUID bit in CCR4 (Index E8h[7]) is set. 20:19 RSVD -- Reserved: Set to 0.
18 AC System Alignment Check Enable:In conjunction with the AM flag (bit 18) in CR0, the AC flag deter-
mines whether or not misaligned accesses to memory cause a fault. If AC is set, alignment faults are enabled. 17 VM System Virtual 8086 Mode:If set while in protected mode, the processor switches to virtual 8086 opera- tion handling segment loads as the 8086 does, but generating exception 13 faults on privileged opcodes. The VM bit can be set by the IRET instruction (if current privilege level is 0) or by task switches at any privilege level. 16 RF Debug Resume Flag: Used in conjunction with debug register breakpoints. RF is checked at instruction boundaries before breakpoint exception processing. If set, any debug fault is ignored on the next instruction. 15 RSVD -- Reserved: Set to 0. 14 NT System Nested Task:While executing in protected mode, NT indicates that the execution of the current task is nested within another task. 13:12 IOPL System I/O Privilege Level:While executing in protected mode, IOPL indicates the maximum current privilege level (CPL) permitted to execute I/O instructions without generating an exception 13 fault or consulting the I/O permission bit map. IOPL also indicates the maximum CPL allowing alteration of the IF bit when new values are popped into the EFLAGS register. 11 OF Arithmetic Overflow Flag:Set if the operation resulted in a carry or borrow into the sign bit of the result but did not result in a carry or borrow out of the high-order bit. Also set if the operation resulted in a carry or borrow out of the high-order bit but did not result in a carry or borrow into the sign bit of the result.
10 DF Control Direction Flag:When cleared, DF causes string instructions to auto-increment (default) the
appropriate index registers (ESI and/or EDI). Setting DF causes auto-decrement of the index registers to occur.
9 IF System Interrupt Enable Flag:When set, maskable interrupts (INTR input pin) are acknowledged and
serviced by the CPU. 8 TF Debug Trap Enable Flag:Once set, a single-step interrupt occurs after the next instruction completes execution. TF is cleared by the single-step interrupt. 7 SF Arithmetic Sign Flag:Set equal to high-order bit of result (0 indicates positive, 1 indicates negative). 6 ZF Arithmetic Zero Flag:Set if result is zero; cleared otherwise. 5R S V D - - Reserved: Set to 0. 4 AF Arithmetic Auxiliary Carry Flag:Set when a carry out of (addition) or borrow into (subtraction) bit position 3 of the result occurs; cleared otherwise. 3R S V D - - Reserved: Set to 0. 2 PF Arithmetic Parity Flag:Set when the low-order 8 bits of the result contain an even number of ones; other- wise PF is cleared. 1R S V D Reserved: Set to 1. 0 CF Arithmetic Carry Flag:Set when a carry out of (addition) or borrow into (subtraction) the most significant bit of the result occurs; cleared otherwise.

3.3.2 System Register Set
The System Register Set, shown in Table 3-5, consists of registers not generally used by application programmers. These registers are typically employed by system level programmers who generate operating systems and mem- ory management programs. Associated with the System Register Set are certain tables and segments which are listed in Table 3-5. The Control Registerscontrol certain aspects of the GXLV processor such as paging, coprocessor functions, and segment protection. The Configuration Registersa r eu s e dt od e f i n et h e GXLV CPU setup including cache management. The Debug Registersprovide debugging facilities for the GXLV processor and enable the use of data access breakpoints and code execution breakpoints. The Test Registersprovide a mechanism to test the con- tents of both the on-chip 16 KB cache and the T ranslation Lookaside Buffer (TLB). The Descriptor Table Registerhold descriptors that manage memory segments and tables, interrupts and task switching. The tables are defined by corresponding registers. The twoTask State Segment Tablesdefined by TSS reg- ister are used to save and load the computer state when switching tasks. The ID Registersallow BIOS and other software to iden- tify the specific CPU and stepping. System Management Mode (SMM) control information is stored in theSMM Registers. Table 3-5 lists the system register sets along with their size and function. Table 3-5.

3.3.2.1 Control Registers
A map of the Control Registers (CR0, CR1, CR2, CR3, and CR4) is shown in Table 3-6 and the bit definitions are given in Table 3-7. (These registers should not be confused with the CRRn registers.) CR0 contains system control bits which configure operating modes and indicate the general state of the CPU. The lower 16 bits of CR0 are referred to as the Machine Status Word (MSW). When operating in real mode, any program can read and write the control registers. In protected mode, however, only privilege level 0 (most-privileged) programs can read a n dw r i t et h e s er e g i s t e r s . L1 Cache Controller The GXLV processor contains an on-board 16 KB unified data/instruction write-back L1 cache. With the memory controller on-board, the L1 cache requires no external logic to maintain coherency. All DMA cycles automatically snoop the L1 cache. The CD bit (Cache Disable, bit 30) in CR0 globally con- trols the operating mode of the L1 cache. LCD and LWT, Local Cache Disable and Local Write-through bits in the Translation Lookaside Buffer, control the mode on a page- by-page basis. Additionally, memory configuration control can specify certain memory regions as non-cacheable. If the cache is disabled, no further cache line fills occur. However, data already present in the cache continues to be used. For the cache to be completely disabled, the cache must be invalidated with a WBINVD instruction after the cache has been disabled. Write-back caching improves performance by relieving congestion on slower external buses. With four dirty bits, the cache marks dirty locations on a double-word (DWORD) basis. This further reduces the number of DWORD write operations needed during a replacement or flush operation. The GXLV processor will cache SMM regions, reducing system management overhead to allow for hardware emulation such as VGA. Table 3-6.

CR1 Register Control Register 1 (R/W) 31:0 RSVD Reserved CR0 Register Control Register 0 (R/W) 31 PG Paging Enable Bit: If PG = 1 and protected mode is enabled (PE = 1), paging is enabled. After changing the state of PG, software must execute an unconditional branch instruction (e.g., JMP , CALL) to have the change take effect. 30 CD Cache Disable: If CD = 1, no further cache line fills occur. However, data already present in the cache continues to be used if the requested address hits in the cache. Writes continue to update the cache and cache invalida- tions due to inquiry cycles occur normally. The cache must also be invalidated with a WBINVD instruction to com- pletely disable any cache activity. 29 NW Not Write-Through: If NW = 1, the on-chip cache operates in write-back mode. In write-back mode, writes are issued to the external bus only for a cache miss, a line replacement of a modified line, execution of a locked instruction, or a line eviction as the result of a flush cycle. If NW = 0, the on-chip cache operates in write-through mode. In write-through mode, all writes (including cache hits) are issued to the external bus. This bit cannot be changed if LOCK_NW = 1 in CCR2. 28:19 RSVD Reserved 18 AM Alignment Check Mask: If AM = 1, the AC bit in the EFLAGS register is unmasked and allowed to enable align- ment check faults. Setting AM = 0 prevents AC faults from occurring.
17 RSVD Reserved
16 WP Write Protect: Protects read-only pages from supervisor write access. WP = 0 allows a read-only page to be written from privilege level 0-2. WP = 1 forces a fault on a write to a read-only page from any privilege level. 15:6 RSVD Reserved 5N E Numerics Exception: NE = 1 to allow FPU exceptions to be handled by interrupt 16. NE = 0 if FPU exceptions are to be handled by external interrupts. 4R S V D Reserved: Do not attempt to modify, always 1. 3T S Task Switched: Set whenever a task switch operation is performed. Execution of a floating point instruction with TS = 1 causes a DNA fault. If MP = 1 and TS = 1, a WAIT instruction also causes a DNA fault. 2E M Emulate Processor Extension: If EM = 1, all floating point instructions cause a DNA fault 7. 1M P Monitor Processor Extension: If MP = 1 and TS = 1, a WAIT instruction causes Device Not Available (DNA) fault 7. The TS bit is set to 1 on task switches by the CPU. Floating point instructions are not affected by the state of the MP bit. The MP bit should be set to one during normal operations. 0P E Protected Mode Enable: Enables the segment based protection mechanism. If PE = 1, protected mode is enabled. If PE = 0, the CPU operates in real mode and addresses are formed as in an 8086-style CPU. Refer to Section 3.9 “Protection” on page 91. Table 3-7.

3.3.2.2 Configuration Registers
The Configuration Registers listed in T able 3-9 are CPU registers and are selected by register index numbers. The registers are accessed through I/O memory locations 22h and 23h. Registers are selected for access by writing an index number to I/O Port 22h using an OUT instruction prior to transferring data through I/O Port 23h. This opera- tion must be atomic. The CLI instruction must be executed prior to accessing any of these registers. Each data transfer through I/O Port 23h must be preceded by a register index selection through I/O Port 22h; other- wise, subsequent I/O Port 23h operations are directed off- chip and produce external I/O cycles. If MAPEN, bit 4 of CCR3 (Index C3h[4]) = 0, external I/O cycles occur if the register index number is outside the range C0h-CFh, FEh, and FFh. The MAPEN bit should remain 0 during normal operation to allow system regis- ters located at I/O Port 22h to be accessed (see Table 3- 11 on page 52). Table 3-9.

3.3.2.3 Debug Registers
Six debug registers (DR0-DR3, DR6 and DR7) support debugging on the GXLV processor. Memory addresses loaded in the debug registers, referred to as “breakpoints,” generate a debug exception when a memory access of t h es p e c i f i e dt y p eo c c u r st ot h es p e c i f i e da d d r e s s .A breakpoint can be specified for a particular kind of mem- ory access such as a read or write operation. Code and data breakpoints can also be set allowing debug excep- tions to occur whenever a given data access (read or write operation) or code access (execute) occurs. The size of the debug target can be set to 1, 2, or 4 bytes. The debug registers are accessed through MOV instructions that can be executed only at privilege level 0 (real mode is always privilege level 0). The Debug Address Registers (DR0-DR3) each contain the linear address for one of four possible breakpoints. Each breakpoint is further specified by bits in the Debug Control Register (DR7). For each breakpoint address in DR0-DR3, there are corresponding fields L, R/W, and LEN in DR7 that specify the type of memory access asso- ciated with the breakpoint. DR6 is read only and reports the results of the break. The R/W field can be used to specify instruction execution as well as data access breakpoints. Instruction execution breakpoints are always acted upon before execution of the instruction that matches the breakpoint. The Debug Registers are mapped in Table 3-12, and the bit defini- tions are given in Table 3-13 on page 56. Table 3-12.

www.national.com 56 Revision 1.1 Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series The Debug Status Register (DR6) reflects conditions that were in effect at the time the debug exception occurred. The contents of the DR6 register are not automatically cleared by the processor after a debug exception occurs, and therefore should be cleared by software at the appro- priate time. Code execution breakpoints may also be gen- erated by placing the breakpoint instruction (INT3) at the location where control is to be regained. The single-step feature may be enabled by setting the TF flag (bit 8) in the EFLAGS register. This causes the processor to perform a debug exception after the execution of every instruction. Table 3-13. DR7 and DR6 Bit Definitions Field(s) Number of Bits Description DR7 Register Debug Control Register (R/W) R/Wn 2 Applies to the DRn breakpoint address register: 00 = Break on instruction execution only 01 = Break on data write operations only 10 = Not used 11 = Break on data reads or write operations LENn 2 Applies to the DRn breakpoint address register: 00 = One-byte length 01 = Two-byte length 10 = Not used 11 = Four-byte length Gn 1 If = 1: Breakpoint in DRn is globally enabled for all tasks and is not cleared by the processor as the result of a task switch. Ln 1 If = 1: Breakpoint in DRn is locally enabled for the current task and is cleared by the processor as the result of a task switch. GD 1 Global disable of debug register access. GD bit is cleared whenever a debug exception occurs. DR6 Register Debug Status Register (RO) Bn 1 Bn is set by the processor if the conditions described by DRn, R/Wn, and LENn occurred when the debug exception occurred, even if the breakpoint is not enabled via the Gn or Ln bits. BT 1 BT is set by the processor before entering the debug handler if a task switch has occurred to a task with the T bit in the TSS set. BS 1 BS is set by the processor if the debug exception was triggered by the single-step execution mode (TF flag, bit 8, in EFLAGS set). Note: n = 0, 1, 2, and 3

3.3.2.4 TLB Test Registers
Two test registers are used in testing the processor’s Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB), TR6 and TR7. Table 3- 14 is a register map for the TLB Test Registers with their bit definitions given in Table 3-15 on page 58. The test regis- ters are accessed through MOV instructions that can be executed only at privilege level 0 (real mode is always privilege level 0). The CPU TLB is a 32-entry, four-way set associative memory. Each TLB entry consists of a 24-bit tag and 20- bit data. The 24-bit tag represents the high-order 20 bits of the linear address, a valid bit, and three attribute bits. The 20-bit data portion represents the upper 20 bits of the physical address that corresponds to the linear address. The TLB Test Control Register (TR6) contains a com- mand bit, the upper 20 bits of a linear address, a valid bit and the attribute bits used in the test operation. The con- tents of TR6 are used to create the 24-bit TLB tag during both write and read (TLB lookup) test operations. The command bit defines whether the test operation is a read or a write. The TLB Test Data Register (TR7) contains the upper 20 bits of the physical address (TLB data field), three LRU bits, two replacement (REP) bits, and a control bit (PL). During TLB write operations, the physical address in TR7 is written into the TLB entry selected by the contents of TR6. During TLB lookup operations, the TLB data selected by the contents of TR6 is loaded into TR7. T able 3-15 lists the bit definitions for TR7 and TR6. Table 3-14.

3.3.2.5 Cache Test Registers
T h r e et e s tr e g i s t e r sa r eu s e di nt e s t i n gt h ep r o c e s s o r ’ so n - chip cache, TR3-TR5. Table 3-16 is a register map for the Cache Test Registers with their bit definitions given in Table 3-17 on page 60. The test registers are accessed through MOV instructions that can be executed only at privilege level 0 (real mode is always privilege level 0). The processor’s 16 KB on-chip cache is a four-way set associative memory that is configured as write-back cache. Each cache set contains 256 entries. Each entry consists of a 20-bit tag address, a 16-byte data field, a valid bit, and four dirty bits. The 20-bit tag represents the high-order 20 bits of the physical address. The 16-byte data represents the 16 bytes of data currently in memory at the physical address represented by the tag. The valid bit indicates whether the data bytes in the cache actually contain valid data. The four dirty bits indicate if the data bytes in the cache have been modified internally without updating external mem- ory (write-back configuration). Each dirty bit indicates the status for one DWORD (4 bytes) within the 16-byte data field. F o re a c hl i n ei nt h ec a c h e ,t h e r ea r et h r e eL R Ub i t st h a t indicate which of the four sets was most recently accessed. A line is selected using bits [11:4] of the physi- cal address. Using a 16-byte cache fill buffer and a 16- byte cache flush buffer, cache reads and writes may be performed. Figure 3-1 illustrates the internal cache architecture. Figure 3-1.

Revision 1.1 61 www.national.com Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series There are five types of test operations that can be exe- cuted: Flush buffer read F i l l b u f f e r w r i t e C a c h e w r i t e Cache read Cache flush These operations are described in detail in Table 3-18. To fill a cache line with data, the fill buffer must be written four times. Once the fill buffer holds a complete cache line of data (16 bytes), a cache write operation transfers the data from the fill buffer to the cache. To read the contents of a cache line, a cache read opera- tion transfers the data in the selected cache line to the flush buffer. Once the flush buffer is loaded, access the contents of the flush buffer with four flush buffer read operations. Table 3-18.

3.3.3 Model Specific Register Set
The Model Specific Register (MSR) Set is used to monitor the performance of the processor or a specific component within the processor. A MSR can be read using the RDMSR instruction, opcode 0F32h. During a MSR read, the contents of the particular MSR, specified by the ECX register, is loaded into the EDX:EAX registers. A MSR can be written using the WRMSR instruction, opcode 0F30h. During a MSR write, the contents of EDX:EAX are loaded into the MSR specified in the ECX register. The RDMSR and WRMSR instructions are privileged instructions. The GXLV processor contains one 64-bit model specific register (MSR10) the Time Stamp Counter (TSC).
3.3.4 Time Stamp Counter
The TSC, (MSR[10]), is a 64-bit counter that counts the internal CPU clock cycles since the last reset. The TSC uses a continuous CPU core clock and will continue to count clock cycles unless the processor is in Suspend. The TSC is read using a RDMSR instruction, opcode 0F32h, with the ECX register set to 10h. During a TSC read, the contents of the TSC is loaded into the EDX:EAX registers. The TSC is written to using a WRMSR instruction, opcode 0F30h with the ECX register set to 10h. During a TSC write, the contents of EDX:EAX are loaded into the TSC. The RDMSR and WRMSR instructions are privileged instructions. I na d d i t i o n ,t h eT S Cc a nb er e a du s i n gt h eR D T S C instruction, opcode 0F31h. The RDTSC instruction loads the contents of the TSC into EDX:EAX. The use of the RDTSC instruction is restricted by the TSC flag (bit 2) in the CR4 register (refer to Tables 3-6 and 3-7 on page 48 for CR4 register information). When the TSC bit = 0, the RDTSC instruction can be executed at any privilege level. When the TSC bit = 1, the RDTSC instruction can only be executed at privilege level 0.

3.4 ADDRESS SPACES
The GXLV processor can directly address either memory or I/O space. Figure 3-2 illustrates the range of addresses available for memory address space and I/O address space. For the CPU, the addresses for physical memory range between 0000 0000h and FFFFF FFFh (4 GB). The accessible I/O address space ranges between 00000000h and 0000FFFFh (64 KB). The CPU does not use coprocessor communication space in upper I/O space between 800000F8h and 800000FFh as do the 386-style CPUs. The I/O locations 22h and 23h are used for GXLV processor configuration register access.
3.4.1 I/O Address Space
The CPU I/O address space is accessed using IN and OUT instructions to addresses referred to as “ports.”T h e accessible I/O address space is 64 KB and can be accessed as 8-, 16- or 32-bit ports. The GXLV processor configuration registers reside within the I/O address space at port addresses 22h and 23h and are accessed using the standard IN and OUT instructions. The configuration registers are modified by writing the index of the configuration register to Port 22h, and then transferring the data through Port 23h. Accesses to the on-chip configuration registers do not generate external I/O cycles. However, each operation on Port 23h must be preceded by a write to Port 22h with a valid index value. Otherwise, subsequent Port 23h operations will communi- cate through the I/O port to produce external I/O cycles with- out modifying the on-chip configuration registers. Write operations to port 22h outside of the CPU index range (C0h-CFh and FEh-FFh) result in external I/O cycles and do not affect the on-chip configuration registers. Reading Port 22h generates external I/O cycles. I/O accesses to port address range 3B0h through 3DFh can be trapped to SMI by the CPU if this option is enabled in the BC_XMAP_1 register (see SMIB, SMIC, and SMID bits in T able 4-9 on page 104). Figure 3-2 illustrates the I/O address space. Figure 3-2.

3.4.2 Memory Address Space
The processor directly addresses up to 4 GB of physical memory even though the memory controller addresses only 256 MB of DRAM. Memory address space is accessed as BYTES, WORDS (16 bits) or DWORDs (32 bits). WORDS and DWORDs are stored in consecutive memory bytes with the low-order byte located in the low- est address. The physical address of a WORD or DWORD is the byte address of the low-order byte. The processor allows memory to be addressed using nine different addressing modes. These addressing modes are used to calculate an offset address, often referred to as an effective address. Depending on the operating mode of the CPU, the offset is then combined, using memory man- agement mechanisms, into a physical address that is applied to the physical memory devices. Memory management mechanisms consist of segmenta- tion and paging. Segmentation allows each program to use several independent, protected address spaces. Pag- ing translates a logical address into a physical address using translation lookup tables. Virtual memory is often implemented using paging. Either or both of these mecha- nisms can be used for management of the GXLV proces- sor memory address space.
3.5 OFFSET, SEGMENT, AND PAGING
The mapping of address space into a sequence of mem- ory locations (often cached) is performed by the offset, segment, and paging mechanisms. In general, the offset, segment and paging mechanisms work in tandem as shown below: instruction offset/G01 offset mechanism/G01 offset address offset address/G01 /G02 segment mechanism /G01 linear address linear address/G01 paging mechanism/G01 physical page. As will be explained, the actual operations depend on sev- eral factors such as the current operating mode and if paging is enabled. Note: The paging mechanism uses part of the linear address as an offset on the physical page.
3.5.1 Offset Mechanism
In all operating modes, the offset mechanism computes an offset (effective) address by adding together up to three values: a base, an index and a displacement. The base, if present, is the value in one of eight general regis- ters at the time of the execution of the instruction. The index, like the base, is a value that is contained in one of the general registers (except the ESP register) when the instruction is executed. The index differs from the base in that the index is first multiplied by a scale factor of 1, 2, 4 or 8 before the summation is made. The third component added to the memory address calculation is the displace- ment that is a value supplied as part of the instruction. Figure 3-3 illustrates the calculation of the offset address. Nine valid combinations of the base, index, scale factor and displacement can be used with the CPU instruction set. These combinations are listed in Table 3-19. The base and index both refer to contents of a register as indi- cated by [Base] and [Index]. In real mode operation, the CPU only addresses the low- est 1 MB of memory and the offset contains 16-bits. In protected mode the offset contains 32 bits. Initialization and transition to protected mode is described in Section 3.9.4“Initialization and Transition to Protected Mode” on page 93. Figure 3-3.

3.5.2 Segment Mechanisms
Memory is divided into contiguous regions called“seg- ments.” The segments allow the partitioning of individual elements of a program. Each segment provides a zero address-based private memory for such elements as code, data, and stack space. The segment mechanisms select a segment in memory. Memory is divided into an arbitrary number of segments, each containing usually much less than the 2 32 byte (4 GB) maximum. There are two segment mechanisms, one for real and vir- tual 8086 operating modes, and one for protected mode.
3.5.2.1 Real Mode Segment Mechanism
In real mode operation, the CPU addresses only the low- est 1 MB of memory. In this mode a selector located in one of the segment registers is used to locate a segment. To calculate a physical memory address, the 16-bit seg- ment base address located in the selected segment regis- ter is multiplied by 16 and then a 16-bit offset address is added. The resulting 20-bit address is then extended with twelve zeros in the upper address bits to create a 32-bit physical address. The value of the selector (the INDEX field) is multiplied by 16 to produce a base address (see Figure 3-4). The base address is summed with the instruction offset value to pro- duce a physical address.
3.5.2.2 Virtual 8086 Mode Segment Mechanism
In virtual 8086 mode the operation is performed as in real mode except that a paging mechanism is added. When paging is enabled, the paging mechanism translates the linear address into a physical address using cached look- up tables (refer to Section 3.5.4“Paging Mechanism” on page 77).Figure 3-4.

3.5.2.3 Segment Mechanism in Protected Mode
The segment mechanism in protected mode is more com- plex. Basically as in real and virtual 8086 modes the offset address is added to the segment base address to pro- duce a linear address (Figure 3-5). However, the calcula- tion of the segment base address is based on the contents of descriptor tables. If paging is enabled the linear address is further pro- cessed by the paging mechanism. A more detailed look at the segment mechanisms for real and virtual 8086 modes and protected modes is illustrated in Figure 3-6 on page 68. In protected mode, the segment selector is cached. This is illustrated in Figure 3-7 on page 69.
3.5.2.4 Segment Selectors
The segment registers are used to store segment selec- tors. In protected mode, the segment selectors are divided in to three fields: the RPL, TI and INDEX fields as shown in Figure 3-6 on page 68. The segments are assigned permission levels to prevent application program errors from disrupting operating pro- grams. The Requested Privilege Level (RPL) determines the effective privilege level of an instruction. RPL = 0 indi- cates the most privileged level, and RPL = 3 indicates the least privileged level. Refer to Section 3.9“Protection” on page 91. Descriptor tables hold descriptors that allow management of segments and tables in address space while in pro- tected mode. The Table Indicator Bit (TI) in the selector selects either the General Descriptor Table (GDT) or one Local Descriptor Table (LDT). If TI = 0, GDT is selected; if TI =1, LDT is selected. The 13-bit INDEX field in the seg- ment selector is used to index a GDT or LDT. Figure 3-5.

3.5.3 Descriptors
3.5.3.1 Global and Local Descriptor Table Registers
The GDT and LDT descriptor tables are defined by the Global Descriptor T able Register (GDTR) and the Local Descriptor Table Register (LDTR) respectively. Some texts refer to these registers as GDT and LDT descriptors. The following instructions are used in conjunction with the GDT and LDT registers: LGDT - Load memory to GDTR LLDT - Load memory to LDTR SGDT - Store GDTR to memory SLDT - Store LDTR to memory The GDTR is set up in real mode using the LGDT instruc- tion. This is possible as the LGDT instruction is one of two instructions that directly load a linear address (instead of a segment relative address) in protected mode. (The other instruction is the Load Interrupt Descriptor Table [LIDT]). As shown in Table 3-20, the GDTR contains a BASE field and a LIMIT field that define the GDTs. The Interrupt Descriptor Table Register (IDTR) is described in Section 3.5.3.3“Task, Gate, Interrupt, and Application and System Descriptors”on page 71. Also shown in Table 3-20, the LDTR is only two bytes wide as it contains only a SELECTOR field. The contents of the SELECTOR field point to a descriptor in the GDT.
3.5.3.2 Segment Descriptors
There are several types of descriptors. A segment descriptor defines the base address, limit, and attributes of a memory segment. The GDT or LDT can hold several types of descriptors. In particular, the segment descriptors are stored in either of two registers, the GDT or the LDT . Either of these tables can store as many as 8,192 (2 13) 8-byte selectors taking as much as 64 KB of memory. The first descriptor in the GDT (location 0) is not used by the CPU and is referred to as the“null descriptor.” Types of Segment Descriptors The type of memory segments are defined by correspond- ing types of segment descriptors: Code Segment Descriptors Data Segment Descriptors Stack Segment Descriptors LDT Segment Descriptors Table 3-20.

3.5.3.3 Task, Gate, Interrupt, and Application and
Besides segment descriptors there are descriptors used in task switching, switching between tasks with different priority and those used to control interrupt functions: Interrupt Descriptors Application and System Segment Descriptors Gate Descriptors Task State Segment Descriptors All descriptors have some things in common. They are all eight bytes in length and have three fields (BASE, LIMIT, and TYPE). The BASE field defines the starting location for the table or segment. The LIMIT field defines the size and the TYPE field depends on the type of descriptor. One of the main functions of the TYPE field is to define the access rights to the associated segment or table. Interrupt Descriptors The Interrupt Descriptor Table is an array of 256 8-byte (4- byte for real mode) interrupt descriptors, each of which is used to point to an interrupt service routine. Every inter- rupt that may occur in the system must have an associ- ated entry in the IDT. The contents of the IDTR are completely visible to the programmer through the use of the SIDT instruction. The IDT is defined by the Interrupt Descriptor Table Reg- ister (IDTR). Some texts refer to this register as an IDT descriptor. T h ef o l l o w i n gi n s t r u c t i o n sa r eu s e di nc o n j u n c t i o nw i t ht h e IDTR: LIDT - Load memory to IDTR SIDT - Store IDTR to memory The IDTR is set up in real mode using the LIDT instruc- tion. This is possible as the LIDT instruction is only one of two instructions that directly load a linear address (instead of a segment relative address) in protected mode (the other instructions is LGDT). As previously shown in Table 3-20 on page 70, the IDTR contains a BASE ADDRESS field and a LIMIT field that define the IDT tables. Application and System Segment Descriptors The bit structure and bit definitions for segment descrip- tors are shown in T able 3-21 and Table 3-22 on page 72, respectively.

www.national.com 74 Revision 1.1 Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Gate Descriptors Four kinds of gate descriptors are used to provide protec- tion during control transfers: Call gates Trap gates Interrupt gates Task gates (For more information on protection refer to Section 3.9 “Protection”on page 91.) Call Gate Descriptor (CGD).Call gates are used to define legal entry points to a procedure with a higher priv- ilege level. The call gates are used by CALL and JUMP instructions in much the same manner as code segment descriptors. When a decoded instruction refers to a call gate descriptor in the GDT or LDT, the call gate is used to point to another descriptor in the table that defines the destination code segment. The following privilege levels are tested during the transfer through the call gate: CPL = Current Privilege Level RPL = Segment Selector Field DPL = Descriptor Privilege Level in the call gate descriptor DPL = Descriptor Privilege Level in the destination code segment The maximum value of the CPL and RPL must be equal or less than the gate DPL. For a JMP instruction the desti- nation DPL equals the CPL. For a CALL instruction the destination DPL is less than or equal to the CPL. Conforming Code Segments. Transfer to a procedure with a higher privilege level can also be accomplished by bypassing the use of call gates, if the requested proce- dure is to be executed in a conforming code segment. Conforming code segments have the C bit set in the TYPE field in their descriptor. The bit structure and definitions for gate descriptors are shown in T ables 3-24 and 3-25. Table 3-24.

Revision 1.1 75 www.national.com Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Task State Segments Descriptors The CPU enables rapid task switching using JMP and CALL instructions that refer to Task State Segment (TSS) descriptors. During a switch, the complete task state of the current task is stored in its TSS, and the task state of the requested task is loaded from its TSS. The TSSs are defined through special segment descriptors and gates. The Task Register (TR)holds 16-bit descriptors that con- tain the base address and segment limit for each task state segment. The TR is loaded and stored via the LTR and STR instructions, respectively. The TR can be accessed only during protected mode and can be loaded when the privilege level is 0 (most privileged). When the TR is loaded, the TR selector field indexes a TSS descrip- tor that must reside in the Global Descriptor Table (GDT). Only the 16-bit selector of a TSS descriptor in the TR is accessible. The BASE, TSS LIMIT and ACCESS RIGHT fields are program invisible. During task switching, the processor saves the current CPU state in the TSS before starting a new task. The TSS can be either a 386/486-type 32-bit TSS (see Table 3-26) or a 286-type 16-bit TSS (see Table 3-27). Task Gate Descriptors. A task gate descriptor provides controlled access to the descriptor for a task switch. The DPL of the task gate is used to control access. The selec- tor’s RPL and the CPL of the procedure must be a higher level (numerically less) than the DPL of the descriptor. The RPL in the task gate is not used.

The paging mechanism translates a linear address to its corresponding physical address. If the required page is not currently present in RAM, an exception is generated. When the operating system services the exception, the required page can be loaded into memory and the instruc- tion restarted. Pages are either 4 KB or 1 MB in size. The CPU defaults to 4 KB pages that are aligned to 4 KB boundaries. A page is addressed by using two levels of tables as illus- trated in Figure 3-8. Bits [31:22] of the 32-bit linear a d d r e s s ,t h eD i r e c t o r yT a b l eI n d e x( D T I ) ,a r eu s e dt o locate an entry in the page directory table. The page directory table acts as a 32-bit master index to up to 1 KB individual second-level page tables. The selected entry in the page directory table, referred to as the directory table entry (DTE), identifies the starting address of the second- level page table. The page directory table itself is a page a n di st h e r e f o r ea l i g n e dt oa4K Bb o u n d a r y .T h ep h y s i c a l address of the current page directory table is stored in the CR3 control register, also referred to as the Page Direc- tory Base Register (PDBR). Bits [21:12] of the 32-bit linear address, referred to as the Page T able Index (PTI), locate a 32-bit entry in the sec- ond-level page table. This page table entry (PTE) contains the base address of the desired page frame. The second- level page table addresses up to 1K individual page frames. A second-level page table is 4 KB in size and is itself a page. Bits [11:0] of the 32-bit linear address, the Page Frame Offset (PFO), locate the desired physical data within the page frame. Since the page directory table can point to 1 KB page tables, and each page table can point to 1 KB page frames, a total of 1 MB page frames can be implemented. Each page frame contains 4 KB, therefore, up to 4 GB of virtual memory can be addressed by the CPU with a sin- g l ep a g ed i r e c t o r yt a b l e . Figure 3-8.

www.national.com 78 Revision 1.1 Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Along with the base address of the page table or the page frame, each DTE or PTE contains attribute bits and a present bit as illustrated in Table 3-28. If the present bit (P) is set in the DTE, the page table is present and the appropriate page table entry is read. If P = 1 in the corresponding PTE (indicating that the page is in memory), the accessed and dirty bits are updated, if necessary, and the operand is fetched. Both accessed bits are set (DTE and PTE), if necessary, to indicate that the table and the page have been used to translate a linear address. The dirty bit (D) is set before the first write is made to a page. The present bits must be set to validate the remaining bits in the DTE and PTE. If either of the present bits are not set, a page fault is generated when the DTE or PTE is accessed. If P = 0, the remaining DTE/PTE bits are avail- able for use by the operating system. For example, the operating system can use these bits to record where on the hard disk the pages are located. A page fault is also generated if the memory reference violates the page pro- tection attributes. Translation Look-Aside Buffer The translation look-aside buffer (TLB) is a cache for the paging mechanism and replaces the two-level page table lookup procedure for TLB hits. The TLB is a four-way set associative 32-entry page table cache that automatically keeps the most commonly used page table entries in the processor. The 32-entry TLB, coupled with a 4 KB page size, results in coverage of 128 KB of memory addresses. The TLB must be flushed when entries in the page tables are changed. The TLB is flushed whenever the CR3 regis- ter is loaded. An individual entry in the TLB can be flushed using the INVLPG instruction. DTE Cache The DTE cache caches the two most recent DTEs so that future TLB misses only require a single page table read to calculate the physical address. The DTE cache is dis- abled following RESET and can be enabled by setting the DTE_EN bit in CCR4[4] (see CCR4 register on page 53). Table 3-28.

3.6 INTERRUPTS AND EXCEPTIONS
The processing of either an interrupt or an exception changes the normal sequential flow of a program by trans- ferring program control to a selected service routine. Except for SMM interrupts, the location of the selected service routine is determined by one of the interrupt vec- tors stored in the interrupt descriptor table. True interrupts are hardware interrupts and are generated by signal sources external to the CPU. All exceptions (including so-called software interrupts) are produced inter- nally by the CPU.
3.6.1 Interrupts
External events can interrupt normal program execution by using one of the three interrupt pins on the GXLV pro- cessor: Non-maskable Interrupt (No pin, see note) Maskable Interrupt (INTR pin) SMM Interrupt (SMI# pin) Note: There is not an NMI pin on the GXLV processor. Generation of an NMI interrupt is not possible. However, software can generate an NMI by setting bit 2 of CCR7. (See the CCR7 register on page 53.) For most interrupts, program transfer to the interrupt rou- tine occurs after the current instruction has been com- pleted. When the execution returns to the original program, it begins immediately following the interrupted instruction. The NMI interruptcannot be masked by software and always uses interrupt vector two to locate its service rou- tine. Since the interrupt vector is fixed and is supplied internally, no interrupt acknowledge bus cycles are per- formed. This interrupt is normally reserved for unusual sit- uations such as parity errors and has priority over INTR interrupts. Once NMI processing has started, no additional NMIs are processed until an IRET instruction is executed, typically at the end of the NMI service routine. If the NMI is re- asserted before execution of the IRET instruction, one and only one NMI rising edge is stored and then pro- cessed after execution of the next IRET. During the NMI service routine, maskable interrupts may be enabled. If an unmasked INTR occurs during the NMI service routine, the INTR is serviced and execution returns to the NMI service routine following the next IRET. If a HALT instruction is executed within the NMI service routine, the CPU restarts execution only in response to RESET , an unmasked INTR or a System Management Mode (SMM) interrupt. NMI does not restart CPU execu- tion under this condition. The INTR interruptis unmasked when the Interrupt Enable Flag (IF , bit 9) in the EFLAGS register is set to 1 (See the EFLAGS Register in Table 3-4 on page 46). Except for string operations, INTR interrupts are acknowl- edged between instructions. Long string operations have interrupt windows between memory moves that allow INTR interrupts to be acknowledged. When an INTR interrupt occurs, the CPU performs an interrupt-acknowledge bus cycle. During this cycle, the CPU reads an 8-bit vector that is supplied by an external interrupt controller. This vector selects which of the 256 possible interrupt handlers will be executed in response to the interrupt. The SMM interrupthas higher priority than either INTR or NMI. After SMI# is asserted, program execution is passed to an SMM service routine that runs in SMM address space reserved for this purpose. The remainder of this section does not apply to the SMM interrupts. SMM inter- rupts are described in greater detail later in Section 3.7 “System Management Mode”on page 83.
3.6.2 Exceptions
Exceptions are generated by an interrupt instruction or a program error. Exceptions are classified as traps, faults or aborts depending on the mechanism used to report them and the restartability of the instruction which first caused the exception. A Trap exceptionis reported immediately following the instruction that generated the trap exception. Trap excep- tions are generated by execution of a software interrupt instruction (INTO, INT3, INTn, BOUND), by a single-step operation or by a data breakpoint. Software interrupts can be used to simulate hardware interrupts. For example, an INTn instruction causes the processor to execute the interrupt service routine pointed to by the nth vector in the interrupt table. Execution of the interrupt service routine occurs regardless of the state of the IF flag (bit 9) in the EFLAGS register. The one byte INT3, or breakpoint interrupt (vector 3), is a particular case of the INTn instruction. By inserting this one byte instruction in a program, the user can set break- points in the code that can be used during debug.
www.national.com 80 Revision 1.1 Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Single-step operation is enabled by setting the TF bit (bit 8) in the EFLAGS register. When the TF is set, the CPU generates a debug exception (vector 1) after the execution of every instruction. Data breakpoints also generate a debug exception and are specified by loading the debug registers (DR0-DR3, see Table 3-12 on page 55) with the appropriate values. A Fault exceptionis reported before completion of the instruction that generated the exception. By reporting the fault before instruction completion, the CPU is left in a state that allows the instruction to be restarted and the effects of the faulting instruction to be nullified. Fault exceptions include divide-by-zero errors, invalid opcodes, page faults and coprocessor errors. Debug exceptions (vector 1) are also handled as faults (except for data breakpoints and single-step operations). After execution of the fault service routine, the instruction pointer points to the instruction that caused the fault. An Abort exceptioni sat y p eo ff a u l te x c e p t i o nt h a ti s severe enough that the CPU cannot restart the program at the faulting instruction. The double fault (vector 8) is the only abort exception that occurs on the CPU.
3.6.3 Interrupt Vectors
When the CPU services an interrupt or exception, the cur- rent program’s instruction pointer and flags are pushed onto the stack to allow resumption of execution of the interrupted program. In protected mode, the processor also saves an error code for some exceptions. Program control is then transferred to the interrupt handler (also called the interrupt service routine). Upon execution of an IRET at the end of the service routine, program execution resumes at the instruction pointer address saved on the stack when the interrupt was serviced.
3.6.3.1 Interrupt Vector Assignments
Each interrupt (except SMI#) and exception are assigned one of 256 interrupt vector numbers as shown in Table 3- 29. The first 32 interrupt vector assignments are defined or reserved. INT instructions acting as software interrupts may use any of interrupt vectors, 0 through 255. The non-maskable hardware interrupt (NMI) is assigned vector 2. Illegal opcodes including faulty FPU instructions will cause an illegal opcode exception, interrupt vector 6. NMI interrupts are enabled by setting bit 2 of the CCR7 r e g i s t e r( I n d e xE B h [ 2 ]=1 ,s e eT a b l e3 - 1 1o np a g e5 2f o r register format). In response to a maskable hardware interrupt (INTR), the CPU issues interrupt acknowledge bus cycles used to read the vector number from external hardware. These vectors should be in the range 32 to 255 as vectors 0 to 31 are pre- defined.
3.6.3.2 Interrupt Descriptor Table
The interrupt vector number is used by the CPU to locate an entry in the interrupt descriptor table (IDT). In real mode, each IDT entry consists of a 4-byte far pointer to the beginning of the corresponding interrupt service rou- tine. In protected mode, each IDT entry is an 8-byte descriptor. The Interrupt Descriptor Table Register (IDTR) specifies the beginning address and limit of the IDT . Fol- lowing RESET, the IDTR contains a base address of 00000000h with a limit of 3FFh. The IDT can be located anywhere in physical memory as determined by the IDTR register. The IDT may contain dif- ferent types of descriptors: interrupt gates, trap gates and task gates. Interrupt gates are used primarily to enter a hardware interrupt handler. T rap gates are generally used to enter an exception handler or software interrupt han- dler. If an interrupt gate is used, the Interrupt Enable Flag (IF) in the EFLAGS register is cleared before the interrupt handler is entered. T ask gates are used to make the tran- sition to a new task.

3.6.4 Interrupt and Exception Priorities
As the CPU executes instructions, it follows a consistent policy for prioritizing exceptions and hardware interrupts. The priorities for competing interrupts and exceptions are listed in Table 3-30. SMM interrupts always take prece- dence. Debug traps for the previous instruction and next instructions are handled as the next priority. When NMI and maskable INTR interrupts are both detected at the same instruction boundary, the GXLV processor services the NMI interrupt first. The CPU checks for exceptions in parallel with instruction decoding and execution. Several exceptions can result from a single instruction. However, only one exception is generated upon each attempt to execute the instruction. Each exception service routine should make the appropri- ate corrections to the instruction and then restart the instruction. In this way, exceptions can be serviced until the instruction executes properly. The CPU supports instruction restart after all faults, except when an instruction causes a task switch to a task whose T ask State Segment (TSS) is partially not present. A TSS can be partially not present if the TSS is not page aligned and one of the pages where the TSS resides is not currently in memory. Table 3-30.

3.6.5 Exceptions in Real Mode
Many of the exceptions described in Table 3-29 "Interrupt Vector Assignments" on page 80 are not applicable in real mode. Exceptions 10, 11, and 14 do not occur in real mode. Other exceptions have slightly different meanings in real mode as listed in Table 3-31.
3.6.6 Error Codes
When operating in protected mode, the following exceptions generate a 16-bit error code: Double Fault Alignment Check Invalid TSS Segment Not Present Stack Fault General Protection Fault Page Fault The error code format and bit definitions are shown in T able 3-32. Bits [15:3] (selector index) are not meaningful if the error code was generated as the result of a page fault. The error code is always zero for double faults and alignment check exceptions.

3.7 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT MODE
System Management Mode (SMM) is an enhancement of the standard x86 architecture. SMM is usually employed for system power management or software-transparent emulation of I/O peripherals. SMM is entered through a hardware signal“System Management Interrupt” (SMI# pin) that has a higher priority than any other interrupt, including NMI. An SMM interrupt can also be triggered from software using an SMINT instruction. Following an SMM interrupt, portions of the CPU state are automati- cally saved, SMM is entered, and program execution begins at the base of SMM address space (Figure 3-9). The GXLV processor extends System Management Mode to support the virtualization of many devices, including VGA video. The SMM mechanism can be triggered not only by I/O activity, but by access to selected memory regions. For example, SMM interrupts are generated when VGA addresses are accessed. As will be described, other SMM enhancements have reduced SMM overhead and improved virtualization-software performance Figure 3-9.

3.7.1 SMM Operation
SMM execution flow is summarized in Figure 3-10. Enter- ing SMM requires the assertion of the SMI# pin for at least two SYSCLK periods or execution of the SMINT instruction. For the SMI# signal or SMINT instruction to be recog- nized, the following configuration registers must be pro- grammed: SMAR (Index CDh-CFh) - The SMM Base address and size. CCR1 (Index C1) - SMAC bit and/or USE_SMI bit. These registers formats are given in Table 3-11 on page 52. After triggering an SMM through the SMI# pin or a SMINT instruction, selected CPU state information is automati- cally saved in the SMM memory space header located at the top of SMM memory space. After saving the header, the CPU enters real mode and begins executing the SMM service routine starting at the SMM memory region base address. The SMM service routine is user definable and may con- tain system or power management software. If the power management software forces the CPU to power down or if the SMM service routine modifies more registers than are automatically saved, the complete CPU state information should be saved.

3.7.2 SMI# Pin
External chipsets can generate an SMI based on numer- ous asynchronous events, including power management timers, I/O address trapping, external devices, audio FIFO events, and others. Since SMI# is edge sensitive, the chipset must generate an edge for each of the events above, requiring arbitration and storage of multiple SMM events. These functions are provided by the CS5530 I/O companion device. The processor generates an SMI when the external pin changes from high-to-low or when an Resume (RSM) occurs if SMI# has not remained low since the initiation of the previous SMI.
3.7.3 SMM Configuration Registers
The SMAR register specifies the base location of SMM code region and its size limit. The SMHR register specifies the 32-bit physical address of the SMM header. The SMHR address must be 32-bit aligned as the bottom two bits are ignored by the micro- code. Hardware will detect write operations to SMAR, and signal the microcode to recompute the header address. Access to the SMAR and SMHR registers is enabled by MAPEN (Index C3h[4] see bit details on page 52). The SMAR register writes to the SMHR register when the SMAR register is changed. For this reason, changes to the SMAR register should be completed prior to setting up the SMHR register. The configuration registers bit formats are detailed in Table 3-11 beginning on page 52.
3.7.4 SMM Memory Space Header
Tables 3-34 and 3-35 show the SMM header. A memory address field has been added to the end (offset -40h) of the header for the GXLV processor. Memory data will be stored overlapping the I/O data, since these events can- not occur simultaneously. The I/O address is valid for both IN and OUT instructions, and I/O data is valid only for OUT . The memory address is valid for read and write operations, and memory data is valid only for write opera- tions. With every SMI interrupt or SMINT instruction, selected CPU state information is automatically saved in the SMM memory space header located at the top of SMM address space. The header contains CPU state information that is modified when servicing an SMM interrupt. Included in this information are two pointers. The Current IP points to the instruction executing when the SMI was detected, but it is valid only for an internal I/O SMI. The Next IP points to the instruction that will be executed after exiting SMM. The contents of Debug Register 7 (DR7), the Extended Flags Register (EFLAGS), and Con- trol Register 0 (CR0) are also saved. If SMM has been entered due to an I/O trap for a REP INSx or REP OUTSx instruction, the Current IP and Next IP fields contain the same addresses. In addition, the I and P fields contain valid information. If entry into SMM is the result of an I/O trap, it is useful for the programmer to know the port address, data size and data value associated with that I/O operation. This informa- tion is also saved in the header and is valid only if SMI# is asserted during an I/O bus cycle. The I/O trap information is not restored within the CPU when executing a RSM instruction.

3.7.5 SMM Instructions
The GXLV processor core automatically saves a minimal amount of CPU state information when entering SMM which allows fast SMM service routine entry and exit. After entering the SMM service routine, the MOV, SVDC, SVLDT and SVTS instructions can be used to save the complete CPU state information. If the SMM service rou- tine modifies more state information than is automatically saved or if it forces the CPU to power down, the complete CPU state information must be saved. Since the CPU is a static device, its internal state is retained when the input clock is stopped. Therefore, an entire CPU-state save is not necessary before stopping the input clock. The SMM instructions, listed in T able 3-36, can be exe- cuted only if all the conditions listed below are met. 1. USE_SMI = 1. 2. SMAR size > 0. 3. Current Privilege Level = 0. 4 . S M A Cb i ti sh i g ho rt h eC P Ui si na nS M Ms e r v i c e routine. If any one of the conditions above is not met and an attempt is made to execute an SVDC, RSDC, SVLDT, RSLDT, SVTS, RSTS, or RSM instruction, an invalid opcode exception is generated. The SMM instructions can be executed outside of defined SMM space provided the conditions above are met. The SMINT instruction can be used by software to enter SMM. The SMINT instruction can only be used outside an SMM routine if all the conditions listed below are true. 1. USE_SMI = 1 2. SMAR size > 0 3. Current Privilege Level = 0 4. SMAC = 1 If SMI# is asserted to the CPU during a software SMI, the hardware SMI# is serviced after the software SMI has been exited by execution of the RSM instruction. All the SMM instructions (except RSM and SMINT) save or restore 80 bits of data, allowing the saved values to include the hidden portion of the register contents. Table 3-36.

3.7.6 SMM Memory Space
SMM memory space is defined by specifying the base address and size of the SMM memory space in the SMAR register. The base address must be a multiple of the SMM memory space size. For example, a 32 KB SMM memory space must be located at a 32 KB address boundary. The memory space size can range from 4 KB to 32 MB. Execu- tion of the interrupt begins at the base of the SMM memory space. SMM memory space accesses are always cacheable, which allows SMM routines to run faster.
3.7.7 SMI Generation for Virtual VGA
The GXLV processor implements SMI generation for VGA accesses. When enabled memory write operations in regions A0000h to AFFFFh, B0000h to B7FFFh, and B8000h to BFFFFh generate an SMI. Memory reads are not trapped by the GXLV processor. When enabled, the GXLV processor traps I/O addresses for VGA in the fol- lowing regions: 3B0h to 3BFh, 3C0h to 3CFh, and 3D0h to 3DFh. Memory-write trapping is performed during instruction decode in the processor core. I/O read and write trapping is implemented in the Internal Bus Interface Unit of the GXLV processor. The SMI-generation hardware requires two additional configuration registers to control and mask SMI interrupts in the VGA memory space: VGACTL and VGAM. The VGACTL register has a control bit for each address range shown above. The VGAM register has 32 bits that can selectively disable 2 KB regions within the VGA memory. The VGAM applies only to the A0000h to AFFFFh region. If this region is not enabled in VGA_CTL, then the con- tents of VGAM is ignored. The purpose of VGAM is to pre- vent an SMI from occurring when non-displayed VGA memory is accessed. This is an enhancement which improves performance for double-buffered applications. The format of each register is shown in Table 4-37 on page 163.
3.7.8 SMM Service Routine Execution
Upon entry into SMM, after the SMM header has been saved, the CR0, EFLAGS, and DR7 registers are set to their reset values. The Code Segment (CS) register is loaded with the base, as defined by the SMAR register, and a limit of 4 GB. The SMM service routine then begins execution at the SMM base address in real mode. The programmer must save, restore the value of any reg- isters not saved in the header that may be changed by the SMM service routine. For data accesses immediately after entering the SMM service routine, the programmer must use CS as a segment override. I/O port access is possible during the routine but care must be taken to save registers modified by the I/O instructions. Before using a segment register, the register and the register’s descriptor cache con- tents should be saved using the SVDC instruction. Hardware interrupts, INTRs and NMIs, may be serviced during an SMM service routine. If interrupts are to be ser- viced while executing in the SMM memory space, the SMM memory space must be within the address range of 0 to 1 MB to guarantee proper return to the SMM service routine after handling the interrupt. INTRs are automatically disabled when entering SMM since the IF flag (EFLAGS register, bit 9) is set to its reset value. Once in SMM, the INTR can be enabled by setting the IF flag. An NMI event in SMM can be enabled by set- ting NMI_EN high in the CCR3 register (Index C3h[1]). If NMI is not enabled while in SMM, the CPU latches one NMI event and services the interrupt after NMI has been enabled or after exiting SMM through the RSM instruction. Upon entering SMM, the processor is in real mode, but it may exit to either real or protected mode depending on its state when SMM was initiated. The SMM header indicates to which state it will exit. W i t h i nt h eS M Ms e r v i c er o u t i n e ,p r o t e c t e dm o d em a yb e entered and exited as required, and real or protected mode device drivers may be called. To exit the SMM service routine, an RSM instruction, rather than an IRET, is executed. The RSM instruction causes the GXLV processor core to restore the CPU state using the SMM header information and resume execution at the interrupted point. If the full CPU state was saved by the programmer, the stored values should be reloaded before executing the RSM instruction using the MOV , RSDC, RSLDT and RSTS instructions.
3.7.8.1 SMI Nesting
The SMI mechanism supports nesting of SMI interrupts through the SMM service routine the SMI_NEST bit in the CCR4 register (Index E8h[6]), and the Nested SMI Status bit (bit N in the SMM header, see Table 3-35 "SMM Mem- ory Space Header Description" on page 86). Nesting is an important capability in allowing high-priority events, such as audio virtualization, to interrupt lower-priority SMI code for VGA virtualization or power management. SMI_NEST controls whether SMI interrupts can occur during SMM. SMM service routines can optionally set SMI_NEST high to allow higher-priority SMI interrupts while handling the current event. The SMM service routine is responsible for managing the SMM header data for nested SMI interrupts. The SMM header must be saved before SMI_NEST is set high, and SMI_NEST must be cleared and its header information restored before an RSM instruction is executed. The Nested SMI Status bit has been added to the SMM header to show whether the current SMI is nested. The processor sets Nested SMI Status high if the processor was in SMM when the SMI was taken. The processor uses Nested SMI Status on exit to determine whether the processor should stay in SMM.
Revision 1.1 89 www.national.com Processor Programming (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series When SMI nesting is disabled, the processor holds off external SMI interrupts until the currently executing SMM code exits. When SMI nesting is enabled, the processor can proceed with the SMI. The SMM service routine will guarantee that no internal SMIs are generated in SMM, so the processor ignores such events. If the internal and external SMI signals are received simultaneously, then the internal SMI is given priority to avoid losing the event. The state diagram of the SMI_NEST and Nested SMI Sta- t u sb i t sa r es h o w ni nF i g u r e3 - 1 1w i t he a c hs t a t e explained next. A. When the processor is outside of SMM, Nested SMI Status is always clear and SMI_NEST is set high. B. The first-level SMI interrupt is received by the processor. The microcode clears SMI_NEST , sets Nested SMI Status high and saves the previous value of Nested SMI Status (0) in the SMM header. C. The first-level SMM service routine saves the header and sets SMI_NEST high to re-enable SMI interrupts from SMM. D. A second-level (nested) SMI interrupt is received by the processor. This SMI is taken even though the processor is in SMM because the SMI_NEST bit is set high. The microcode clears SMI_NEST, sets Nested SMI Status high and saves the previous value of Nested SMI Status (1) in the SMM header. E. The second-level SMM service routine saves the header and sets SMI_NEST to re-enable SMI inter- rupts within SMM. Another level of nesting could occur during this period. F . The second-level SMM service routine clears SMI_NEST to disable SMI interrupts, then restores its SMM header. G. The second-level SMM service routine executes an RSM. The microcode sets SMI_NEST, and restores the Nested SMI Status (1) based on the SMM header. H. The first-level SMM service routine clears SMI_NEST to disable SMI interrupts, then restores its SMM header. I. The first-level SMM service routine executes an RSM. The microcode sets SMI_NEST high and restores the Nested SMI Status (0) based on the SMM header. When the processor is outside of SMM, Nested SMI Sta- tus is always clear and SMI_NEST is set high.

3.7.8.2 CPU States Related to SMM and Suspend
The state diagram shown in Figure 3-12 illustrates the var- ious CPU states associated with SMM and Suspend mode. While in the SMM service routine, the GXLV pro- cessor core can enter Suspend mode either by (1) execut- ing a halt (HLT) instruction or (2) by asserting the SUSP# input. During SMM operations and while in SUSP#-initiated Suspend mode, an occurrence of either NMI or INTR is latched. (In order for INTR to be latched, the IF flag, EFLAGS register bit 9, must be set.) The INTR or NMI is serviced after exiting Suspend mode. If Suspend mode is entered through a HLT instruction from the operating system or application software, the reception of an SMI# interrupt causes the CPU to exit Suspend mode and enter SMM. If Suspend mode is entered through the hardware (SUSP# = 0) while the operating system or application software is active, the CPU latches one occurrence of INTR, NMI, and SMI#. Figure 3-12.

3.8 HALT AND SHUTDOWN
The halt instruction (HLT) stops program execution and generates the Halt bus cycle on the PCI bus. The GXLV processor core then drives out a Stop Grant bus cycle and enters a low-power Suspend mode if the SUSP_HLT bit in CCR2 (Index C2h[3]) is set. SMI#, NMI, INTR with inter- rupts enabled (IF bit in EFLAGS = 1), or RESET forces the CPU out of the halt state. If the halt state is inter- rupted, the saved code segment and instruction pointer specify the instruction following the HLT. Shutdown occurs when a severe error is detected that prevents further processing. The most common severe error is the triple fault, a fault event while handling a dou- ble fault. Setting the IDT limit to zero or the GDT limit to zero will cause a triple fault when in protected mode. A RESET brings the processor out of shutdown. An NMI will work if the IDT limit is large enough, at least 000Fh, to contain the NMI interrupt vector and if the stack has enough room. The stack must be large enough to contain the vector and flag information (the stack pointer must be greater than 0005h).
3.9 PROTECTION
Segment protection and page protection are safeguards built into the GXLV processor’s protected-mode architec- ture that deny unauthorized or incorrect access to selected memory addresses. These safeguards allow multitasking programs to be isolated from each other and from the operating system. This section concentrates on segment protection. Selectors and descriptors are the key elements in the seg- ment protection mechanism. The segment base address, size, and privilege level are established by a segment descriptor. Privilege levels control the use of privileged instructions, I/O instructions and access to segments and segment descriptors. Selectors are used to locate seg- ment descriptors. Segment accesses are divided into two basic types, those involving code segments (e.g., control transfers) and those involving data accesses. The ability of a task to access a segment depends on the: Segment type Instruction requesting access Type of descriptor used to define the segment Associated privilege levels (described next) Data stored in a segment can be accessed only by code executing at the same or a more privileged level. A code segment or procedure can only be called by a task exe- cuting at the same or a less privileged level.
3.9.1 Privilege Levels
The values for privilege levels range between 0 and 3. Level 0 is the highest privilege level (most privileged), and level 3 is the lowest privilege level (least privileged). The privilege level in real mode is zero. The Descriptor Privilege Level(DPL) is the privilege level defined for a segment in the segment descriptor. The DPL field specifies the minimum privilege level needed to access the memory segment pointed to by the descriptor. The Current Privilege Level(CPL) is defined as the cur- rent task’s privilege level. The CPL of an executing task is stored in the hidden portion of the code segment register and essentially is the DPL for the current code segment. The Requested Privilege Level(RPL) specifies a selec- tor’s privilege level. RPL is used to distinguish between the privilege level of a routine actually accessing memory (the CPL), and the privilege level of the original requester (the RPL) of the memory access. The lesser of the RPL and CPL is called the Effective Privilege Level (EPL). There- fore, if RPL = 0 in a segment selector, the EPL is always determined by the CPL. If RPL = 3, the EPL is always 3 regardless of the CPL. If the level requested by RPL is less than the CPL, the RPL level is accepted and the EPL is changed to the RPL value. If the level requested by RPL is greater than CPL, the CPL overrides the requested RPL and EPL becomes the CPL value. For a memory access to succeed, the EPL must be at least as privileged as the Descriptor Privilege Level (EPL ≤ DPL). If the EPL is less privileged than the DPL (EPL > DPL), a general protection fault is generated. For exam- ple, if a segment has a DPL = 2, an instruction accessing the segment only succeeds if executed with an EPL ≤2.
3.9.2 I/O Privilege Levels
The I/O Privilege Level (IOPL) allows the operating sys- tem executing at CPL = 0 to define the least privileged level at which IOPL-sensitive instructions can uncondition- ally be used. The IOPL-sensitive instructions include CLI, IN, OUT, INS, OUTS, REP INS, REP OUTS, and STI. Modification of the IF bit in the EFLAGS register is also sensitive to the I/O privilege level. T h eI O P Li ss t o r e di nt h eE F L A G Sr e g i s t e r( b i t s[ 3 1 : 1 2 ] ) . An I/O permission bit map is available as defined by the 32-bit Task State Segment (TSS). Since each task can have its own TSS, access to individual I/O ports can be granted through separate I/O permission bit maps. If CPL ≤ IOPL, IOPL-sensitive operations can be per- formed. If CPL > IOPL, a general protection fault is gener- ated if the current task is associated with a 16-bit TSS. If the current task is associated with a 32-bit TSS and CPL > IOPL, the CPU consults the I/O permission bitmap in the TSS to determine on a port-by-port basis whether or not I/O instructions (IN, OUT, INS, OUTS, REP INS, REP OUTS) are permitted. The remaining IOPL-sensitive operations generate a general protection fault.

3.9.3 Privilege Level Transfers
At a s k’s CPL can be changed only through intersegment control transfers using gates or task switches to a code segment with a different privilege level. Control transfers result from exception and interrupt servicing and from execution of the CALL, JMP , INT, IRET and RET instruc- tions. There are five types of control transfers that are summa- rized in Table 3-37. Control transfers can be made only when the operation causing the control transfer references the correct descriptor type. Any violation of these descriptor usage rules causes a general protection fault. Any control transfer that changes the CPL within a task results in a change of stack. The initial values for the stack segment (SS) and stack pointer (ESP) for privilege levels 0, 1, and 2 are stored in the TSS. During a JMP or CALL control transfer, the SS and ESP are loaded with the new stack pointer and the previous stack pointer is saved on the new stack. When returning to the original privilege level, the RET or IRET instruction restores the SS and ESP of the less-privileged stack. Table 3-37.

3.9.3.1 Gates
Gate descriptors described in Section“Gate Descriptors” on page 74, provide protection for privilege transfers among executable segments. Gates are used to transition to routines of the same or a more privileged level. Call gates, interrupt gates and trap gates are used for privilege transfers within a task. Task gates are used to transfer between tasks. Gates conform to the standard rules of privilege. In other words, gates can be accessed by a task if the effective privilege level (EPL) is the same or more privileged than the gate descriptor’s privilege level (DPL).
3.9.4 Initialization and Transition to Protected Mode
The GXLV processor core switches to real mode immedi- ately after RESET. While operating in real mode, the sys- tem tables and registers should be initialized. The GDTR and IDTR must point to a valid GDT and IDT, respectively. The size of the IDT should be at least 256 bytes, and the GDT must contain descriptors that describe the initial code and data segments. T h ep r o c e s s o rc a nb ep l a c e di np r o t e c t e dm o d eb ys e t t i n g the PE bit (CR0 register bit 0). After enabling protected mode, the CS register should be loaded and the instruc- tion decode queue should be flushed by executing an intersegment JMP . Finally, all data segment registers should be initialized with appropriate selector values.
3.10 VIRTUAL 8086 MODE
Both real mode and virtual 8086 (V86) modes are sup- ported by the GXLV processor, allowing execution of 8086 application programs and 8086 operating systems. V86 mode allows the execution of 8086-type applications, yet still permits use of the paging and protection mechanisms. V86 tasks run at privilege level 3. Before entry, all seg- ment limits must be set to FFFFh (64K) as in real mode.
3.10.1 Memory Addressing
While in V86 mode, segment registers are used in an identical fashion to real mode. The contents of the Seg- ment register are multiplied by 16 and added to the offset to form the Segment Base Linear Address. The GXLV pro- cessor permits the operating system to select which pro- grams use the V86 address mechanism and which programs use protected mode addressing for each task. The GXLV processor also permits the use of paging when operating in V86 mode. Using paging, the 1 MB address space of the V86 task can be mapped to any region in the 4 GB linear address space. The paging hardware allows multiple V86 tasks to run concurrently, and provides protection and operating sys- tem isolation. The paging hardware must be enabled to run multiple V86 tasks or to relocate the address space of a V86 task to physical address space other than 0.
3.10.2 Protection
All V86 tasks operate with the least amount of privilege (level 3) and are subject to all CPU protected mode protec- tion checks. As a result, any attempt to execute a privi- leged instruction within a V86 task results in a general protection fault. In V86 mode, a slightly different set of instructions are sensitive to the I/O privilege level (IOPL) than in protected mode. These instructions are: CLI, INT n, IRET, POPF , PUSHF , and STI. The INT3, INTO and BOUND variations of the INT instruction are not IOPL sensitive.
3.10.3 Interrupt Handling
To fully support the emulation of an 8086-type machine, interrupts in V86 mode are handled as follows. When an interrupt or exception is serviced in V86 mode, program execution transfers to the interrupt service routine at privi- lege level 0 (i.e., transition from V86 to protected mode occurs). The VM bit in the EFLAGS register (bit 17) is cleared. The protected mode interrupt service routine then determines if the interrupt came from a protected mode or V86 application by examining the VM bit in the EFLAGS image stored on the stack. The interrupt service routine may then choose to allow the 8086 operating sys- tem to handle the interrupt or may emulate the function of the interrupt handler. Following completion of the interrupt service routine, an IRET instruction restores the EFLAGS register (restores VM = 1) and segment selectors and control returns to the interrupted V86 task.
3.10.4 Entering and Leaving Virtual 8086 Mode
V86 mode is entered from protected mode by either exe- cuting an IRET instruction at CPL = 0 or by task switching. If an IRET is used, the stack must contain an EFLAGS image with VM = 1. If a task switch is used, the TSS must contain an EFLAGS image containing a 1 in the VM bit position. The POPF instruction cannot be used to enter V86 mode since the state of the VM bit is not affected. V86 mode can only be exited as the result of an interrupt or exception. The transition out must use a 32-bit trap or interrupt gate that must point to a non-conforming privi- lege level 0 segment (DPL = 0), or a 32-bit TSS. These restrictions are required to permit the trap handler to IRET back to the V86 program.

3.11 FLOATING POINT UNIT OPERATIONS
The GXLV processor contains an FPU that is x87 and MMX instruction-set compatible and adheres to the IEEE- 754 standard. Because most applications that contain FPU instructions intermix with integer instructions, the GXLV processor’s FPU achieves high performance by completing integer and FPU operations in parallel.
3.11.1 FPU Register Set
The FPU provides the user eight data registers, a control register, and a status register. The CPU also provides a data register tag word that improves context switching and stack performance by maintaining empty/non-empty sta- tus for each of the eight data registers. Two additional, registers contain pointers to (a) the memory location con- taining the current instruction word and (b) the memory location containing the operand associated with the cur- rent instruction word (if any).
3.11.2 FPU Tag Word Register
The FPU maintains a tag word register that is divided into eight tag word fields. These fields assume one of four val- ues depending on the contents of their associated data registers: Valid (00), Zero (01), Special (10), and Empty (11). Note: Denormal, Infinity, QNaN, SNaN and unsup- ported formats are tagged as“Special”. Tag values are maintained transparently by the CPU and are only avail- able to the programmer indirectly through the FSTENV and FSAVE instructions. The tag word with TAG fields for each associated physical register, TAG(n), is shown in Table 3- 38.
3.11.3 FPU Status Register
The FPU communicates status information and operation results to the CPU through the FPU status register, whose fields are detailed in Table 3-38. These fields include infor- mation related to exception status, operation execution status, register status, operand class, and comparison results. This register is continuously accessible to the CPU regardless of the state of the Control or Execution Units.
3.11.4 FPU Mode Control Register
The FPU Mode Control Register, shown in Table 3-38, is used by the GXLV processor to specify the operating mode of the FPU. The register fields include information related to the rounding mode selected, the amount of pre- cision to be used in the calculations, and the exception conditions which should be reported to the GXLV proces- sor using traps. The user controls precision, rounding, and exception reporting by setting or clearing appropriate bits.

4.0 Integrated Functions
The integrated functions in the Geode GXLV processor are: Internal bus interface SDRAM memory controller High-performance 2D graphics accelerator Display controller with separate CRT and TFT data paths PCI bridge The design organizes the memory controller, graphics pipeline and display controller into a Unified Memory Architecture (UMA). UMA simplifies system designs and significantly reduces overall system costs associated with high chip count, small footprint designs. Performance deg- radation in traditional UMA systems is reduced through the use of National Semiconductor’s Display Compression Technology (DCT) architecture. Figure 4-1 shows the major functional blocks of the GXLV processor and how the Internal Bus Interface Unit oper- ates as the interface between the processor’s core units and the integrated functions. This section details how the integrated functions and Internal Bus Interface Unit operate and their respective registers. Figure 4-1.

4.1 INTEGRATED FUNCTIONS PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The GXLV processor’s integrated functions programming interface is a memory mapped space. The control regis- ters for the graphics pipeline, display controller, and mem- ory controller are located in this space, as well as all the graphics memory: frame buffer, compression buffer etc. This memory address space is referred to as the GXLV processor memory space.
4.1.1 Graphics Control Register
The base address for these memory mapped registers is programmed in the Graphics Configuration Register (GCR, Index B8h, bits[1:0]), shown in Table 4-1. The GCR only specifies address bits [31:30] of physical memory. The remaining address bits [29:0] are fixed to zero. The GCR is I/O mapped because it must be accessed before memory mapping can be enabled. Refer to Section 3.3.2.2“Configuration Registers”on page 50 for informa- tion on how to access this register. The GXLV processor incorporates graphics functions that require registers to implement and control them. Most of these registers are memory mapped and physically located in the logical units they control. The mapping of these units is controlled by the GCR register. Figure 4-2 shows the complete memory address map for the GXLV processor. When accessing the GXLV proces- sor memory space, address bits [29:24] must be zero. This means that the GXLV processor accesses a linear address space with a total of 16 MB. Address bit 23 divides this space into 8 MB for control (bit 23 = 0) and 8 MB for graphics memory (bit 23 = 1). In control space, bits [22:16] are not decoded, so the programmer should set them to zero. Address bit 15 divides the remaining 64 KB address space into scratchpad RAM and PCI access (bit 15 = 0) and control registers (bit 15 = 1). Note that scratchpad RAM is placed here by programming the tags appropriately. Device drivers are responsible for performing physical-to- virtual memory-address translation, including allocation of selectors that point to the GXLV processor. All memory decoded by the processor may be accessed in protected mode by creating a selector with the physical address equal to the GXLV Base Address which is shown in Table 4-1, and a limit of 16 MB. Additionally, a selector with only a 64 KB limit is large enough to access all of the GXLV processor’s registers and scratchpad RAM. Table 4-1.

4.1.2 Control Registers
The control registers for the GXLV processor use 32 KB of the memory map, starting at GX_BASE+8000h (see Fig- ure 4-2). This area is divided into internal bus interface unit, graphics pipeline, display controller, memory control- ler, and power management sections: The internal bus interface unit maps 100h locations starting at GX_BASE+8000h. The graphics pipeline maps 200h locations starting at GX_BASE+8100h. The display controller maps 100h locations starting at GX_BASE+8300h. The memory controller maps 100h locations starting at GX_BASE+8400h GX_BASE+8500h-8FFFh is dedicated to power management registers for the serial packet transmis- sion control, the user-defined power management address space, Suspend Refresh, and SMI status for Suspend/Resume. The register descriptions are contained in the individual subsections of this chapter. Accesses to undefined regis- ters in the GXLV processor control register space will not cause a hardware error.
4.1.3 Graphics Memory
Graphics memory is allocated from system DRAM by the system BIOS. The GXLV processor’s graphics memory is mapped into 4 MB starting at GX_BASE+800000h. This area includes the frame buffer memory and storage for internal display controller state. The size of the frame buffer is a linear map whose size depends on the user’s requirements (i.e., resolution, color depth, video buffer, compression buffer, font caching, etc.). Frame buffer scan lines are not contiguous in many resolutions, so software that renders to the frame buffer must use a skip count to advance between scan lines. The display controller can use the graphics memory that lies between scan lines for the compression buffer. Accessing graphics memory between the end of a scan line and the start of another can cause display problems. The skip count for all sup- ported resolutions is shown in Table 4-2. The graphics memory size is programmed by setting the graphics memory base address in the memory controller ( s e eT a b l e4 - 1 5o np a g e1 1 3 ) .D i s p l a yd r i v e r sc o m m u n i - cate with system BIOS about resolution changes, to ensure that the correct amount of graphics memory is allocated. Since no mechanism exists to recover system DRAM from the operating system without rebootingwhen a graphics resolution change requires an increased amount of graphics memory, the system must be reboo- ted!

4.1.4 Scratchpad RAM
To improve software performance for specific applications, part of the L1 cache (2, 3, or 4 KB) can be programed to operate as a scratchpad RAM. This scratchpad RAM operates at L1 speed which can speed up time-critical software operations. The scratchpad RAM is taken from set 0 of the L1 cache. Setting aside this RAM makes the L1 cache smaller by the scratchpad RAM size. The scratchpad RAM size is controlled by bits in the GCR reg- ister (Index B8h, bits[3:2]). See T able 4-1 on page 97. The scratchpad RAM is usually memory mapped by BIOS to the upper memory region defined by the GCR register (Index B8h, bits [1:0]). Once enabled, the valid bits for the scratchpad RAM will always be true and the scratchpad RAM locations will never be flushed to external memory. The scratchpad RAM serves as a general purpose high speed RAM and as a BLT buffer for the graphics pipeline.
4.1.4.1 Initialization of Scratchpad RAM
The scratchpad RAM must be initialized before the L1 cache is enabled. T o initialize the scratchpad RAM after a cold boot: 1) Initialize the tags of the scratchpad RAM using the test registers TR4 and TR5 as outlined in Section 3.3.2.4“TLB Test Registers”. The tags are normally programmed with an address value equivalent to GX_BASE (GCR register). 2) Enable the scratchpad RAM to the desired size (GCR register). This action will also lock down the tags. 3) Enable the L1 cache. Section 3.3.2.1“Control Regis- ters”.
4.1.4.2 Scratchpad RAM Utilization
Use of scratchpad RAM by applications and drivers must be tightly controlled. To avoid conflicts, application soft- ware and third-party drivers should generally avoid accesses to the scratchpad RAM area. The scratchpad RAM is used by the graphics pipeline BLT buffers, and National-supplied display drivers and virtualization soft- w a r e .T a b l e4 - 3d e s c r i b e st h e2K B ,3K B ,a n d4K B scratchpad RAM organization used by National developed software. The BLT buffers are programmed using CPU_READ/CPU_WRITE instructions described in Sec- tion 4.1.6 on page 102. If the graphics pipeline or National software is used, and it is desirable to use scratchpad RAM by software other than that supplied by National, please contact your local National Semiconductor techni- cal support representative.
4.1.4.3 BLT Buffer
Address registers, BitBLT, have been added to the front end of the L1 cache to enable the graphics pipeline to directly access a portion of the scratchpad RAM as a BLT buffer. Table 4-4 summarizes these registers. These regis- ters do not have default values and must be initialized before use. Table 4-5 gives the register/bit formats. A 16- byte line buffer dedicated to the graphics pipeline BLT operations has been added to minimize accesses to the L1 cache. When the BLT operation begins, the graphics pipeline generates a 32 bit data BLT request to the L1 cache. This request goes through the BitBLT registers to produce an address into the scratchpad RAM. The L1_BBx_POINTER register automatically increments after each access. A BLT operation generates many accesses to the BLT buffer to complete a BLT transfer. At the end of the BLT operation the graphics pipeline gener- ates a signal to reload the L1_BBx_POINTER register with the L1_BBx_BASE register. This allows the BLT b u f f e rt ob eu s e do v e ra n do v e ra g a i nw i t ham i n i m u mo f software overhead. See Section 4.4“Graphics Pipeline”on page 125 on pro- gramming the graphics pipeline to generate a BLT . Table 4-3. Scratchpad Organization

4.1.5 Display Driver Instructions
While the majority of the GXLV’s integrated function inter- face is memory mapped, a few integrated function regis- ters are accessed via four GXLV specific instructions. Table 4-6 shows these instructions. Adding CPU instructions does not create a compatibility problem for applications that may depend on receiving illegal opcode traps. The solution is to make these instruc- tions generate an illegal opcode trap unless a compatibil- ity bit is explicitly set. The GXLV processor uses the scratchpad size field (bits [3:2] in GCR, Index B8h) to enable or disable all of the graphics instructions. Note: If the scratchpad size bits are zero, meaning that none of the cache is defined as scratchpad, then hardware will assume that the graphics controller is not being used and the graphics instructions will be disabled. Any other scratchpad size will enable all of the new instructions. Note that the base address of the memory map in the GCR register can still be set up to allow access to the memory controller registers
4.1.6 CPU_READ/CPU_WRITE Instructions
The GXLV processor has several internal registers that control the BLT buffer and power management circuitry in the dedicated cache subsystem. To avoid adding addi- tional instructions to read and write these registers, the GXLV processor has a general mechanism to access internal CPU registers with reasonable performance. The GXLV processor has two special instructions to read and write CPU registers: CPU_READ and CPU_WRITE. Both instructions fetch a 32-bit register address fromEBX as s h o w ni nT a b l e4 - 6a n dT a b l e4 - 7.CPU_WRITE uses EAX for the source data, and CPU_READ usesEAX as the destination. Both instructions always transfer 32 bits of data. These instructions work by initiating a special I/O transac- tion where the high address bit is set. This provides a very large address space for internal CPU registers. The BLT buffer base registers define the starting physical addresses of the BLT buffers located within the dedicated L1 cache. The dedicated cache can be configured for up to 4 KB, so 12 address bits are required for each base address. Table 4-6.

4.2 INTERNAL BUS INTERFACE UNIT
The GXLV processor’s internal bus interface unit provides control and interface functions to the C-Bus and X-Bus. The functions on C-Bus include: processor core, FPU, graphics pipeline, and L1 cache. The functions on X-Bus include: PCI controller, display controller, memory control- ler, and graphics accelerator. It provides attribute control for several sections of memory, and plays an important part in the Virtual VGA function. The internal bus interface unit performs functions which previously required the external pins IGNNE# and A20M#. The internal bus interface unit provides configuration con- trol for up to 20 different regions within system memory. This includes a top-of-memory register and 19 config- urable memory regions in the address space between 640 KB and 1 MB. Each region has separate control for read access, write access, cacheability, and external PCI mas- ter access. In support of VGA emulation, three of the memory regions are configurable for use by the graphics pipeline and three I/O ranges can be programmed to generate SMIs.
4.2.1 FPU Error Support
The FERR# (floating point error) and IGNNE# (ignore numeric error) pins of the 486 microprocessor have been replaced with an IRQ13 (interrupt request 13) pin. In DOS systems, FPU errors are reported by the external vector 13. Emulation of this mode of operation is specified by clearing the NE bit (bit 5) in the CR0 register. If the NE bit is active, the IRQ13 output of the GXLV processor is always driven inactive. If the NE bit is cleared, the GXLV processor drives IRQ13 active when the ES bit (bit 7) in the FPU Status Register is set high. Software must respond to this interrupt with an OUT instruction contain- ing an 8-bit operand to F0h or F1h. When the OUT cycle occurs, the IRQ13 pin is driven inactive and the FPU starts ignoring numeric errors. When the ES bit is cleared, the FPU resumes monitoring numeric errors.
4.2.2 A20M Support
The GXLV processor provides an A20M bit in the BC_XMAP_1 Register (GX_BASE+ 8004h[21]) to replace the A20M# pin on the 486 microprocessor. When the A20M bit is set high, all non-SMI accesses will have address bit 20 forced to zero. External hardware must do an SMI trap on I/O locations that toggle the A20M# pin. The SMI software can then change the A20M bit as desired. This will maintain compatibility with software that depends on wrapping the address at bit 20.
4.2.3 SMI Generation
The Internal Bus Interface Unit can generate SMI inter- rupts whenever an I/O cycle is in the VGA address ranges of 3B0h to 3BFh, 3C0h to 3CFh and/or 3D0h to 3DFh. If an external VGA card is present, the Internal Bus Inter- face reset values will not generate an interrupt on VGA accesses. (Refer to Section 4.6.3“VGA Configuration Registers”on page 162 for instructions on how to config- ure the registers to enable the SMI interrupt.) 4.2.4 640 KB to 1 MB Region There are 19 configurable memory regions located between 640 KB and 1 MB. Three of the regions, A0000h to AFFFFh, B0000h to B7FFFh, and B8000h to BFFFFh, are typically used by the graphics subsystem in VGA emu- lation mode. Each of the these regions has a VGA control bit that can cause the graphics pipeline to handle accesses to that section of memory (see T able 4-37 on page 163). The area between C0000h and FFFFFh is divided into 16 KB segments to form the remaining 16 regions. All 19 regions have four control bits to allow any combination of read-access, write-access, cache, and external PCI Bus Master access capabilities (see Table 4- 10 on page 106).

If this bit is cleared, then write operations in this region are directed to the PCI master. 0 Read Enable:Read operations to this region of memory are allowed if this bit is set high. If this bit is cleared then read operations in this region are directed to the PCI master. Note: If Cache Enable = 1 and Write Enable = 1, the Write Enable determination occurs after the data has passed the cache. Since the cache does write update, write data will change the cache if the address is cached. If a read then occurs to that address, the data will come from the written data that is in the cache even though the address is not writable. If this must be avoided then do not make the region cacheable.

4.3 MEMORY CONTROLLER
The memory controller arbitrates requests from the X-Bus (processor and PCI), display controller, and graphics pipe- line. The GXLV processor supports LVTTL (low voltage TTL) technology. LVTTL technology allows the SDRAM inter- face of the memory controller to run at frequencies up to 100 MHz. The SDRAM clock is a function of the core clock. The SDRAM bus can be run at speeds that range between 66 MHz and 100 MHz. The core clock can be divided down from 2 to 5 in half clock increments to generate the SDRAM clock. SDRAM frequencies between 79 MHz and
100 MHz are only supported for certain types of closed
systems and strict design rules must be adhered to. For further details, contact your local National Semiconductor technical support representative. A basic block diagram of the memory controller is shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3.

4.3.1 Memory Array Configuration
The memory controller supports up to four 64-bit SDRAM banks, with maximum of eight physical devices per bank. Banks 0:1 and 2:3 must be identical configurations. T wo 168-pin unbuffered SDRAM modules (DIMM) satisfy these requirements Though the following discussion is DIMM centric, DIMMs are not a system requirement. Each DIMM receives a unique set of RAS, CAS, WE, and CKE lines. Each DIMM can have one or two 64-bit DIMM banks. Each DIMM bank is selected by a unique chip select (CS). There are four chip select signals to choose between a total of four DIMM banks. Each DIMM bank also receives a unique SDCLK. Each DIMM bank can have two or four component banks. Component bank selection is done through the bank address (BA) lines. For example, 16-Mbit SDRAM have two component banks and 64-Mbit SDRAM have two or four component banks. For single DIMM bank modules, the memory controller can support two DIMMS with a maximum of eight compo- nent banks. For dual DIMM bank modules, the memory controller can support two DIMMs with a maximum of 16 c o m p o n e n tb a n k s .U pt o1 6b a n k sc a nb eo p e na tt h e same time. Refer to the SDRAM manufacturer’ss p e c i f i c a - tion for more information on component banks. Figure 4-4.

4.3.3 SDRAM Commands
This subsection discusses the SDRAM commands sup- ported by the memory controller. Table 4-12 summarizes these commands followed by detailed operational infor- mation regarding each command. Refer to SDRAM device specifications available from SDRAM manufacturer’sf o r more detailed information. MRS — The Mode Register command defines the specific mode of operation of the SDRAM. This definition includes the selection of burst length, burst type, and CAS latency. CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the reg- istration of a read command and the availability of the first piece of output data. The burst length is programmed by address bits MA[2:0], the burst type by address bit MA3 and the CAS latency by address bits MA[6:4]. The memory controller only supports a burst length of two and burst type of interleave. The field value on MA[12:0] and BA[1:0] during the MRS c y c l ea r ea ss h o w ni nT a b l e4 - 1 3 . PRE — The precharge command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular component bank or the open row in all (2 or 4, device dependent) component banks. Address pin MA10 determines whether one or all compo- nent banks are to be precharged. In the case where only one component bank is to be precharged, BA[1:0] selects which bank. Once a component bank has been pre- charged, it is in the Idle state and must be activated prior to any read or write commands. Table 4-12.

Revision 1.1 111 www.national.com Integrated Functions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series ACT — The activate command is used to open a row in a particular bank for a subsequent access. The value on the BA lines selects the bank, and the address on the MA lines selects the row. This row remains open for accesses until a precharge command is issued to that bank. A pre- charge command must be issued before opening a differ- ent row in the same bank. WRT — T h ew r i t ec o m m a n di su s e dt oi n i t i a t eab u r s t w r i t ea c c e s st oa na c t i v er o w .T h ev a l u eo nt h eB Al i n e s select the component bank, and the address provided by the MA lines select the starting column location. The memory controller does not perform auto precharge dur- ing write operations. This leaves the page open for subse- quent accesses. Data appearing on the MD lines is written to the DQM logic level appearing coincident with the data. If the DQM signal is registered low, the corre- sponding data will be written to memory. If the DQM is driven high, the corresponding data will be ignored, and a write will not be executed to that location. READ — The read command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The value on the BA lines select the component bank, and the address provided by the MA lines select the starting column location. The memory controller does not perform auto precharge dur- ing read operations. Valid data-out from the starting col- umn address is available following the CAS latency after the read command. The DQM signals are asserted low during read operations. RFSH — Auto refresh is used during normal operation and is analogous to the CAS-before-RAS (CBR) refresh in conventional DRAMs. During auto refresh the address bits are“don’tc a r e”. The memory controller precharges all banks prior to an auto refresh cycle. Auto refresh cycles are issued approximately 15 µs apart. The self refresh command is used to retain data in the SDRAMs even when the rest of the system is powered down. The self refresh command is similar to an auto refresh command except CKE is disabled (low). The memory controller issues a self refresh command during 3V Suspend mode when all the internal clocks are stopped.
4.3.3.1 SDRAM Initialization Sequence
After the clocks have started and stabilized, the memory controller SDRAM initialization sequence begins: 1) Precharge all component banks 2) Perform eight refresh cycles 3) Perform an MRS cycle 4) Perform eight refresh cycles This sequence is compatible with the majority of SDRAMs available from the various vendors.

4.3.5 Address Translation
The memory controller supports two address translations depending on the method used to interleave pages. The hardware automatically enables high order interleaving. Low order interleaving is automatically enabled only under specific memory configurations.
4.3.5.1 High Order Interleaving
High Order Interleaving (HOI) uses the most significant address bits to select which bank the page is located in. This interleaving scheme works with any mixture of DIMM types. However, it spreads the pages over wide address ranges. For example, two 8 MB DIMMs contain a total of four component pages. Two pages are together in one DIMM separated from the other two pages by 8 MB.
4.3.5.2 Auto Low Order Interleaving
The memory controller requires that banks 0:1 if both installed, be identical and banks 2:1 if both installed, be identical. When banks 0:1 are installed or banks 2,3 are installed Auto Low Order Interleaving (LOI) is in effect for those bank pairs. Therefore each DIMM (banks 0:1 or 2:3) must have the same number of DIMM banks, component banks, module sizes and page sizes. LOI uses the least significant bits after the page bits to select which bank the page is located in. This requires that memory is a power of 2, that the number of banks is a power of 2, and that the page sizes are the same. As stated before, for LOI to work, the DIMMs have to be of the same type. LOI does give a good benefit by providing a moving page throughout memory. Using the same example as above, two banks would be on one DIMM and the next two banks would be on the second DIMM, but they would be linear in address space. For an eight bank system that has 1 KB address (8 KB data) pages, there would be an effective moving page of 64 KB of data.
4.3.5.3 Physical Address to DRAM Address
Tables 4-16 and 4-17 give Auto LOI address conversion examples when two DIMMs of the same size are used in a system. Table 4-16 shows a one DIMM bank conversion example, while Table 4-17 shows a two DIMM bank exam- ple. Tables 4-18 and 4-19 give Non-Auto LOI address conver- sion examples when either one or two DIMMs of different s i z e sa r eu s e di nas y s t e m .T a b l e4 - 1 8s h o w sao n eD I M M bank address conversion example, while T able 4-19 shows a two DIMM bank example. The addresses are computed on a per DIMM basis. Since the DRAM interface is 64 bits wide, the lower three bits of the physical address get mapped onto the DQM[7:0] lines. Thus, the address conversion tables (Tables 4-16 through 4-19) show the physical address starting from A3.

All the control, data, and address signals driven by the memory controller are sam- pled by the SDRAM at the rising edge of SDCLK. SDCLK- OUT is a reference signal used to generate SDCLKIN. Read data is sampled by the memory controller at the ris- ing edge of SDCLKIN. The delay for SDCLKIN from SDCLKOUT must be designed so that it lags the SDCLKs at the DRAM by approximately 1 ns (check application notes for additional information). The delay should also include the SDCLK transmission line delay. All four SDCLK traces on the board should be the same length, so there is no skew between them. These guidelines allow the memory inter- face to operate at a higher performance. Figure 4-9.

4.4 GRAPHICS PIPELINE
The graphics pipeline of the GXLV processor contains a 2D graphics accelerator. This hardware accelerator has a BitBLT/vector engine which dramatically improves graph- ics performance when rendering and moving graphical objects. Overall operating system performance is improved as well. The accelerator hardware supports pat- tern generation, source expansion, pattern/source trans- parency, and 256 ternary raster operations. The block diagram of the graphics pipeline is shown in Figure 4-11.
4.4.1 BitBLT/Vector Engine
BLTs are initiated by writing to the GP_BLT_MODE regis- t e r ,w h i c hs p e c i f i e st h et y p eo fs o u r c ed a t a( n o n e ,f r a m e buffer, or BLT buffer), the type of the destination data (none, frame buffer, or BLT buffer), and a source expan- sion flag. Vectors are initiated by writing to the GP_VECTOR_MODE register (GX_BASE+8204h), which specifies the direction of the vector and a“read destina- tion data” flag. If the flag is set, the hardware will read destination data along the vector and store it temporarily in the BLT Buffer 0. The BLT buffers use a portion of the L1 cache, called “scratchpad RAM”, to temporarily store source and desti- nation data, typically on a scan line basis. See Section 4.1.4.2“Scratchpad RAM Utilization”for an explanation of scratchpad RAM. The hardware automatically loads frame-buffer data (source or destination) into the BLT buff- ers for each scan line. The driver is responsible for making sure that this does not overflow the memory allocated for the BLT buffers. When the source data is a bitmap, the hardware loads the data directly into the BLT buffer at the beginning of the BLT operation. Figure 4-11.

4.4.2 Master/Slave Registers
When starting a BitBLT or vector operation, the graphics pipeline registers are latched from the master registers to the slave registers. A second BitBLT or vector operation can then be loaded into the master registers while the first operation is rendered. If a second BLT is pending in the master registers, any write operations to the graphics pipeline registers will corrupt the values of the pending BLT. Software must prevent this from happening by check- ing the“BLT Pending”bit in the GP_BLT_STATUS register (GX_BASE+820Ch[2]). Most of the graphics pipeline registers are latched directly from the master registers to the slave registers when starting a new BitBLT or vector operation. Some registers, however, use the updated slave values if the master regis- ters have not been written, which allows software to ren- der successive primitives without loading some of the registers as outlined in Table 4-20.
4.4.3 Pattern Generation
The graphics pipeline contains hardware support for 8x8 monochrome patterns (expanded to two colors), 8x8 dither patterns (expanded to four colors), and 8x1 color patterns. The pattern hardware, however, does not main- tain a pattern origin, so the pattern data must be justified before it is loaded into the GXLV processor’sr e g i s t e r s .F o r solid primitives, the pattern hardware is disabled and the pattern color is always sourced from the GP_PAT_COLOR_0 register (GX_BASE+8110h). Table 4-20. Graphics Pipeline Registers Master Function GP_DST_XCOOR Next X position along vector. Master register if written, otherwise: Unchanged slave if BLT , source mode = bitmap. Slave + width if BLT, source mode = text glyph GP_DST_YCOOR Next Y position along vector. Master register if written, otherwise: Slave +/- height if BLT, source mode = bitmap. Unchanged slave if BLT , source mode = text glyph. GP_INIT_ERROR Master register if written, otherwise: Initial error for the next pixel along the vector. GP_SRC_YCOOR Master register if written, otherwise: Slave +/- height if BLT, source mode = bitmap.

4.4.3.1 Monochrome Patterns
Setting the pattern mode to 01b (GX_BASE+8200h[9:8] = 01b) in the GP_RASTER_MODE register selects the monochrome patterns (see bit details on page 131). Those pixels corresponding to a clear bit (0) in the pattern are rendered using the color specified in the GP_PAT_COLOR_0 (GX_BASE+8110h ) register, and those pixels corresponding to a set bit (1) in the pattern are rendered using the color specified in the GP_PAT_COLOR_1 register (GX_BASE+8112h). If the pattern transparency bit is set high in the GP_RASTER_MODE register, those pixels corresponding to a clear bit in the pattern data are not drawn. Monochrome patterns use registers GP_PAT_DATA_0 (GX_BASE+ Memory Offset 8120h) and GP_PAT_DATA_1 (GX_BASE+ memory Offset 8124h) for the pattern data. Bits [7:0] of GP_PAT_DATA_0 corre- spond to the first row of the pattern, and bit 7 corresponds to the leftmost pixel on the screen. How the pattern and the registers fully relate is illustrated in Figure 4-12. Figure 4-12. Example of Monochrome Patterns
4.4.3.2 Dither Patterns
Setting the pattern mode to 10b (GX_BASE+8200h[9:8] = 10b) in the GP_RASTER_MODE register selects the dither patterns. T wo bits of pattern data are used for each pixel, allowing color expansion to four colors. The colors are specified in the GP_PAT_COLOR_0 through GP_PAT_COLOR_3 registers (Table 4-24 on page 130). Dither patterns use all 128 bits of pattern data. Bits [15:0] of GP_PAT_DATA_0 correspond to the first row of the pat- tern (the lower byte contains the least significant bit of each pixel’s pattern color and the upper byte contains the most significant bit of each pixel’s pattern color). This is illustrated in Figure 4-13. Figure 4-13. Example of Dither Patterns GP_PAT_DATA_0 (GPD0) = 0x80412214 GP_PAT_DATA_1 (GPD1) = 0x08142241 GPD0[7:0] GPD0[15:8] GPD0[23:16] GPD0[31:24] GPD1[7:0] GPD1[15:8] GPD1[23:16] GPD1[31:24] 00AA 4411 00AA 1155 00AA 4411 00AA 1155 GP_PAT_DATA_0 (GPD0) = 0x441100AA GP_PAT_DATA_1 (GPD1) = 0x115500AA GP_PAT_DATA_2 (GPD2) = 0x441100AA GP_PAT_DATA_3 (GPD3) = 0x115500AA GPD0[15:0] GPD0[31:16] GPD1[15:0] GPD1[31:16] GPD2[15:0] GPD2[31:16] GPD3[15:0] GPD3[31:16] 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1111 00 0000 00 1 1010 0 10 AA 10 10

4.4.3.3 Color Patterns
Setting the pattern mode to 11b (GX_BASE+8200h[9:8] = 11b), in the GP_RASTER_MODE register selects the color patterns. Bits [63:0] are used to hold a row of pattern data for an 8-bpp pattern, with bits [7:0] corresponding to the leftmost pixel of the row. Likewise, bits [127:0] are used for a 16-bpp color pattern, with bits [15:0] corre- sponding to the leftmost pixel of the row. To support an 8x8 color pattern, software must load the pattern data for each row.
4.4.4 Source Expansion
The graphics pipeline contains hardware support for color expansion of source data (primarily used for text). Those pixels corresponding to a clear bit (0) in the source data are rendered using the color specified in the GP_SRC_COLOR_0 register (GX_BASE+810Ch), and those pixels corresponding to a set bit (1) in the source data are rendered using the color specified in the GP_SRC_COLOR_1 register (GX_BASE+810Eh). If the source transparency bit is set in the GP_RASTER_MODE register, those pixels corresponding to a clear bit (0) in the source data are not drawn.
4.4.5 Raster Operations
The GP_RASTER_MODE register specifies how the pat- tern data, source data (color-expanded if necessary), and destination data are combined to produce the output to the frame buffer. The definition of the ROP value matches that of the Microsoft API (application programming inter- face). This allows Windows display drivers to load the ras- ter operation directly into hardware. Table 4-21 illustrates this definition. Some common raster operations are described in Table 4-22. Table 4-21. GP_RASTER_MODE Bit Patterns Pattern (bit) Source (bit) Destination (bit) Output (bit) 00 0R O P [ 0 ] 00 1R O P [ 1 ] 01 0R O P [ 2 ] 01 1R O P [ 3 ] 10 0R O P [ 4 ] 10 1R O P [ 5 ] 11 0R O P [ 6 ] 11 1R O P [ 7 ] Table 4-22.

4.5 DISPLAY CONTROLLER
The GXLV processor incorporates a display controller that retrieves display data from the memory controller and for- mats it for output on a variety of display devices. The GXLV processor connects directly to the graphics Geode I/O companion. The display controller includes a display FIFO, compression/decompression (codec) hardware, hardware cursor, a 256-entry-by-18-bit palette RAM (plus three extension colors), display timing generator, dither and frame-rate-modulation circuitry for TFT panels, and versatile output formatting logic. A diagram of the display controller subsystem is shown in Figure 4-14. Figure 4-14.

Revision 1.1 135 www.national.com Integrated Functions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series
4.5.1 Display FIFO
The display controller contains a large (64x64 bit) FIFO for queuing up display data from the memory controller as required for output to the screen. The memory controller must arbitrate between display controller requests and other requests for memory access from the microproces- sor core, L1 cache controller, and the graphics pipeline. D i s p l a yd a t ai sr e q u i r e di nr e a lt i m e ,m a k i n gi tt h eh i g h e s t priority in the system. Without efficient memory manage- ment, system performance would suffer dramatically due to the constant display-refresh requests from the display controller. The large size of the display FIFO is desirable so that the FIFO may primarily be loaded during times when there is no other request pending to the DRAM con- troller which allows the memory controller to stay in page mode for a longer period of time when servicing the dis- play FIFO. When a priority request from the cache or graphics pipeline occurs, if the display FIFO has enough data queued up, the DRAM controller can immediately service the request without concern that the display FIFO will underflow. If the display FIFO is below a programma- ble threshold, a high-priority request will be sent to the DRAM controller, which will take precedence over any other requests that are pending. The display FIFO is 64 bits wide to accommodate high- speed burst read operations from the DRAM controller at maximum memory bandwidth. In addition to the normal pixel data stream, the display FIFO also queues up cursor patterns.
4.5.2 Compression Technology
To reduce the system memory contention caused by the display refresh, the display controller contains compres- sion and decompression logic for compressing the frame buffer image in real time as it is sent to the display. It com- bines this compressed display buffer into the extra off- screen memory within the graphics memory aperture. Coherency of the compressed display buffer is maintained by use of dirty and valid bits for each line. The dirty and valid RAM is contained on-chip for maximum efficiency. Whenever a line has been validly compressed, it will be retrieved from the compressed display buffer for all future accesses until the line becomes dirty again. Dirty lines will be retrieved from the normal uncompressed frame buffer. The compression logic has the ability to insert a program- mable number of "static" frames, during which time dirty bits are ignored and the valid bits are read to determine whether a line should be retrieved from the frame buffer or compressed display buffer. The less frequently the dirty bits are sampled, the more frequently lines will be retrieved from the compressed display buffer. This allows a programmable screen image update rate (as opposed to refresh rate). Generally, an update rate of 30 frames per second is adequate for displaying most types of data, including real-time video. If a flat panel display is used that has a slow response time, such as 100 ms, the image need not be updated faster than ten frames per second, since the panel could not display changes beyond that rate. The compression algorithm used in the GXLV processor commonly achieves compression ratios between 10:1 and 20:1, depending on the nature of the display data. This high level of compression provides higher system perfor- mance by reducing typical latency for normal system memory access, higher graphics performance by increas- ing available drawing bandwidth to the DRAM array, and much lower power consumption by significantly reducing the number of off-chip DRAM accesses required for refreshing the display. These advantages become even more pronounced as display resolution, color depth, and refresh rate are increased and as the size of the installed DRAM increases. As uncompressed lines are fed to the display, they will be compressed and stored in an on-chip compressed line buffer (64x32 bits). Lines will not be written back to the compressed display buffer in the DRAM unless a valid compression has resulted, so there is no penalty for pathological frame buffer images where the compression algorithm breaks down.

4.5.3 Hardware Cursor
The display controller contains hardware cursor logic to allow overlay of the cursor image onto the pixel data stream. Overhead for updating this image on the screen is kept to a minimum by requiring that only the X and Y posi- tion be changed. This eliminates "submarining" effects commonly associated with software cursors. The cursor, 32x32 pixels with 2-bpp, is loaded into off-screen memory within the graphics memory aperture. The DC_CUR_ST_OFFSET programs the cursor start (see Table 4-30 on page 148). The 2-bit code selects color 0, color 1, transparent, or background-color inversion for each pixel in the cursor. The two cursor colors will be stored as extensions to the normal 256-entry palette at locations 100h and 101h. The 2-bit cursor codes are as follows: AND XOR Displayed 0 0 Cursor Color 0 0 1 Cursor Color 1 1 0 Transparent − Background Pixel 11I n v e r t e d − Bit-wise Inversion of Back- ground Pixel The cursor overlay patterns are loaded to independent memory locations, usually mapped above the frame buffer and compressed display buffer (off-screen). The cursor buffer must start on a DWORD boundary. It is linearly mapped, and is always 256 bytes in size. If there is enough room (256 bytes) after the compression-buffer line but before the next frame-buffer line starts, the cursor pat- tern may be loaded into this area to make efficient use of the graphics memory. Each pattern is a 32x32-pixel array of 2-bit codes. The codes are a combination of AND mask and XOR mask for a particular pixel. Each line of an overlay pattern is stored as two DWORDs, with each DWORD containing the AND masks for 16 pixels in the upper word and the XOR masks for 16 pixels in the lower word. DWORDs are arranged with the leftmost pixel block being least significant and the rightmost pixel block being most significant. Pixels within words are arranged with the leftmost pixels being most significant and the rightmost pixels being least significant. Multiple cursor patterns may be loaded into the off-screen memory. An application may simply change the cursor start offset to select a new cursor pattern. The new cursor pattern will become effective at the start of the next frame scan.
4.5.4 Display Timing Generator
The display controller features a fully programmable tim- ing generator for generating all timing control signals for the display. The timing control signals include horizontal and vertical sync and blank signals in addition to timing for active and overscan regions of the display. The timing generator is similar in function to the CRTC of the original VGA, although programming is more straightforward. Pro- gramming of the timing registers are supported by National via a BIOS INT10 call during a mode set. When programming the timing registers directly, extreme care should be taken to ensure that all timing is compatible with the display device. The timing generator supports overscan to maintain full backward compatibility with the VGA standard. This fea- ture is supported primarily for CRT display devices since flat panel displays have fixed resolutions and do not pro- vide for overscan. When a display mode is selected hav- ing a lower resolution than the panel resolution, the GXLV processor supports a mechanism to center the display by stretching the border to fill the remainder of the screen. The border color is at palette extension 104h.
4.5.5 Dither and Frame Rate Modulation
The display controller supports 2x2 dither and two-level frame rate modulation (FRM) to increase the apparent number of colors displayed on 9-bit or 12-bit TFT panels. Dither and FRM are individually programmable. With dith- ering and FRM enabled, 185,193 colors are possible on a 9-bit TFT panel, and 226,981 colors are possible on a 12- bit TFT panel.
4.5.6 Display Modes
The GXLV processor’s display controller is programmable and supports resolutions up to 1024x768 at 16 bits per pixel and resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 8 bits per pixel. This means the GXLV processor supports the standard display resolutions of 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 display resolutions at both 8 and 16 bits per pixel and 1280x1024 resolution at 8 bits per pixel only. Two 16-bit display formats are supported: RGB 5-6-5 and RGB 5-5- 5. T able 4-26 lists how the RGB data is mapped onto the pixel data bus for the CRT and various TFT interfaces. All CRT modes can have VESA-compatible timing. Table 4- 25 lists some of the supported TFT panel display modes and T able 4-27 lists some of the supported CRT display modes.

4.5.7 Graphics Memory Map
The GXLV processor supports a maximum of 4 MB of graphics memory and will map it to an address space (see Figure 4-2 on page 98) higher than the maximum amount of installed RAM. The graphics memory aperture physi- cally resides at the top of the installed system RAM. The start address and size of the graphics memory aperture are programmable on 512 KB boundaries. Typically, the system BIOS sets the size and start address of the graph- ics memory aperture during the boot process based on the amount of installed RAM, user defined CMOS set- tings, hard coded, etc. The graphics pipeline and display controller address the graphics memory with a 20-bit off- set (address bits [21:2]) and four byte enables into the graphics memory aperture. The graphics memory stores several buffers that are used to generate the display: the frame buffer, compressed display buffer, VGA memory, and cursor pattern(s). Any remaining off-screen memory within the graphics aperture may be used by the display driver as desired or not at all.
4.5.7.1 DC Memory Organization Registers
The display controller contains a number of registers that allow full programmability of the graphics memory organi- zation. This includes starting offsets for each of the buffer regions described above, line delta parameters for the frame buffer and compression buffer, as well as com- pressed line-buffer size information. The starting offsets for the various buffers are programmable for a high degree of flexibility in memory organization.
4.5.7.2 Frame Buffer and Compression Buffer Orga-
The GXLV processor supports primary display modes 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 at both 8-bpp and 16- bpp, and 1280x1024 at 8-bpp. Pixels are packed into DWORDs as shown in Figure 4-15. In order to simplify address calculations by the rendering hardware, the frame buffer is organized in an XY fashion where the offset is simply a concatenation of the X and Y pixel addresses. All 8-bpp display modes with the excep- tion of the 1280x1024 resolution will use a 1024-byte line delta between the starting offsets of adjacent lines. All 16- bpp display modes and 1280x1024x8-bpp display modes will use a 2048-byte line delta between the starting offsets of adjacent lines. If there is room, the space between the end of a line and the start of the next line will be filled with the compressed display data for that line, thus allowing efficient memory utilization. For 1024x768 display modes, t h ef r a m e - b u f f e rl i n es i z ei st h es a m ea st h el i n ed e l t a ,s o no room is left for the compressed display data between lines. In this case, the compressed display buffer begins at the end of the frame buffer region and is linearly mapped. Figure 4-15.

4.5.7.3 VGA Display Support
The graphics pipeline contains full hardware support for t h eV G Af r o n te n d .T h eV G Ad a t ai ss t o r e di na2 5 6K B buffer located in graphics memory. The main task for Vir- tual VGA (see Section 4.6“Virtual VGA Subsystem” on page 157) is converting the data in the VGA buffer to an 8- bpp frame buffer that can be displayed by the display con- troller. For some modes, the display controller can display the VGA data directly and the data conversion is not neces- sary. This includes standard VGA mode 13h and the vari- ations of that mode used in several games; the display controller can also directly display VGA planar graphics modes D, E, F , 10, 11, and 12. Likewise, the hardware can directly display all of the higher-resolution VESA modes. Since the frame buffer data is written directly to memory instead of travelling across an external bus, the GXLV pro- cessor often outperforms VGA cards for these modes. The display controller, however, does not directly support text modes. SoftVGA must convert the characters and attributes in the VGA buffer to an 8-bpp frame buffer image the hardware uses for display refresh.
4.5.8 Display Controller Registers
The Display Controller maps 100h memory locations starting at GX_BASE+8300h for the display controller reg- isters. Refer to Section 4.1.2“Control Registers”on page 99 for instructions on accessing these registers. The Display Controller Registers are divided into six cate- gories: Configuration and Status Registers Memory Organization Registers Timing Registers Cursor and Line Compare Registers Color Registers Palette and RAM Diagnostic Registers Table 4-28 summarizes these registers and locations, and the following subsections give detailed register/bit for- mats.

4.5.8.1 Configuration and Status Registers
The Configuration and Status Registers group consists of four 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8300h-830Ch. These registers are described below and Table 4-29 gives their bit formats. Table 4-29. Display Controller Configuration and Status Registers Bit Name Description GX_BASE+8300h-8303h DC_UNLOCK Register (R/W) Default Value = 00000000h 31:16 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 15:0 UNLOCK_ CODE Unlock Code:This register must be written with the value 4758h in order to write to the protected regis- ters. The following registers are protected by the locking mechanism. Writing any other value enables the write lock function.

31 DDCK Divide Dot Clock:Divide internal DCLK by two relative to PCLK:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.
30 DPCK Divide Pixel Clock:Divide PCLK by two relative to internal DCLK:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. 29 VRDY Video Ready Protocol:0 = Low speed video port: 1 = High speed video port. Always program to 1. 28 VIDE Video Enable:Motion video port: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. 27 SSLC Split-screen Line Compare:VGA line compare function: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. When enabled, the internal line counter will be compared to the value programmed in the DC_SS _LINE_CMP register. If it matches, the frame buffer address will be reset to zero. This enables a split screen function. 26 CH4S Chain 4 Skip:Allow display controller to read every 4th DWORD from the frame buffer for compatibility with the VGA: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.
25 DIAG FIFO Diagnostic Mode:This bit allows testability of the on-chip Display FIFO and Compressed Line
Buffer via the diagnostic access registers. A low-to-high transition will reset the Display FIFO’s R/W point- ers and the Compressed Line Buffer’s read pointer. 0 = Normal operation; 1 = Enable. 24 LDBL Line Double:Allow line doubling for emulated VGA modes: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. If enabled, this will cause each odd line to be replicated from the previous line as the data is sent to the dis- play. Timing parameters should be programmed as if pixel doubling is not used, however, the frame buffer should be loaded with half the normal number of lines. 23:19 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 18 FDTY Frame Dirty Mode:Allow entire frame to be flagged as dirty whenever a pixel write occurs to the frame buffer (this is provided for modes that use a linearly mapped frame buffer for which the line delta is not equal to 1024 or 2048 bytes): 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. When disabled, dirty bits are set according to the Y address of the pixel write. 17 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 16 CMPI Compressor Insert Mode:Insert one static frame between update frames: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. An update frame is a frame in which dirty lines are updated. Conversely, a static frame is a frame in which dirty lines are not updated (the display image may not actually be static, because lines that are not com- pressed successfully must be retrieved from the uncompressed frame buffer). 15:12 DFIFO HI-PRI END LVL Display FIFO High Priority End Level:This field specifies the depth of the display FIFO (in 64-bit entries x 4) at which a high-priority request previously issued to the memory controller will end. The value is dependent upon display mode. This register should always be non-zero and should be larger than the start level.

The value is dependent upon display mode. This register should always be nonzero and should be less than the high-priority end level. 7:6 DCLK_ MUL DCLK Multiplier:This 2-bit field specifies the clock multiplier for the input DCLK pin. After the input clock is optionally multiplied, the internal DCLK and PCLK may be divided as necessary. 00 = Forced Low 01 = DCLK ÷ 2 10 = DCLK 11 = 2 x DCLK 5D E C E Decompression Enable:Allow operation of internal decompression hardware: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. 4C M P E Compression Enable:Allow operation of internal compression hardware: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable 3P P C Pixel Panning Compatibility:This bit has the same function as that found in the VGA. Allow pixel alignment to change when crossing a split-screen boundary - it will force the pixel alignment to be 16-byte aligned: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. If disabled, the previous alignment will be preserved when crossing a split-screen boundary. 2D V C K Divide Video Clock:Selects frequency of VID_CLK pin: 0 = VID_CLK pin frequency is equal to one-half (½ ) the frequency of the core clock. 1 = VID_CLK pin frequency is equal to one-fourth (¼ ) the frequency of the core clock. Note: Bit 28 (VIDE) must be set to 1 for this bit to be valid. 1 CURE Cursor Enable:Use internal hardware cursor: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. 0D F L E Display FIFO Load Enable:Allow the display FIFO to be loaded from memory: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. If disabled, no write or read operations will occur to the display FIFO. If enabled, a flat panel should be powered down prior to setting this bit low. Similarly, if active, a CRT should be blanked prior to setting this bit low. GX_BASE+8308h-830Bh DC_TIMING_CFG Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxx00000h

15 PXDB Pixel Double:Allow pixel doubling to stretch the displayed image in the horizontal dimension:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. If bit 15 is enabled, timing parameters should be programmed as if no pixel doubling is used, however, the frame buffer should be loaded with half the normal pixels per line. Also, the FB_LINE_SIZE parameter in DC_BUF_SIZE should be set for the number of bytes to be transferred for the line rather than the number displayed.
14 INTL Interlace Scan:Allow interlaced scan mode:
0 = Disable (Non-interlaced scanning is supported.) 1 = Enable (If a flat panel is attached, it should be powered down before setting this bit.) 13 PLNR VGA Planar Mode: This bit must be set high for all VGA planar display modes. 12 FCEN Flat Panel Center:Allows the border and active portions of a scan line to be qualified as“active”t oaf l a t panel display via the ENADISP signal. This allows the use of a large border region for centering the flat panel display. 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. When disabled, only the normal active portion of the scan line will be qualified as active.

If enabled, the hardware cursor will blink as well as any pixels. This is provided to maintain compatibility with VGA text modes. The blink rate is determined by the bit 16 (BKRT). 6V I E N Vertical Interrupt Enable:Generate a vertical interrupt on the occurrence of the next vertical sync pulse: 0 = Disable, vertical interrupt is cleared; 1 = Enable. This bit is provided to maintain backward compatibility with the VGA. 5T G E N Timing Generator Enable:Allow timing generator to generate the timing control signals for the display. 0 = Disable, the Timing Registers may be reprogrammed, and all circuitry operating on the DCLK will be reset. 1 = Enable, no write operations are permitted to the Timing Registers. 4 DDCK DDC Clock: This bit is used to provide the serial clock for reading the DDC data pin. This bit is multiplexed onto the CRT_VSYNC pin, but in order for it to have an effect, the VSYE bit[2] must be set low to disable the normal vertical sync. Software should then pulse this bit high and low to clock data into the GXLV pro- cessor. This feature is provided to allow support for the VESA Display Data Channel standard level DDC1. 3B L K E Blank Enable:Allow generation of the composite blank signal to the display device: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. When disabled, the ENA_DISP output will be a static low level. This allows VESA DPMS compliance.
2 HSYE Horizontal Sync Enable:Allow generation of the horizontal sync signal to a CRT display device:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable. When disabled, the HSYNC output will be a static low level. This allows VESA DPMS compliance.

4.5.9 Memory Organization Registers
The GXLV processor utilizes a graphics memory aperture that is up to 4 MB in size. The base address of the graph- ics memory aperture is stored in the DRAM controller Graphics Base Address register (see GBADD of MC_GBASE_ADD register, Table 4-15 on page 116 ). The graphics memory is made up of the normal uncom- pressed frame buffer, compressed display buffer, and cur- sor buffer. Each buffer begins at a programmable offset within the graphics memory aperture. T h ev a r i o u sm e m o r yb u f f e r sa r ea r r a n g e ds oa st oe f f i - ciently pack the data within the graphics memory aper- ture. The arrangement is programmable to efficiently accommodate different display modes. The cursor buffer is a linear block so addressing is straightforward. The frame buffer and compressed display buffer are arranged based upon scan lines. Each scan line has a maximum number of valid or active DWORDs, and a delta, which when added to the previous line offset, points to the next line. In this way, the buffers may either be stored as linear blocks, or as logical blocks as desired. The Memory Organization Registers group consists of six 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8310h-8328h. These registers are summarized in Table 4-28 on page 141, and T able 4-30 gives their bit formats. Table 4-30. Display Controller Memory Organization Registers Bit Name Description GX_BASE+8310h-8313h DC_FB_ST_OFFSET Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:22 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 21:0 FB_START _OFFSET Frame Buffer Start Offset:This value represents the byte offset from the Graphics Base Address regis- ter (see GBADD of MC_GBASE_ADD register in Table 4-15 on page 116) of the starting location of the displayed frame buffer. This value may be changed to achieve panning across a virtual desktop or to allow multiple buffering. When this register is programmed to a nonzero value, the compression logic should be disabled. The memory address defined by bits [21:4] will take effect at the start of the next frame scan. The pixel offset defined by bits [3:0] will take effect immediately (in general, it should only change during vertical blank- ing). GX_BASE+8314h-8317h DC_CB_ST_OFFSET Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:22 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 21:0 CB_START _OFFSET Compressed Display Buffer Start Offset:This value represents the byte offset from the Graphics Base Address register (see GBADD of MC_GBASE_ADD register in Table 4-15 on page 116) of the starting location of the compressed display buffer. Bits [3:0] must be programmed to zero so that the start offset is aligned to a 16-byte boundary. This value should change only when a new display mode is set due to a change in size of the frame buffer. GX_BASE+8318h-831Bh DC_CUR_ST_OFFSET Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:22 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 21:0 CUR_START _OFFSET Cursor Start Offset:This register contains the byte offset from the Graphics Base Address register (see GBADD of MC_GBASE_ADD register in Table 4-15 on page 116) of the starting location of the cursor display pattern. Bits [1:0] should always be programmed to zero so that the start offset is DWORD aligned. The cursor data will be stored as a linear block of data.

It is used to detect an overflow of the compressed data FIFO. It should never be larger than 41h since the maximum size of the compressed data FIFO is 64 DWORDs. 8:0 FB_LINE_ SIZE F r a m eB u f f e rL i n eS i z e :This value specifies the number of QWORDS (8-byte segments) to transfer for each display line from the frame buffer. If panning is enabled, this value can generally be programmed to the displayed number of QWORDS + 2 so that enough data is transferred to handle any possible alignment. Extra pixel data in the FIFO at the end of a line will automatically be discarded. GX_BASE+832Ch-832Fh Reserved Default Value = 00000000h Table 4-30.

4.5.10 Timing Registers
The Display Controller’s timing registers control the gener- ation of sync, blanking, and active display regions. They provide complete flexibility in interfacing to both CRT and flat panel displays. These registers will generally be pro- grammed by the BIOS from an INT 10h call or by the extended mode driver from a display timing file. Note that the horizontal timing parameters are specified in character clocks, which actually means pixels divided by 8, since all characters are bit mapped. For interlaced display the ver- tical counter will be incremented twice during each display line, so vertical timing parameters should be programmed with reference to the total frame rather than a single field. The Timing Registers group consists of six 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8330h-834Ch. These registers are summarized in Table 4-28 on page 141, and Table 4-31 gives their bit formats. Table 4-31. Display Controller Timing Registers Bit Name Description GX_BASE+8330h-8333h DC_H_TIMING_1 Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:27 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 26:19 H_TOTAL Horizontal Total:The total number of character clocks for a given scan line minus 1. Note that the value is necessarily greater than the H_ACTIVE field because it includes border pixels and blanked pixels. For flat panels, this value will never change. The field [26:16] may be programmed with the pixel count minus 1, although bits [18:16] are ignored. The horizontal total is programmable on 8- pixel boundaries only. 18:16 IGRD Ignored 15:11 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 10:3 H_ACTIVE Horizontal Active:The total number of character clocks for the displayed portion of a scan line minus 1. The field [10:0] may be programmed with the pixel count minus 1, although bits [2:0] are ignored. The active count is programmable on 8-pixel boundaries only. Note that for flat panels, if this value is less than the panel active horizontal resolution (H_PANEL), the parameters H_BLANK_START, H_BLANK_END, H_SYNC_START, and H_SYNC_END should be reduced by the value of H_ADJUST (or the value of H_PANEL - H_ACTIVE / 2)to achieve horizontal centering. 2:0 IGRD Ignored Note: For simultaneous CRT and flat panel display the H_ACTIVE and H_TOTAL parameters pertain to both.

The blank end position is programmable on 8-pixel boundaries only. 18:16 IGRD Ignored 15:11 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 10:3 H_BLK_START Horizontal Blank Start:The character clock count at which the horizontal blanking signal becomes active minus 1. The field [10:0] may be programmed with the pixel count minus 1, although bits [2:0] are ignored. The blank start position is programmable on 8-pixel boundaries only. 2:0 IGRD Ignored Note: A minimum of four character clocks are required for the horizontal blanking portion of a line in order for the timing generator to function correctly. GX_BASE+8338h-833Bh DC_H_TIMING_3 Register (R/W) (Locked) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:27 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 26:19 H_SYNC_END Horizontal Sync End:The character clock count at which the CRT horizontal sync signal becomes inactive minus 1. The field [26:16] may be programmed with the pixel count minus 1, although bits [18:16] are ignored. The sync end position is programmable on 8-pixel boundaries only. 18:16 IGRD Ignored 15:11 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 10:3 H_SYNC_START Horizontal Sync Start:The character clock count at which the CRT horizontal sync signal becomes active minus 1.

The sync start position is programmable on 8-pixel boundaries only. 2:0 IGRD Ignored Note: This register should also be programmed appropriately for flat panel only display since the horizontal sync transition deter- mines when to advance the vertical counter.

Note: These values are specified in pixels rather than character clocks to allow precise control over sync position. For flat panels which combine two pixels per panel clock, these values should be odd numbers (even pixel boundary) to guarantee that the sync signal will meet proper setup and hold times.

The value is necessarily greater than the V_ACTIVE field because it includes border lines and blanked lines. If the display is interlaced, the total number of lines must be odd, so this value should be an even number. 15:11 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 10:0 V_ACTIVE Vertical Active:The total number of lines for the displayed portion of a frame scan minus 1. For flat panels, if this value is less than the panel active vertical resolution (V_PANEL), the parameters V_BLANK_START, V_BLANK_END, V_SYNC_START, and V_SYNC_END should be reduced by the following value (V_ADJUST) to achieve vertical centering: V_ADJUST = (V_PANEL– V_ACTIVE) / 2 If the display is interlaced, the number of active lines should be even, so this value should be an odd number.

4.5.11 Cursor Position and Miscellaneous Registers
The Cursor Position Registers contain pixel coordinate information for the cursor. These values are not latched by the timing generator until the start of the frame to avoid tearing artifacts when moving the cursor. The Cursor Position group consists of two 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8350h and GX_BASE+8358h. These registers are summarized in Table 4-28 on page 141, and T able 4-32 gives their bit formats. Table 4-32.

Normally, this value is set to zero to display the entire cursor pattern, but for cursors for which the "hot spot" is not at the left edge of the pattern, it may be necessary to display the rightmost pixels of the cursor only as the cursor moves close to the left edge of the display. 10:0 CURSOR_X Cursor X:The X coordinate of the pixel at which the upper left corner of the cursor is to be displayed. This value is referenced to the screen origin (0,0) which is the pixel in the upper left corner of the screen. GX_BASE+8354h-8357h DC_V_LINE_CNT Register (RO) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:11 RSVD Reserved (Read Only) 10:0 V_LINE_CNT (RO) Vertical Line Count (Read Only):This value is the current scanline of the display. Note: The value in this register is driven directly off of the DCLK, and is not synchronized with the CPU clock. Software should read this register twice and compare the two results to ensure that the value is not in transition. GX_BASE+8358h-835Bh DC_CURSOR_Y Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:16 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 15:11 Y_OFFSET Y Offset:The Y line offset within the 32x32 cursor pattern at which the displayed portion of the cursor is to begin. Normally, this value is set to zero to display the entire cursor pattern, but for cursors for which the "hot spot" is not at the top edge of the pattern, it may be necessary to display the bottommost lines of the cursor only as the cursor moves close to the top edge of the display. I f this value is nonzero, the CUR_START_OFFSET must be set to point to the first cursor line to be displayed. 10 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 9:0 CURSOR_Y Cursor Y:The Y coordinate of the line at which the upper left corner of the cursor is to be displayed. This value is referenced to the screen origin (0,0) which is the pixel in the upper left corner of the screen. This field is alternately used as the line-compare value for a newly-programmed frame buffer start off- set. This is necessary for VGA programs that change the start offset in the middle of a frame. In order to use this function, the hardware cursor function should be disabled. GX_BASE+835Ch-835Fh DC_SS_LINE_CMP Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:11 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 10:0 SS_LINE_CMP Split-Screen Line Compare:This is the line count at which the lower screen begins in a VGA split- screen mode. Note: When the internal line counter hits this value, the frame buffer address is reset to 0. This function is enabled with the SSLC bit in the DC_GENERAL_CFG register (see Table 4-29).

4.5.12 Palette Access Registers
These registers are used for accessing the internal palette RAM and extensions. In addition to the standard 256 entries for 8-bpp color translation, the GXLV processor palette has extensions for cursor colors and overscan (border) color. The Palette Access Register group consists of two 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8370h and GX_BASE+8374h. These registers are summarized in Table 4-28 on page 141, and T able 4-33 gives their bit for- mats. Table 4-33. Display Controller Palette Bit Name Description GX_BASE+8370h-8373h DC_PAL_ADDRESS Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:9 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 8:0 PALETTE_ADDR Palette Address:The address to be used for the next access to the DC_PAL_DATA register. Each access to the data register will automatically increment the palette address register. If non-sequen- tial access is made to the palette, the address register must be loaded between each non-sequential data block. The address ranges are as follows. Address Color 0h - FFh Standard Palette Colors 100h Cursor Color 0 101h Cursor Color 1 102h Reserved 103h Reserved 104h Overscan (Color Border) 105h - 1FFh Not Valid GX_BASE+8374h-8377h DC_PAL_DATA Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:18 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 17:0 PALETTE_DATA Palette Data:The read or write data for a palette access. Note: When a read or write to the palette RAM occurs, the previous output value will be held for one additional DCLK period. This effect should go unnoticed and will provide for sparkle-free update. Prior to a read or write to this register, the DC_PAL_ADDRESS register should be loaded with the appropriate address. The address automatically increments after each access to this register, so for sequential access, the address register need only be loaded once

4.5.13 FIFO Diagnostic Registers
The FIFO Diagnostic Register group consists of two 32-bit registers located at GX_BASE+8378h and GX_BASE+837Ch. These registers are summarized in Table 4-28 on page 141, and T able 4-33 gives their bit for- mats Table 4-34. FIFO Diagnostic Registers Bit Name Description GX_BASE+8378h-837Bh DC_DFIFO_DIAG Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:0 DISPLAY FIFO DIAGNOSTIC DATA Display FIFO Diagnostic Read or Write Data:Before this register is accessed, the DIAG bit in DC_GENERAL_CFG register (see Table 4-29 on page 144) should be set high and the DFLE bit should be set low. Since, each FIFO entry is 64 bits, an even number of write operations should be performed. Each pair of write operations will cause the FIFO write pointer to increment automati- cally. After all write operations have been performed, a single read of don't care data should be per- formed to load data into the output latch. Each subsequent read will contain the appropriate data which was previously written. Each pair of read operations will cause the FIFO read pointer to incre- ment automatically. A pause of at least four core clocks should be allowed between subsequent read operations to allow adequate time for the shift to take place. GX_BASE+837Ch-837Fh DC_CFIFO_DIAG Register (R/W) Default Value = xxxxxxxxh 31:0 COMPRESSED FIFO DIAGNOS- TIC DATA Compressed Data FIFO Diagnostic Read or Write Data:Before this register is accessed, the DIAG bit in DC_GENERAL_CFG (see Table 4-29 on page 144) register should be set high and the DFLE bit should be set low. Also, the DIAG bit in DC_OUTPUT_CFG (see Table 4-29) should be set high and the CFRW bit in DC_OUTPUT_CFG should be set low. After each write, the FIFO write pointer will automatically increment. After all write operations have been performed, the CFRW bit of DC_OUTPUT_CFG should be set high to enable read addresses to the FIFO and a single read of don't care data should be performed to load data into the output latch. Each subsequent read will contain the appropriate data which was previously written. After each read, the FIFO read pointer will automatically increment.

4.6 VIRTUAL VGA SUBSYSTEM
This section describes the Virtual System Architecture as implemented with the Geode GXLV processor(s) and VSA enhanced Geode I/O companion device(s). VSA provides a framework to enable software implementation of tradi- tionally hardware-only components. VSA software exe- cutes in System Management Mode (SMM), enabling it to execute transparently to the operating system, drivers and applications. The VSA design is based on a simple model for replacing hardware components with software. Hardware to be vir- tualized is merely replaced with simple access detection circuitry which asserts the processor’s SMI# pin when hardware accesses are detected. The current execution stream is immediately preempted, and the processor enters SMM. The SMM system software then saves the processor state, initializes the VSA execution environ- ment, decodes the SMI source and dispatches handler routines which have registered requests to service the decoded SMI source. Once all handler routines have com- pleted, the processor state is restored and normal execu- tion resumes. In this manner, hardware accesses are transparently replaced with the execution of SMM handler software. Historically, SMM software was used primarily for the sin- gle purpose of facilitating active power management for notebook designs. That software’so n l yf u n c t i o nw a st o manage the power up and down of devices to save power. With high performance processors now available, it is fea- sible to implement, primarily in SMM software, PC capa- bilities traditionally provided by hardware. In contrast to power management code, this virtualization software gen- erally has strict performance requirements to prevent application performance from being significantly impacted. Several functions can be virtualized in a GXLV processor based design using the VSA environment. The VSA enhanced Geode I/O companions provide programmable resources to trap both memory and I/O accesses. How- ever, specific hardware is included to support the virtual- ization of VGA core compatibility and audio functionality in the system. The hardware support for VGA emulation resides com- pletely inside the GXLV processor. Legacy VGA accesses do not generate off-chip bus cycles. However, the VSA support hardware for XpressAUDIO resides in an I/O Companion device such as the Geode CS5530.
4.6.1 Traditional VGA Hardware
A VGA card consists of display memory and control regis- ters. The VGA display memory shows up in system mem- ory between addresses A0000h and BFFFFh. It is possible to map this memory to three different ranges within this 128 KB block. T h ef i r s tr a n g ei s - A0000h to AFFFFh for EGA and VGA modes, the second range is - B0000h to B7FFFh for MDA modes, and the third range is - B8000h to BFFFFh for CGA modes. The VGA control registers are mapped to the I/O address range from 3B0h to 3DFh. The VGA registers are a c c e s s e dw i t ha ni n d e x i n gs c h e m et h a tp r o v i d e sm o r e registers than would normally fit into this range. Some registers are mapped at two locations, one for mono- chrome, and another for color. The VGA hardware can be accessed by calling BIOS rou- tines or by directly writing to VGA memory and control registers. DOS always calls BIOS to set up the display mode and render characters. Many other applications access the VGA memory and control registers directly. The VGA card can be set up to a virtually unlimited num- ber of modes. However, many applications use one of the predefined modes specified by the BIOS routine which sets up the display mode. The predefined modes are translated into specific VGA control register setups by the BIOS. The standard modes supported by VGA cards are shown in Table 4-35. Table 4-35.

www.national.com 158 Revision 1.1 Integrated Functions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series A VGA is made up of several functional units. The frame bufferis 256 KB of memory that provides data for the video display. It is organized as 64 K 32-bit DWORDs. The sequencer decomposes word and DWORD CPU accesses into byte operations for the graphics controller. It also controls a number of miscellaneous functions, including reset and some clocking controls. The graphics controllerprovides most of the interface between CPU data and the frame buffer. It allows the programmer to read and write frame buffer data in different formats. Plus provides ROP (raster operation) and masking functions. The CRT controllerprovides video timing signals and address generation for video refresh. It also provides a text cursor. The attribute controllercontains the video refresh datapath, including text rasterization and palette lookup. The general registersprovide status information for the programmer as well as control over VGA-host address mapping and clock selection. This is all handled in hardware by the graphics pipeline. It is important to understand that a VGA is constructed of numerous independent functions. Most of the register fields correspond to controls that were originally built out of discrete logic or were part of a dedicated controller such as the 6845. The notion of a VGA“mode ”is a higher- level convention to denote a particular set of values for the registers. Many popular programs do not use standard modes, preferring instead to produce their own VGA set- ups that are optimal for their purposes.
4.6.1.1 VGA Memory Organization
The VGA memory is organized as 64K 32-bit DWORDs. This organization is usually presented as four 64 KB “planes”. A plane consists of one byte out of every DWORD. Thus, plane 0 refers to the least significant byte from every one of the 64K DWORDs. The addressing granularity of this memory is a DWORD, not a byte; that is, consecutive addresses refer to consecutive DWORDs. The only provision for byte-granularity addressing is the four-byte enable signals used for writes. In C parlance, single_plane_byte = (dword_fb[address] >> (plane * 8)) & 0xFF; When dealing with VGA, it is important to recognize the distinction between host addresses, frame buffer addresses, and the refresh address pipe. A VGA control- ler contains a lot of hardware to translate between these address spaces in different ways, and understanding these translations is critical to understanding the entire device. In standard four-plane graphics modes, a frame- buffer DWORD provides eight 4-bit pixels. The left-most pixel comes from bit 7 of each plane, with plane 3 provid- ing the most significant bit. pixel[i].bit[j] = dword_fb[address].bit[i*8 + (7-j)]
4.6.1.2 VGA Front End
The VGA front end consists of address and data transla- tions between the CPU and the frame buffer. This func- tionality is contained within the graphics controller and sequencer components. Most of the front end functionality is implemented in the VGA read and write hardware of the GXLV processor. An important axiom of the VGA is that the front end and back end are controlled independently. There are no register fields that control the behavior of both pieces. Terms like“VGA odd/even mode”are there- fore somewhat misleading; there are two different controls for odd/even functionality in the front end, and two sepa- rate controls in the refresh path to cause“sensible” refresh behavior for frame buffer contents written in odd/even mode. Normally, all these fields would be set up together, but they don’t have to be. This sort of orthogonal behavior gives rise to the enormous number of possible VGA “modes ”. The CPU end of the read and write pipe- lines is one byte wide. Word and DWORD accesses from the CPU to VGA memory are broken down into multiple byte accesses by the sequencer. For example, a word write to A0000h (in a VGA graphics mode) is processed as if it were two-byte write operations to A0000h and A0001h.
4.6.1.3 Address Mapping
When a VGA card sees an address on the host bus, bits [31:15] determine whether the transaction is for the VGA. Depending on the mode, addresses 000AXXXX, 000B{0xxx}XXX, or 000B{1xxx}XXX can decode into VGA space. If the access is for the VGA, bits [15:0] provide the DWORD address into the frame buffer (see odd/even and Chain 4 modes, next paragraph). Thus, each byte address on the host bus addresses a DWORD in VGA memory. On a write transaction, the byte enables are normally driven from the sequencer’s MapMask register. The VGA has two other write address mappings that modify this behavior. In odd/even (Chain 2) write mode, bit 0 of the address is used to enable bytes 0 and 2 (if zero) or bytes 1 and 3 (if one). In addition, the address presented to the frame buffer has bit 0 replaced with the PageBit field of the Miscellaneous Output register. Chain 4 write mode is similar; only one of the four byte enables is asserted, based on bits [1:0] of the address, and bits [1:0] of the frame buffer address are set to zero. In each of these modes, the MapMask enables are logically ANDed into the enables that result from the address.

4.6.1.4 Video Refresh
VGA refresh is controlled by two units: the CRT controller (CRTC) and the attribute controller (ATTR). The CRTC provides refresh addresses and video control; the ATTR provides the refresh datapath, including pixel formatting and internal palette lookup. The VGA back end contains two basic clocks: the dot clock (or pixel clock) and the character clock. The Clock- Select field of the Miscellaneous Output register selects a “master clock” of either 25 MHz or 28 MHz. This master clock, optionally divided by two, drives the dot clock. The character clock is simply the dot clock divided by eight or nine. The VGA supports four basic pixel formats. Using text for- mat, the VGA interprets frame buffer values as ASCII characters, foreground/background attributes, and font data. The other three formats are all“graphics modes”, known as APA (All Points Addressable) modes. These for- mats could be called CGA-compatible (odd/even 4-bpp), EGA-compatible (4-plane 4-bpp), and VGA-compatible (pixel-per-byte 8-bpp). The format is chosen by the ShiftRegister field of the Graphics Controller Mode regis- ter. The refresh address pipe is an integral part of the CRTC, and has many configuration options. Refresh can begin at any frame buffer address. The display width and the frame buffer pitch (scan-line delta) are set separately. Multiple scan lines can be refreshed from the same frame buffer addresses. The LineCompare register causes the refresh address to be reset to zero at a particular scan line, pro- viding support for vertical split-screen. W i t h i nt h ec o n t e x to fas i n g l es c a nl i n e ,t h er e f r e s h address increments by one on every character clock. Before being presented to the frame buffer, refresh addresses can be shifted by 0, 1, or 2 bits to the left. These options are often mis-named BYTE, WORD, and DWORD modes. Using this shifter, the refresh unit can be programmed to skip one out of two or three out of four DWORDs of refresh data. As an example of the utility of this function, consider Chain 4 mode, described in Section 4.6.1.3“Address Mapping”on page 158. Pixels written in Chain 4 mode occupy one out of every four DWORDs in the frame buffer. If the refresh path is put into“Double- word” mode, the refresh will come only from those DWORDs writable in Chain 4. This is how VGA mode 13h works. In text mode, the ATTR has a lot of work to do. At each character clock, it pulls a DWORD of data out of the frame b u f f e r .I nt h a tD W O R D ,p l a n e0c o n t a i n st h eA S C I Ic h a r - acter code, and plane 1 contains an attribute byte. The ATTR uses plane 0 to generate a font lookup address and read another DWORD. In plane 2, this DWORD contains a bit-per-pixel representation of one scan line in the appro- priate character glyph. The ATTR transforms these bits into eight pixels, obtaining foreground and background colors from the attribute byte. The CRTC must refresh from the same memory addresses for all scan lines that make up a character row; within that row, the ATTR must f e t c hs u c c e s s i v es c a nl i n e sf r o mt h eg l y p ht a b l es oa st o draw proper characters. Graphics modes are somewhat simpler. In CGA-compatible mode, a DWORD provides eight pixels. The first four pixels come from planes 0 and 2; each 4-bit pixel gets bits [3:2] from plane 2, and bits [1:0] from plane 0. The remaining four pixels come from planes 1 and 3. The EGA-compatible mode also gets eight pixels from a DWORD, but each pixel gets one bit from each plane, with plane 3 providing bit 3. Finally, VGA-compatible mode gets four pixels from each DWORD; plane 0 provides the first pixel, plane 1 the next, and so on. The 8 bpp mode uses an option to provide every pixel for two dot clocks, thus allowing the refresh pipe to keep up (it only increments on character clocks) and meaning that the 320-pixel-wide mode 13h really has 640 visible pixels per line. The VGA color model is unusual. The ATTR contains a 16-entry color palette with 6 bits per entry. Except for 8 bpp modes, all VGA configu- rations drive four bits of pixel data into the palette, which produces a 6-bit result. Based on various control regis- ters, this value is then combined with other register con- tents to produce an 8-bit index into the DAC. There is a ColorPlaneEnable register to mask bits out of the pixel data before it goes to the palette; this is used to emulate four-color CGA modes by ignoring the top two bits of each pixel. In 8 bpp modes, the palette is bypassed and the pixel data goes directly to the DAC.
4.6.1.5 VGA Video BIOS
The video BIOS supports the VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) Version 1.2 and 2.0, as well as all standard VGA BIOS calls. It interacts with Virtual VGA through the use of several extended VGA registers. These are virtual regis- ters contained in the VSA code for Virtual VGA. (These registers are defined in a separate document.)
4.6.2 Virtual VGA
The GXLV processor reduces the burden of legacy hard- ware by using a balanced mix of hardware and software to provide the same functionality. The graphics pipeline con- tains full hardware support for the VGA“front-end”,t h e logic that controls read and write operations to the VGA frame buffer (located in graphics memory). For some modes, the hardware can also provide direct display of the data in the VGA buffer. Virtual VGA traps frame buffer accesses only when necessary, but it must trap all VGA I/O accesses to maintain the VGA state and properly pro- gram the graphics pipeline and display controller. The processor core contains SMI generation hardware for VGA memory write operations. The bus controller con- tains SMI generation hardware for VGA I/O read and write operations. The graphics pipeline contains hardware to detect and process reads and writes to VGA memory. VGA memory is partitioned from system memory. VGA functionality with the GXLV processor includes the standard VGA modes (VGA, EGA, CGA, and MDA) as well as the higher-resolution VESA modes. The CGA and MDA modes (modes 0 through 7) require that Virtual VGA

The remaining modes, VGA, EGA, and VESA, can be dis- played directly by the hardware, with no data conversion required. For these modes, Virtual VGA often outperforms typical VGA cards because the frame buffer data does not travel across an external bus. Display drivers for popular GUI (graphical user interface) based operating systems are provided by National Semi- conductor which enable a full featured 2D hardware accel- erator to be used instead of the emulated VGA core.
4.6.2.1 Datapath Elements
The graphics controller contains several elements that convert between host data and frame buffer data. The rotator simply rotates the byte written from the host b y0t o7b i t st ot h er i g h t ,b a s e do nt h eR o t a t e C o u n tf i e l d of the DataRotate register. It has no effect in the read path. The display latch is a 32-bit register that is loaded on every read access to the frame buffer. All 32 bits of the frame buffer DWORDs are loaded into the latch. The write-mode unitconverts a byte from the host into a 32-bit value. A VGA has four write modes: Write Mode 0: - B i tno fb y t ebc o m e sf r o mo n eo ft w op l a c e s , depending on bit b of the EnableSetReset register. If that bit is zero, it comes from bit n of the host data. If that bit is one, it comes from bit b of the SetReset register. This mode allows the programmer to set some planes from the host data and the others from SetReset. Write Mode 1: - All 32 bits come directly out of the display latch; the host data is ignored. This mode is used for screen- to-screen copies. Write Mode 2: - Bit n of byte b comes from bit b of the host data; that is, the four LSBs of the host data are each replicated through a byte of the result. In conjunction with the BitMask register, this mode allows the programmer to directly write a 4-bit color to one or more pixels. Write Mode 3: - Bit n of byte b comes from bit b of the SetReset register. The host data is ANDed with the BitMask register to provide the bit mask for the write (see below). The read mode unit converts a 32-bit value from the frame buffer into a byte. A VGA has two read modes: Read Mode 0: - One of the four bytes from the frame buffer is returned, based on the value of the ReadMapSelect register. In Chain 4 mode, bits [1:0] of the read address select a plane. In odd/even read mode, bit 0 of the read address replaces bit 0 of ReadMapSe- lect. Read Mode 1: - Bit n of the result is set to 1 if bit n in every byte b matches bit b of the ColorCompare register; other- wise it is set to 0. There is a ColorDon’tCare register that can exclude planes from this comparison. In four-plane graphics modes, this provides a conver- sion from 4 bpp to 1 bpp. The ALU is a simple two-operand ROP unit that operates on writes. Its operating modes are COPY , AND, OR, and XOR. The 32-bit inputs are: 1) the output of the write-mode unit and 2) the display latch (not necessarily the value at the frame buffer address of the write). An application that wishes to perform ROPs on the source and destination must first byte read the address (to load the latch) and then immediately write a byte to the same address. The ALU has no effect in Write Mode 1. T h eb i tm a s ku n i td o e sn o tp r o v i d eat r u eb i tm a s k . Instead, it selects between the ALU output and the display latch. The mask is an 8-bit value, and bit n of the mask makes the selection for bit n of all four bytes of the result (a zero selects the latch). No bit masking occurs in Write Mode 1. The VGA hardware of the GXLV processor does not implement Write Mode 1 directly, but it can be indirectly implemented by setting the BitMask to zero and the ALU mode to COPY . This is done by the SMM code so there are no compatibility issues with applications.
4.6.2.2 GXLV VGA Hardware
The GXLV processor core contains hardware to detect VGA accesses and generate SMI interrupts. The graphics pipeline contains hardware to detect and process reads and writes to VGA memory. The VGA memory on the GXLV processor is partitioned from system memory. The GXLV processor has the following hardware components to assist the VGA emulation software. SMI Generation VGA Range Detection VGA Sequencer VGA Write/Read Path VGA Address Generator VGA Memory
Revision 1.1 161 www.national.com Integrated Functions (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series
4.6.2.3 SMI Generation
VGA emulation software is notified of VGA memory accesses by an SMI generated in dedicated circuitry in the processor core that detects and traps memory accesses. The SMI generation hardware for VGA memory addresses is in the second stage of instruction decoding on the processor core. This is the earliest stage of instruc- tion decode where virtual addresses have been translated to physical addresses. Trapping after the execution stage is impractical, because memory write buffering will allow subsequent instructions to execute. The VGA emulation code requires the SMI to be gener- ated immediately when a VGA access occurs. The SMI generation hardware can optionally exclude areas of VGA memory, based on a 32-bit register which has a control bit for each 2 KB region of the VGA memory window. The control bit determines whether or not an SMI interrupt is generated for the corresponding region. The purpose of this hardware is to allow the VGA emulation software to disable SMI interrupts in VGA memory regions that are not currently displayed. For direct display modes (8 bpp or 16 bpp) in the display controller, Virtual VGA can operate without SMI genera- tion. The SMI generation circuit on the GXLV processor has configuration registers to control and mask SMI interrupts in the VGA memory space.
4.6.2.4 VGA Range Detection
The VGA range detection circuit is similar to the SMI gen- eration hardware, however, it resides in the internal bus interface address mapping unit. The purpose of this hard- ware is to notify the graphics pipeline when accesses to the VGA memory range A0000h to BFFFFh are detected. The graphics pipeline has VGA read and write path hard- ware to process VGA memory accesses. The VGA range detection can be configured to trap VGA memory accesses in one or more of the following ranges: A0000h to AFFFFh (EGA,VGA), B0000h to B7FFFh (MDA), or B8000h to BFFFFh (CGA).
4.6.2.5 VGA Sequencer
The VGA sequencer is located at the front end of the graphics pipeline. The purpose of the VGA sequencer is to divide up multiple-byte read and write operations into a sequence of single-byte read and write operations. 16-bit or 32-bit X-bus write operations to VGA memory are divided into 8-bit write operations and sent to the VGA write path. 16-bit or 32-bit X-bus read operations from VGA memory are accumulated from 8-bit read operations over the VGA read path. The sequencer generates the lower two bits of the address.
4.6.2.6 VGA Write/Read Path
The VGA write path implements standard VGA write oper- ations into VGA memory. No SMI is generated for write path operations when the VGA access is not displayed. When the VGA access is displayed, an SMI is generated so that the SMI emulation can update the frame buffer. The VGA write path converts 8-bit write operations from the sequencer into 32-bit VGA memory write operations. The operations performed by the VGA write path include data rotation, raster operation (ALU), bit masking, plane select, plane enable, and write modes. The VGA read path implements standard VGA read oper- ations from VGA memory. No SMI is needed for read-path operations. The VGA read path converts 32-bit read oper- ations from VGA memory to 8-bit data back to the sequencer. The basic operations performed by the VGA read path include color compare, plane-read select, and read modes.
4.6.2.7 VGA Address Generator
The VGA address generator translates VGA memory addresses up to the address where the VGA memory resides on the GXLV processor. The VGA address gener- ator requires the address from the VGA access (A0000h to BFFFFh), the base of the VGA memory on the GXLV processor, and various control bits. The control bits are necessary because addressing is complicated by odd/even and Chain 4 addressing modes.
4.6.2.8 VGA Memory
The VGA memory requires 256 KB of memory organized as 64 KB by 32 bits. The VGA memory is implemented as part of system memory. The GXLV processor partitions system memory into two areas, normal system memory and graphics memory. System memory is mapped to the normal physical address of the DRAM, starting at zero and ending at memory size. Graphics memory is mapped into high physical memory, contiguous to the registers and dedicated cache of the GXLV processor. The graphics memory includes the frame buffer, compression buffer, cursor memory, and VGA memory. The VGA memory is mapped on a 256 KB boundary to simplify the address generation

4.6.3 VGA Configuration Registers
SMI generation can be configured to trap VGA memory accesses in one of the following ranges: A0000h to AFFFFh (EGA,VGA), B0000h to B7FFFh (MDA), or B8000h to BFFFFh (CGA). Range selection is accomplished through programmable bits in the VGACTL register (Index B9h). Fine control can be exercised within the range selected to allow off-screen accesses to occur without generating SMIs. SMI generation can also separately control the following I/O ranges: 3B0h to 3BFh, 3C0h to 3CFh, and 3D0h to 3DFh. The BC_XMAP_1 register (GX_BASE+8004h) in the Internal Bus Interface Unit has an enable/disable bit for each of the address ranges above. The VGA control register (VGACTL) provides control for SMI generation through an enable bit for memory address ranges A0000h to BFFFFh. Each bit controls whether or not SMI is generated for accesses to the corresponding address range. The default value of this register is zero so that VGA accesses will not be trapped on systems with an external VGA card. The VGA Mask register (VGAM) has 32 bits that can selectively mask 2 KB regions within the VGA memory region A0000h to AFFFFh. If none of the three regions is enabled in VGACTL, then the contents of VGAM are i g n o r e d .V G A Mc a nb eu s e dt op r e v e n tt h eo c c u r r e n c eo f SMI when non-displayed VGA memory is accessed. This is an enhancement that improves performance for double- buffered applications only.

4.7.4 Generating Configuration Cycles
Configuration space is a physical address space unique to PCI. Configuration Mechanism #1 must be used by soft- ware to generate configuration cycles. Two DWORD I/O locations are used in this mechanism. The first DWORD location (CF8h) references a read/write register that is named CONFIG_ADDRESS. The second DWORD address (CFCh) references a register named CONFIG_DATA. The general method for accessing con- figuration space is to write a value into CONFIG_ADDRESS that specifies a PCI bus, a device on that bus, and a configuration register in that device being accessed. A read or write to CONFIG_DATA will then cause the bridge to translate that CONFIG_ADDRESS value to the requested configuration cycle on the PCI bus.
4.7.5 Generating Special Cycles
A special cycle is a broadcast message to the PCI bus. Two hardcoded special cycle messages are defined in the command encode: HALT and SHUTDOWN. Software can also generate special cycles by using special cycle gener- ation for configuration mechanism #1 as described in the PCI Specification 2.1 and briefly described here. To ini- tiate a special cycle from software, the host must write a value to CONFIG_ADDRESS encoded as shown in Table 4-40. The next value written to CONFIG_DATA is the encoded special cycle. Type 0 or Type 1 conversion will be based on the Bus Bridge number matching the GXLV proces- sor’s bus number of 00h. Table 4-40.

4.7.6 PCI Configuration Space Control Registers
There are two registers in this category: CONFIG_ADDRESS and CONFIG_DATA. The CONFIG_ADDRESS register contains the address information for the next configuration space access to CONFIG_DATA. Only DWORD accesses are permitted to this register all others will be forwarded as normal I/O cycles to the PCI bus. The CONFIG_DATA register contains the data that is sent or received during a PCI configuration space access. Table 4-41 gives the bit formats for these two registers. Table 4-41. PCI Configuration Registers Bit Name Description I/O Offset 0CF8h-0CFBh CONFIG_ADDRESS Register (R/W) Default Value = 00000000h
31 GFC_EN CONFIG ENABLE: Determines when accesses should be translated to configuration cycles on the
PCI bus, or treated as a normal I/O operation. This register will be updated only on full DWORD I/O operations to the CONFIG_ADDRESS. Any other accesses are treated as normal I/O cycles in order to allow I/O devices to use BYTE or WORD registers at the same address and remain unaf- fected. Once bit 31 is set high, subsequent accesses to CONFIG_DATA are then translated to con- figuration cycles. 1 = Generate configuration cycles. 0 = Normal I/O cycles. 30:24 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 23:16 BUS Bus: Specifies a PCI bus number in the hierarchy of 1 to 256 buses. 15:11 DEVICE Device:Selects a device on a specified bus. A device value of 00h will select the GXLV processor if the bus number is also 00h. DEVICE values of 01h to 15h will be mapped to AD[31:11], so only 21 of the 32 possible devices are supported. A DEVICE value of 00001b will map to AD[11] while a device of 10101b will map to AD[31]. 10:8 FUNCTION Function:Selects a function in a multi-function device. 7:2 REGISTER Register:Chooses a configuration DWORD space register in the selected device. 1:0 TT Translation Type Bits:These bits indicate if the configuration access is local or one that requires translation through other bridges to another PCI bus. When an access occurs to the CONFIG_DATA address and the specified bus number matches the GXLV processor’s bus number (00h), then a Type 0 translation takes place. For a Type 0 translation, the CONFIG_ADDRESS register values are translated to AD lines on the PCI bus. Note that bits [10:2] are passed unchanged. The DEVICE value is mapped to one of 21 AD lines. The translation type bits are set to 00 to indicate a transaction on the local PCI bus. When an access occurs to the CONFIG_DATA address and the specified bus number is not 00h (Type 1), the GXLV processor passes this cycle to the PCI bus by copying the contents of the CONFIG_ADDRESS register onto the AD lines during the address phase of the cycle while driving the translation type bits AD[1:0] to 01. I/O Offset 0CFCh-0CFFh CONFIG_DATA (R/W) Default Value = 00000000h 31:0 CONFIG_DATA Configuration Data Register:Contains the data that is sent or received during a PCI configuration space access. The register accessed is determined by the value in the CONFIG_ADDRESS regis- ter. The CONFIG_DATA register supports BYTE, WORD, or DWORD accesses. To access this reg- ister, bit 31 of the CONFIG_ADDRESS register must be set to 0 and a full DWORD I/O access must be done. Configuration cycles are performed when bit 31 of the CONFIG_ADDRESS register is set to 1

4.7.8 PCI Cycles
The following sections and diagrams provide the func- tional relationships for PCI cycles.
4.7.8.1 PCI Read Transaction
A PCI read transaction consists of an address phase and one or more data phases. Data phases may consist of wait cycles and a data transfer. Figure 4-18 illustrates a PCI read transaction. In this example, there are three data phases. The address phase begins on clock 2 when FRAME# is asserted. During the address phase, AD[31:0] contains a valid address and C/BE[3:0]# contains a valid bus com- mand. The first data phase begins on clock 3. During the data phase, AD[31:0] contains data and C/BE[3:0]# indi- cate which byte lanes of AD[31:0] carry valid data. The first data phase completes with zero delay cycles. How- ever, the second phase is delayed one cycle because the target was not ready so it deasserted TRDY# on clock 5. The last data phase is delayed one cycle because the master deasserted IRDY# on clock 7. For additional information refer to Chapter 3.3.1, Read Transaction, of the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. Figure 4-18.

4.7.8.2 PCI Write Transaction
A PCI write transaction is similar to a PCI read transac- tion, consisting of an address phase and one or more data phases. Since the master provides both address and data, no turnaround cycle is required following the address phase. The data phases work the same for both read and write transactions. Figure 4-19 illustrates a write transaction. T h ea d d r e s sp h a s eb e g i n so nc l o c k2w h e nF R A M E #i s asserted. The first and second data phases complete without delays.

4.7.8.3 PCI Arbitration
An agent requests the bus by asserting its REQ#. Based on the arbitration scheme set in the PCI Arbitration Con- trol 2 Register (Index 44h), the GXLV processor’sP C I arbiter will grant the request by asserting GNT#. Figure 4- 20 illustrates basic arbitration. REQ#-a is asserted at CLK 1. The PCI arbiter grants access to Agent A by asserting GNT#-a on CLK 2. Agent A must begin a transaction by asserting FRAME# within 16 clocks, or the GXLV’s PCI arbiter will remove GNT#. Also, it is possible for Agent A to lose bus ownership sooner if another agent with higher priority requests the bus. However, in this example, Agent B is of higher priority than Agent A. When Agent B requests the bus on CLK 2, Agent A is allowed to proceed per Specification. Agent A starts its transaction on CLK 3 by asserting FRAME# and completes its transaction. Since Agent A requests another transaction, REQ#-a remains asserted. When FRAME# is asserted on CLK 3, the PCI arbiter determines Agent B should go next, asserts GNT#-b and deasserts GNT#-a on CLK 4. Agent B requires only a single transaction. It completes the transaction, then deasserts FRAME# and REQ#-b on CLK 6. The PCI arbiter can then grant access to Agent A, and does so on CLK 7. Note that all buffers must flush before a grant is given to a new agent. For additional information refer to Chapter 3.4.1, Arbitra- tion Signaling Protocol, of the PCI Local Bus Specifica- tion, Revision 2.1.
4.7.8.4 PCI Halt Command
Halt is a broadcast message from the GXLV processor indicating it has executed a HALT instruction. The PCI Special Cycle command is used to broadcast the mes- sage to all agents on the bus segment. During the address phase of the Halt Special cycle, C/BE[3:0]# = 0001 and AD[31:0] are driven to arbitrary values. During the data phase, C/BE[3:0]# = 1100 indicating bytes 1 and 0 are valid and AD[15:0] = 0001h. For additional information, refer to Chapter 3.7.2, Special Cycle, and Appendix A, Special Cycle Messages, of the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. Figure 4-20.

5.0 Power Management
Power consumption in a GXLV processor based system is managed with the use of both of hardware and software. The complete hardware solution is provided for only when the GXLV processor is combined with a Geode I/O com- panion such as the CS5530. The GXLV processor power consumption is managed pri- marily through a sophisticated clock stop management technology. The GXLV processor also provides the hard- ware enablers from which the complete power manage- ment solution depends on. Typically the three greatest power consumers in a battery powered device are the display, the hard drive (if it has one) and the CPU. Managing power for the first two is rel- atively straightforward and is discussed in the CS5530 I/O companion data book. Managing CPU power is more diffi- cult since effective use of the clock stop technology requires effective detection of inactivity, both at a system level and at a code processing level. Basically two methods are supported to manage power during periods of inactivity. The first method, called activ- ity based power management allows the hardware in the Geode I/O companion to monitor activity to certain devices in the system and if a period of inactivity occurs take some form of power conservation action. This method does not require OS support because this sup- port is handled by SMM software. Simple monitoring of external activity is imperfect as well as inefficient. The second method, called passive power management, requires the OS to take the active role in managing power. National supports two application programming interfaces (APIs) to enable power management by the OS: Advanced Power Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). These two methods can be used independent of one another or they can be used together. The extent to which these resources are employed depends on the application and the discretion of the system designer. The GXLV processor and Geode I/O companion chips contain advanced power management features for reduc- ing the power consumption of the processor in the sys- tem.
5.1 POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURES
The GXLV processor based system supports the following power management features: GXLV processor hardware - System Management Mode (SMM) - Suspend-on-Halt - CPU Suspend -3 V o l t S u s p e n d - GXLV Processor Serial Bus Geode I/O companion hardware: - I/O activity monitoring - SMI generation - CPU Suspend control - Suspend Modulation -3 V o l t S u s p e n d - ACPI hardware Software: - API for APM aware OS - API for ACPI aware OS - PM VSA for not PM aware OS’s Geode I/O companion power management support is dis- cussed in this specification only when necessary to better explain the GXLV processor’s power management fea- tures. Software support of power management is discussed in this specification only when necessary to better explain the GXLV processor’s power management features.
5.1.1 System Management Mode
The GXLV processor has an operation mode called Sys- tem Management Mode. This mode is generally entered when the SMI# pin goes active. SMM is explained in Sec- tion 3.7“System Management Mode”on page 83.If active power management is desired, then the Geode I/O com- panion is programmed at boot time to activate SMM through the SMI# pin due to specific I/O inactivity. SMM is also used in the passive power management method, however, it is limited to supporting specific API calls such as entering sleep modes.
5.1.2 Suspend-on-Halt
Suspend-on-Halt is the most effective power reducing fea- ture of the GXLV processor with the system active. This f e a t u r ea l l o w st h es y s t e mt or e d u c ep o w e rw h e nt h es y s - tem’s OS becomes idle without producing any delay when the system’s OS becomes active. When entered, Suspend-on-Halt stops the clock to the processor core while the intergrated functions (graphics, memory controller, PCI controller) are still active. There is absolutely no observational evidence that the processor has changed operational behavior except for two things. The GXLV draws significantly less core power and the SUSPA# pin is active while in this state.
5.1.3 CPU Suspend
CPU Suspend is a hardware initiated power management state. The SUSP# pin is asserted by external hardware such as an Geode I/O companion. The GXLV processor asserts the SUSP A# pin to indicate that the processor has entered CPU Suspend. This state is similar to Suspend- on-Halt except for its entry and exit method. SUSP# active causes the processor to enter the state and SUSP# inac- tive causes its exit. The power savings is identical to Sus- pend-on-Halt. Also, as in Suspend-on-Halt, the processor will temporally disable CPU Suspend when there is PCI master activity.
Revision 1.1 177 www.national.com Power Management (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series CPU Suspend can be used for Suspend Modulation. The Geode I/O companion can be programmed to assert/deassert SUSP# at a programmable frequency and duty cycle. This has the effect of reducing the average frequency that the processor is running and thus reduces power consumption and performance. Certain processing activities (SMI#, Interrupts, and VGA activity) can be mon- itored by the Geode I/O companion to temporarily sus- pend, Suspend Modulation for a programmable amount of time. Suspend modulation programming is explained in detail in the Geode I/O companion data books such as the CS5530.
5.1.3.1 Suspend Modulation for Thermal
The best use of Suspend Modulation is for thermal man- agement. The Geode I/O companion monitors the tem- perature of the system and/or CPU and asserts the SMI# pin, if the system or CPU gets too hot. The power man- agement SMM handler enables Suspend Modulation. When the temperature drops to a certain point the Geode I/O companion again asserts the SMI# pin. The power management SMM handler disables Suspend Modulation and normal operation resumes. A significant side effect of Suspend Modulation is a lowering of system performance while in this state. The system design must take this into account. If the system exceeds temperature limits only in extreme conditions then thermal management by use of Suspend Modulation can be easily and effectively used to reduce system cost by eliminating fans and possibility heatsinks. However, if maximum performance is required in all conditions then Suspend Modulation should not be used.
5.1.3.2 Suspend Modulation for Power Management
Suspend modulation can also be used for a crude method of power management. The Geode I/O companion moni- tors I/O activity and when that monitoring indicates inac- tivity, the Geode /O companion asserts the SMI# pin. The power management SMM handler enables Suspend Mod- ulation. When I/O activity picks up, the SMI# pin is asserted again and the power management SMM handler exits Suspend Modulation and normal operation resumes. 5.1.4 3 Volt Suspend
3 Volt Suspend is identical to CPU Suspend with the addi-
tion of setting CLK_STP in the PM_CNTRL_CSTP Regis- ter (Table 5-2 on page 181), and turning off the graphics pipeline (set GX_BASE+8304h[0] = 0) before the asser- tion of SUSP#. If CLK_STP is set and the graphics pipe- line is still active then the SUSP# will be ignored and 3 Volt Suspend will not be entered. As 3 Volt Suspend is being entered, the memory controller puts the SDRAMS in self refresh mode. At this point, all internal clocks in the GXLV processor are stopped. Once SUSPA# has gone active, SYSCLK input pin can be stopped. While in this state the GXLV processor will not respond to anything except the deassertion of SUSP# as long as SYSCLK has been restarted.
5.1.5 GXLV Processor Serial Bus
The power management logic of the GXLV processor pro- vides the Geode I/O companion with information regard- ing the GXLV processor productivity. If the GXLV processor is determined to be relatively inactive, the GXLV processor power consumption can be greatly reduced by entering the Suspend Modulation mode. Although the majority of the system power management logic is implemented in the Geode I/O companion, a small amount of logic is required within the GXLV processor to provide information from the graphics controller that is not externally visible otherwise. The GXLV processor imple- ments a simple serial communications mechanism to transmit the CPU status to the Geode I/O companion. The GXLV processor accumulates CPU events in a 8-bit regis- ter,“PM Serial Packet Register”(GX_BASE+850Ch), that is serially transmitted out of the GXLV processor every 1 to 10µs. The transmission frequency is set with bits [4:3] of the“PM Serial Packet Control Register”. These register formats are given in T able 5-2 starting on page 181.
5.1.6 Advanced Power Management (APM) Support
Many battery powered devices rely solely on the APM (Advanced Power Management) driver for DOS, Windows 95/98, and other operating systems to manage power to the CPU. APM provides several services that enhance the system power management by determining when the CPU is idle. For the CPU, APM is theoretically the best approach but there are some drawbacks. APM is an OS-specific driver which is not available for all operating systems. Application support is inconsistent. Some applications in foreground may prevent idle calls. The components for APM support are: Software CPU Suspend control via the Geode I/O companion CPU Suspend Command Register. Software SMI entry via the Software SMI Register. This allows the APM BIOS to be part of the SMM handler.

5.2 SUSPEND MODES AND BUS CYCLES
The following subsections describe the bus cycles of the various suspend states.
5.2.1 Timing Diagram for Suspend-on-Halt
The CPU enters Suspend-on-Halt as a result of executing a halt (HLT) instruction if the SUSP_HALT bit in CCR2 (Index C2h[3]) is set. When the HLT instruction is exe- cuted, the halt PCI cycle is run on the PCI bus normally and then the SUSPA# pin will go active to indicate that the processor has entered the suspend state. This state is slightly is different from CPU Suspend because of how Suspend-on-Halt is entered and how it is exited. Suspend- on-Halt is exited upon recognition of an unmasked INTR or an SMI#. Normally SUSPA# is deactivated within six SYSCLKS from the detection of an active interrupt. How- ever, the deactivation of SUSPA# may be delayed until the end of an active refresh cycle. The CPU allows PCI master accesses during a HALT -initi- ated Suspend mode. The SUSPA# pin will go inactive dur- ing the duration of the PCI activity. If the CPU is in the middle of a PCI master access when the Halt instruction is executed, the assertion of SUSPA# will be delayed until the PCI access is completed. See Figure 5-1 for timing details.

Revision 1.1 179 www.national.com Power Management (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series
5.2.2 Initiating Suspend with SUSP#
The GXLV processor enters the Suspend mode in response to SUSP# input assertion only when certain conditions are met. First, the USE_SUSP bit must be set in CCR2 (Index C2h[7]). In addition, execution of the cur- rent instructions and any pending decoded instructions and associated bus cycles must be completed. SUSP# is sampled on the rising edge of SYSCLK, and must meet specified setup and hold times to be recognized at a par- ticular SYSCLK edge. See Figure 5-2 for timing details. When all conditions are met, the SUSPA# output is asserted. The time from assertion of SUSP# to the activa- tion of SUSPA# depends on which instructions were decoded prior to assertion of SUSP#. Normally, once SUSP# has been sampled inactive the SUSPA# output will be deactivated within two clocks. However, the deacti- vation of SUSPA# may be delayed until the end of an active refresh cycle. If the CPU is already in a Suspend mode initiated by SUSP#, one occurrence of INTR and SMI# is stored for execution after Suspend mode is exited. The CPU also allows PCI master accesses during a SUSP#-initiated S u s p e n dm o d e .S e eF i g u r e5 - 3f o rt i m i n gd e t a i l s .I fa n unmasked REQx# is asserted, the GXLV processor will deassert SUSPA# and exit Suspend mode to respond to the PCI master access. If SUSP# is asserted when the PCI master access is completed, REQx# deasserted, the GXLV processor will reassert SUSPA# and return to a SUSP#-initiated Suspend mode. If the CPU is in the mid- dle of a PCI master access when SUSP# is asserted, the assertion of SUSPA# will be delayed until the PCI access is completed. Figure 5-2.

5.2.3 Stopping the Input Clock
The GXLV processor is a static device, allowing the input clock (SYSCLK) to be stopped and restarted without any loss of internal CPU data. The SYSCLK input can be stopped at either a logic high or logic low state. The required sequence for stopping SYSCLK is to initiate 3 Volt Suspend, wait for the assertion of SUSPA# by the processor, and then stop the input clock. The CPU remains suspended until SYSCLK is restarted and the Suspend mode is exited as described earlier. While SYSCLK is stopped, the processor can no longer sample and respond to any input stimulus including REQx#, NMI, SMI#, INTR, and RESET inputs. Figure 5-4 illustrates the recommended sequence for stopping the SYSCLK using SUSP# to initiate 3 Volt Sus- pend. SYSCLK may be started prior to or following nega- tion of the SUSP# input. The figure includes the SUSP_3V pin from the Geode I/O companion which is used to stop the external clocks.
5.2.4 Serial Packet Transmission
The GXLV processor transmits the contents of the“PM Serial Packet Register”on the SERIALP output pin to the PSERIAL input pin of the Geode I/O companion. The GXLV processor holds SERIALP low until the transmis- sion interval counter (GX_BASE+8504h[4:3]) has elapsed. Once the counter has elapsed, PSERIAL is held high for two SYSCLKs to indicate the start of packet trans- mission. The contents of the packet register are then shifted out starting from bit 7 down to bit 0. PSERIAL is held high for one SYSCLK to indicate the end of packet transmission and then remains low until the next transmission interval. After the packet transmission has completed, the packet contents are cleared. Figure 5-4. Stopping SYSCLK During Suspend Mode SYSCLK SUSP# SUSP_3V SMI Event, Timer or Pin SUSPA# (I/O companion)

5.3 POWER MANAGEMENT REGISTERS
The GXLV processor contains the power management registers for the serial packet transmission control, the user-defined power management address space, Sus- pend Refresh, and SMI status for Suspend/Resume.

Do not write to these bits. 7:6 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 5X _ T E S T ( W O ) Transmission Test (Write Only): Setting this bit causes the GXLV processor to immediately trans- mit the current contents of the serial packet. This bit is write only and is used primarily for test. This bit returns 0 on a read. 4:3 X_FREQ Transmission Frequency:This field indicates the time between serial packet transmissions. Serial packet transmissions occur at the selected interval only if at least one of the packet bits is set high: 00 = Disable transmitter; 01 = 1 ms; 10 = 5 ms; 11 = 10 ms. 2C P U _ R D CPU Activity Read Enable:Setting this bit high enables reporting of CPU level-1 cache read misses that are not a result of an instruction fetch. This bit is a don’t-care if the CPU_EN bit is not set high. 1C P U _ E N CPU Activity Master Enable:Setting this bit high enables reporting of CPU Level-1 cache misses in bit 6 of the serial transmission packet. When enabled, the CPU Level-1 cache miss activity is reported on any read (assuming the CPU_RD is set high) or write access excluding misses that resulted from an instruction fetch. 0V I D _ E N Video Event Enable:Setting this bit high enables video decode events to be reported in bit 0 of the serial transmission packet. CPU or graphics-pipeline accesses to the graphics memory and display- controller-register accesses are also reported.

The clocks to the memory and display controller remain active during Suspend. 1 = 3 Volt Suspend Mode. The external clock may be stopped during Suspend. Note: When bit 0 is set high and the Suspend input pin (SUSP#) is asserted, the GXLV processor stops all it’s internal clocks, and asserts the Suspend Acknowledge output pin (SUSPA#). Once SUSPA# is asserted the GXLV processor’s SYSCLK input can be stopped. If bit 0 is cleared, the internal memory-controller and display-controller clocks are not stopped on the SUSP#/SUSPA# sequence, and the SYSCLK input can not be stopped.

This bit is set at the same time that the VINT (Vertical Interrupt) bit is set in the DC_TIMING_CFG register. The VINT bit has a corresponding enable bit (VIEN) in the DC_TIM_CFG register (See Table 4-29 on page 145). 6C P U _ A C T CPU Activity:This bit indicates the occurrence of a level 1 cache miss that was not a result of an instruction fetch. This bit has a corresponding enable bit in the PM_CNTL_TEN register. 5:2 RSVD Reserved: Set to 0. 1U S R _ D E F Programmable Address Decode: This bit indicates the occurrence of a programmable memory address decode. This bit is set based on the values of the PM_BASE register and the PM_MASK register (see Table 5-3 on page 183). The PM_BASE register can be initialized to any address in the full 256 MB address range. 0V I D _ D E C Video Decode:This bit indicates that the CPU has accessed either the Display Controller registers or the graphics memory region. This bit has a corresponding enable bit in the PM_CNTRL_TEN. Note: The GXLV processor transmits the contents of the serial packet only when a bit in the packet register is set and the interval counter has elapsed. The Geode I/O companion decodes the serial packet after each transmission. Once a bit in the packet is set, it will remain set until the completion of the next packet transmission. Successive events of the same type that occur between packet transmissions are ignored. Multiple unique events between packet transmissions will accumulate in this regis- ter. Table 5-2.

6.0 Electrical Specifications
This section provides information on electrical connec- tions, absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, DC characteristics, and AC characteristics for the Geode GXLV processor series. All voltage values in the electrical specifications are with respect to V SS unless otherwise noted. For detailed information on the PCI bus electrical specification refer to Chapter 4 of the PCI Bus Specification, Revision 2.1.
6.1 PART NUMBERS/PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The GXLV series of processors is designated by three core voltage specifications: 2.9V, 2.5V, and 2.2V. Each core voltage is offered in frequencies that are enabled by specific system clock and internal multiplier settings. This allows the user to select the device(s) that best fit their power and performance requirements. This flexibility makes the GXLV processor series ideally suited for appli- cations where power consumption and performance (speed) are equally important. The part numbers in Table 6-1 designate the various com- binations of speed and power consumption available. Note that while there are three V CC2 (Core) voltages avail- able, the VCC3 (I/O) voltage remains constant at 3.3V (nominal) in order to maintain LVTTL compatibility with external devices. Table 6-1.

6.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
6.2.1 Power/Ground Connections and Decoupling
Testing and operating the GXLV processor requires the use of standard high frequency techniques to reduce par- asitic effects. These effects can be minimized by filtering the DC power leads with low-inductance decoupling capacitors, using low-impedance wiring, and by connect- ing all V CC2 and VCC3 pins to the appropriate voltage lev- els.
6.2.1.1 Power Planes
Figure 6-1 shows layout recommendations for splitting the power plane between VCC2 (core: 2.2V , 2.5V, 2.9V) and VCC3 (I/O: 3.3V) volts in the BGA package. The illustration assumes there is one power plane, and no components on the back of the board. Figure 6-2 shows layout recommendations for splitting the power plane between VCC2 (core: 2.2V , 2.5V, 2.9V) and VCC3 (I/O: 3.3V) volts in the SPGA package. Figure 6-1.

6.3 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Table 6-3 lists absolute maximum ratings for the GXLV pro- cessor. Stresses beyond the listed ratings may cause per- manent damage to the device. Exposure to conditions beyond these limits may (1) reduce device reliability and (2) result in premature failure even when there is no immediately apparent sign of failure. Prolonged exposure to conditions at or near the absolute maximum ratings may also result in reduced useful life and reliability. These are stress rat- ings only and do not imply that operation under any condi- tions other than those listed under T able 6-4 on page 189 is possible. Table 6-3.

6.5 DC CHARACTERISTICS
All DC parameters and current measurements in this section were measured under the operating conditions listed in Table 6-4 on page 189.
6.5.1 Input/Output DC Characteristics
Table 6-5 shows the input/output DC parameters for all the devices in the GXLV processor series.
6.5.2 DC Current
DC current is not a simple measurement. The CPU has four power states and two functional characteristics that determine how much current the processor uses at any given point in time.
6.5.2.1 Definition of CPU Power States
The following DC characteristic tables list CPU core and I/O current for four distinct CPU power states: On : All internal and external clocks with respect to the processor are running and all functional blocks inside the processor (CPU core, memory controller, display controller, etc.) are actively generating cycles. This is equivalent to the ACPI specification’s"S0" state. Active Idle: The CPU core has been halted, all other functional blocks (including the display controller for refreshing the display) are actively generating cycles. This state is entered when a HLT instruction is executed by the CPU core or the SUSP# pin is asserted. From a user’s perspective, this state is indis- tinquishable from the "On" state and is equivalent to the ACPI specification’s"S1" state. Standby: The CPU core has been halted and all internal clocks have been shut down. Externally, the SYSCLK input continues to be driven. This is equiva- lent to the ACPI specification’s"S2" or "S3" state. Sleep: Very similar to "Standby" except that the SYSCLK input has been shut down as well. This is the l o w e s tp o w e rs t a t et h ep r o c e s s o rc a nb ei nw i t hv o l t a g e still applied to the device’s core and I/O supply pins. This is equivalent to the ACPI specification’s "S4BIOS" state.
6.5.2.2 Definition and Measurement Techniques of
The following two parameters indicate processor current w h i l ei nt h e" O n "s t a t e : Typical Average: Indicates the average current used b yt h ep r o c e s s o rw h i l ei nt h e“On ”state. This is measured by running typical Windows applications in a typical display mode. In this case, 800x600x8 bpp at 75 Hz, 50 MHz DCLK using a background image of vertical stripes (4-pixel wide) alternating between black and white with power management disabled (to guar- antee that the processor never goes into the Active Idle state). This number is provided for reference only since it can vary greatly depending on the usage model of the system. Note: This typical average should not be confused with the typical power numbers shown in Table 6-1 on page 184. The numbers in Table 6-1 are based on a combination of“On (Typical Average)”and “Active Idle”states. Absolute Maximum : Indicates the maximum instanta- neous current used by the processor. CPU core current is measured by running the Landmark Speed 200 benchmark test (with power management disabled) and measuring the peak current at any given instant during the test. I/O current is measured by running Microsoft Windows 98 and using a background image of vertical stripes (1-pixel wide) alternating between black and white at the maximum display resolution of 1280x1024x8 bpp at 75 Hz, 135 MHz DCLK.

6.5.2.3 Definition of System Conditions for Measuring "On" Parameters
Processor current is highly dependent two functional char- acteristics, DCLK (DOT clock) and SDRAM frequency. Table 6-6 shows how these factors are controlled when measuring the typical average and absolute maximum processor current parameters. Table 6-6. System Conditions Used to Determine CPU’s Current Used During the "On" State CPU Current Measurement System Conditions CommentsVCC2 VCC3 DCLK Freq SDRAM Freq Typical Average Nominal Nominal 50 MHz Nominal Note 2 Notes 1 and 4 Absolute Maximum Max Max 135 MHz Max Note 5 N o t e s3 ,4 ,5 ,7 Notes: 1. A DCLK frequency of 50 MHz is derived by setting the display mode to 800x600x8 bpp at 75 Hz, using a display image of vertical stripes (4-pixel wide) alternating between black and white with power manage- ment disabled. 2. SDRAM nominal frequency represents a single value that the memory controller can be configured for, between 66 MHz and 78 MHz, based on a given core clock frequency: 166 MHz (5x) / 2.5 = 66.67 MHz 180 MHz (6x) / 2.5 = 72.0 MHz 200 MHz (6x) / 3.0 = 66.67 MHz 233 MHz (7x) / 3.0 = 77.78 MHz 266 MHz (8x) / 3.5 = 76.19 MHz 3. A DCLK frequency of 135 MHz is derived by setting the display mode to 1280x1024x8 bpp at 75 Hz, using a display image of vertical stripes (1-pixel wide) alternating between black and white with power manage- ment disabled. 4. See Table 6-4 on page 189 for nominal and maximum voltages. 5. SDRAM max frequency represents the highest frequency that the memory controller can be configured, up to 100 MHz, based on a given core clock frequency: 166 MHz (5x) / 2.0 = 83.3 MHz 180 MHz (6x) / 2.0 = 90.0 MHz 200 MHz (6x) / 2.0 = 100.0 MHz 233 MHz (7x) / 2.5 = 93.3 MHz 266 MHz (8x) / 3.0 = 88.9 MHz 6. SDRAM speeds between 79 MHz and 100 MHz are only supported for particular types of closed system designs. Therefore, absolute maximum current will not be realized in most system designs. Refer to the de-rating curve in Figure 6-3 on page 195 to calculate absolute maximum current based on the system’s parameters. 7. Not all system designs will support display modes that require a DCLK of 135 MHz. Therefore, absolute maximum current will not be realized in all system designs. Refer to the de-rating curve in Figure 6-3 on page 195 to calculate absolute maximum current based on the system’s parameters.

6.6 I/O CURRENT DE-RATING CURVE
As mentioned Section 6.5.2.3“Definition of System Con- ditions for Measuring "On" Parameters”on page 191, the I/O current of the processor is affected by two system parameters, DCLK and SDRAM frequency. A de-rating curve (see Figure 6-3) is provided so that the system designer can determine the absolute maximum I/O cur- rent used by the processor for a particular design. Core current is not significantly affected by these two parame- ters, so a core current de-rating curve is not provided.
6.6.1 Display Resolution
The change in current of five common display resolutions is used to extrapolate the de-rating curve. DCLK is derived from the display resolution, color depth, and refresh rate. The relationship between DCLK and I/O cur- rent is linear. The system designer must determine the maximum DCLK frequency required in the system based on the maximum display that will be supported.
6.6.2 Memory Speed
Each device in the GXLV processor series is defined by a particular core voltage and core frequency. The SDRAM frequency is derived internally by a programmable divisor of the core frequency. Typically, there are three SDRAM frequencies between 55 and 100 MHz that can be derived from a single core frequency. These three frequencies are provided in the following de-rating curve so that their effect on current can be seen. Just as with the display res- olution, current de-rating due to memory speed is linear. SDRAM frequencies between 79 and 100 MHz are only supported for certain types of closed systems and strict design rules must be adhered to. For further details, please contact your local National Semiconductor techni- cal support representative.
6.6.3 I/O Current De-rating Curve
The I/O current de-rating curve, shown in Figure 6-3, is the same for all devices in the GXLV series of processors. While the memory speeds for the various core frequen- cies are different, the three memory speeds for each device produce the same de-rating effect. Figure 6-3.

6.7 AC CHARACTERISTICS
The following tables list the AC characteristics including output delays, input setup requirements, input hold requirements, and output float delays. The rising-clock- edge reference level V REF, and other reference levels are shown in Table 6-13. Input or output signals must cross these levels during testing. Input setup and hold times are specified minimums that define the smallest acceptable sampling window for which a synchronous input signal must be stable for correct oper- ation. All AC tests are performed at V CC2 = 2.1V to 2.31V (2.2V Nominal), VCC2 = 2.37V to 2.63V (2.5V Nominal), VCC2 = Nominal), TC =0 oCt o8 5oC, RL = 50 ohms, and CL =5 0 pF unless otherwise specified While most minimum, maximum, and typical AC charac- teristics are only shown as a single value, they are tested and guaranteed across the entire processor core voltage range of 2.2V to 2.9V (nominal). AC characteristics that are affected significantly by the core voltage or speed grade are documented accordingly. Figure 6-4.

7.0 Package Specifications
The thermal characteristics and mechanical dimensions for the Geode GXLV processor are provided on the following pages.
7.1 THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Table 7-1 shows the junction-to-case thermal resistance of the SPGA and BGA package and can be used to calcu- late the junction (die) temperature under any given cir- cumstance. Note that there is no specification for maximum junction temperature given since the operation of both SPGA and BGA devices are guaranteed to a case temperature range of 0°Ct o8 5°C( s e eT C in Table 6-4 on page 189). As long as the case temperature of the device is maintained within this range, the junction temperature of the die will also be maintained within its allowable operating range. However, the die (junction) temperature under a given operating condition can be calculated by using the following equa- tion: T J =T C +( P* θJC) where: TJ = Junction temperature (°C) TC = Case temperature at top center of package (°C) P = Maximum power dissipation (W) θJC = Junction-to-case thermal resistance (°C/W) These examples are given for reference only. The actual value used for maximum power (P) and ambient tempera- ture (T A) is determined by the system designer based on system configuration, extremes of the operating environ- ment, and whether active thermal management (via Sus- pend Modulation) of the processor is employed. A maximum junction temperature is not specified since a maximum case temperature is. Therefore, the following equation can be used to calculate the maximum thermal resistance required of the thermal solution for a given maximum ambient temperature: where: θ CS = Max case-to-heatsink thermal resistance (°C/W) allowed for thermal solution θSA = Max heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance (°C/W) allowed for thermal solution TA = Max ambient temperature (°C) TC = Max case temperature at top center of package (°C) P = Max power dissipation (W) If thermal grease is used between the case and heatsink, θCS will reduce to about 0.01°C/W. Therefore, the above equation can be simplified to: where: θCA = θCS = Max case-to-ambient thermal resistance (°C/W) allowed for thermal solution. The calculatedθCA value (examples shown in Table 7-2) represents the maximum allowed thermal resistance of the selected cooling solution which is required to maintain the maximum T C (shown in Table 6-4 on page 189) for the application in which the device is used.

7.1.1 Heatsink Considerations
Table 7-2 shows the maximum allowed thermal resistance of a heatsink for particular operating environments. The calculated values, defined asθCA , represent the required ability of a particular heatsink to transfer heat generated by the processor from its case into the air, thereby main- taining the case temperature at or below 85°C. Because θCA is a measure of thermalresistivity, it is inversely pro- portional to the heatsink’s ability to dissipate heat or it’s thermalconductivity. Note: A" p e r f e c t "h e a t s i n kw o u l db ea b l et om a i n t a i na case temperature equal to that of the ambient air inside the system chassis. Looking at Table 7-2, it can be seen that as ambient tem- perature (TA) increases,θCA decreases, and that as power consumption of the processor (P) increases,θCA decreases. Thus, the ability of the heatsink to dissipate thermal energy must increase as the processor power increases and as the temperature inside the enclosure increases. Whileθ CA is a useful parameter to calculate, heatsinks are not typically specified in terms of a singleθCA .T h i si s because the thermal resistivity of a heatsink is not con- stant across power or temperature. In fact, heatsinks become slightly less efficient as the amount of heat they are trying to dissipate increases. For this reason, heatsinks are typically specified by graphs that plot heat dissipation (in watts) vs. mounting surface (case) temperature rise above ambient (in°C). This method is necessary because ambient and case temperatures fluctuate constantly dur- ing normal operation of the system. The system designer must be careful to choose the proper heatsink by match- ing the requiredθ CA with the thermal dissipation curve of the device under the entire range of operating conditions in order to make sure that the maximum case temperature from Table 6-4 on page 189 is never exceeded. To choose the proper heatsink, the system designer must make sure that the calculatedθ CA falls above the curve (shaded area). The curve itself defines the minimum temperature rise above ambient that the heatsink can maintain. See Figure 7-1 as an example of a particular heatsink under consideration. Figure 7-1. Heatsink Example Table 7-2. Case-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance Examples @ 85°C Core Voltage (VCC2 ) Core Frequency Maximum Power θCA for Different Ambient Temperatures (°C/W) 20°C 25°C 30°C 35°C 40°C 2.9V (Nominal) 2.5V (Nominal) 2.2V (Nominal) 24 68 10 θCA = 45/9 = 5 Heat Dissipated - Watts θCA = 45/5 = 9 Mounting Surface Temperature Rise Above Ambient–°C
Revision 1.1 209 www.national.com Package Specifications (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Example 1 Assume P (max) = 5W and TA (max) = 40°C. Therefore: In this case, the heatsink under consideration is more than adequate since at 5W worst case, it can maintain a 40°C case temperature rise above ambient (θCA =9 )w h e na maximum of 45°C( θCA = 8) is required. Example 2 Assume P (max) = 10W and TA (max) = 40°C. Therefore: In this case, the heatsink under consideration is NOT ade- quate to maintain the 45°C case temperature rise above ambient for a 9W processor.

8.0 Instruction Set
This section summarizes the Geode GXLV processor instruction set and provides detailed information on the instruction encodings. The instruction set is divided into four categories: Processor Core Instruction Set - listed in Table 8-27 on page 223. FPU Instruction Set - listed in T able 8-29 on page 235. MMX Instruction Set - listed in T able 8-31 on page 240. E x t e n d e dM M XI n s t r u c t i o nS e t-l i s t e di nT a b l e8 - 3 3o n page 245. These tables provide information on the instruction encod- ing, and the instruction clock counts for each instruction. The clock count values for these tables are based on the following assumptions 1. All clock counts refer to the internal processor core clock frequency. For example, clock doubled GXLV processor cores will reference a clock frequency that is twice the bus frequency. 2. The instruction has been prefetched, decoded and is ready for execution. 3. Bus cycles do not require wait states. 4. There are no local bus HOLD requests delaying processor access to the bus. 5. No exceptions are detected during instruction execu- tion. 6. If an effective address is calculated, it does not use two general register components. One register, scaling and displacement can be used within the clock count shown. However, if the effective address calculation uses two general register components, add one clock to the clock count shown. 7. All clock counts assume aligned 32-bit memory/IO operands. 8. If instructions access a 32-bit operand on odd addresses, add one clock for read or write and add two clocks for read and write. 9. For non-cached memory accesses, add two clocks (clock doubled GXLV processor cores) or four clocks (clock tripled GXLV processor cores), assuming zero wait state memory accesses. 10. Locked cycles are not cacheable. Therefore, using the LOCK prefix with an instruction adds additional clocks as specified in item 9 above.
8.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTION SET FORMAT
Depending on the instruction, the GXLV processor core instructions follow the general instruction format shown in Table 8-1. These instructions vary in length and can start at any byte address. An instruction consists of one or more bytes that can include prefix bytes, at least one opcode byte, a mod r/m byte, an s-i-b byte, address displacement, and imme- diate data. An instruction can be as short as one byte and as long as 15 bytes. If there are more than 15 bytes in the instruction, a general protection fault (error code 0) is gen- erated. The fields in the general instruction format at the byte level are summarized in Table 8-2 and detailed in the fol- lowing subsections. Table 8-1. General Instruction Set Format Prefix (optional) Opcode Register and Address Mode Specifier Address Displacement Immediate Data mod r/m Byte s-i-b Byte mod reg r/m ss index base 0 or More Bytes 1 or 2 Bytes 7:6 5:3 2:0 7:6 5:3 2:0 0, 8, 16, or 32 Bits 0, 8, 16, or 32 Bits Table 8-2. Instruction Fields Field Name Description Prefix (optional) Prefix Field(s): One or more optional fields that are used to specify segment register override, address and operand size, repeat elements in string instruction, LOCK# assertion. Opcode Opcode Field: Identifies instruction operation. mod Address Mode Specifier: Used with r/m field to select addressing mode. reg General Register Specifier: Uses reg, sreg3 or sreg2 encoding depending on opcode field. r/m Address Mode Specifier: Used with mod field to select addressing mode. ss Scale factor: Determines scaled-index address mode. index Index: Determines general register to be used as index register. base Base: Determines general register to be used as base register. Address Displacement Displacement: Determines address displacement. Immediate Data Immediate Data: Immediate data operand used by instruction.

8.1.1 Prefix (Optional)
Prefix bytes can be placed in front of any instruction to modify the operation of that instruction. When more than one prefix is used, the order is not important. There are five types of prefixes that can be used: 1. Segment Override explicitly specifies which segment register the instruction will use for effective address calculation. 2. Address Size switches between 16-bit and 32-bit addressing by selecting the non-default address size. 3. Operand Size switches between 16-bit and 32-bit operand size by selecting the non-default operand size. 4. Repeat is used with a string instruction to cause the instruction to be repeated for each element of the string. 5. Lock is used to assert the hardware LOCK# signal during execution of the instruction. Table 8-3 lists the encoding for different types of prefix bytes.
8.1.2 Opcode
The opcode field specifies the operation to be performed by the instruction. The opcode field is either one or two bytes in length and may be further defined by additional bits in the mod r/m byte. Some operations have more than one opcode, each specifying a different form of the opera- tion. Certain opcodes name instruction groups. For exam- ple, opcode 80h names a group of operations that have an immediate operand and a register or memory operand. The reg field may appear in the second opcode byte or in the mod r/m byte. The opcode may contain w, d, s and eee opcode fields, for example, as shown in Table 8-27 on page 223. 8.1.2.1 w Field (Operand Size) When used, the 1-bit w field selects the operand size dur- ing 16-bit and 32-bit data operations. See Table 8-4. 8.1.2.2 d Field (Operand Direction) When used, the 1-bit d field determines which operand is taken as the source operand and which operand is taken as the destination. See Table 8-5. Table 8-3. Instruction Prefix Summary Prefix Encoding Description ES: 26h Override segment default, use ES for memory operand. CS: 2Eh Override segment default, use CS for memory operand. SS: 36h Override segment default, use SS for memory operand. DS: 3Eh Override segment default, use DS for memory operand. FS: 64h Override segment default, use FS for memory operand. GS: 65h Override segment default, use GS for memory operand. Operand Size 66h Make operand size attribute the inverse of the default.

If the s bit is set, the immediate field of the opcode is 8 bits wide and is sign-extended to match the operand size of the opcode. See Table 8-6. 8.1.2.4 eee Field (MOV-Instruction Register Selection) The eee field (bits [5:3]) is used to select the control, debug and test registers in the MOV instructions. The type of register and base registers selected by the eee field are listed in Table 8-7. The values shown in Table 8-7 are the only valid encodings for the eee bits. 8.1.3 mod and r/m Byte (Memory Addressing) The mod and r/m fields within the mod r/m byte, select the type of memory addressing to be used. Some instructions use a fixed addressing mode (e.g., PUSH or POP) and therefore, these fields are not present. Table 8-8 lists the addressing method when 16-bit addressing is used and a mod r/m byte is present. Some mod r/m field encodings are dependent on the w field and are shown in Table 8-9.

8.2 CPUID INSTRUCTION
The CPUID instruction (opcode 0FA2) allows the software to make processor inquiries as to the vendor, family, model, stepping, features and also provides cache infor- mation. The GXLV supports both the standard and National Semiconductor extended CPUID levels. The presence of the CPUID instruction is indicated by the ability to change the value of the ID Flag, bit 21 in the EFLAGS register. The CPUID level allows the CPUID instruction to return different information in the EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX reg- isters. The level is determined by the initialized value of the EAX register before the instruction is executed. A summary of the CPUID levels is shown in Table 8-16.
8.2.1 Standard CPUID Levels
The standard CPUID levels are part of the standard x86 instruction set.
8.2.1.1 CPUID Instruction with EAX = 0000 0000h
Standard function 0h (EAX = 0) of the CPUID instruction returns the maximum standard CPUID levels as well as the processor vendor string. After the instruction is executed, the EAX register contains the maximum standard CPUID levels supported. The maximum standard CPUID level is the highest acceptable value for the EAX register input. This does not include the extended CPUID levels. The EBX through EDX registers contain the vendor string of the processor as shown in Table 8-17. Table 8-16.

8.2.1.2 CPUID Instruction with EAX = 00000001h
Standard function 01h (EAX = 1) of the CPUID instruction returns the processor type, family, model, and stepping information of the current processor in the EAX register (see T able 8-18). The EBX and ECX registers are reserved. The standard feature flags supported are returned in the EDX register as shown in Table 8-19. Each flag refers to a specific feature and indicates if that feature is present on the processor. Some of these features have protection control in CR4. Before using any of these features on the processor, the software should check the corresponding feature flag. Attempting to execute an unavailable feature can cause exceptions and unexpected behavior. For example, software must check EDX bit 4 before attempt- ing to use the Time Stamp Counter instruction.
8.2.1.3 CPUID Instruction with EAX = 00000002h
Standard function 02h (EAX = 02h) of the CPUID instruc- tion returns information that is specific to the National Semiconductor family of processors. Information about the TLB is returned in EAX as shown in Table 8-20. Infor- mation about the L1 cache is returned in EDX. Table 8-18.

8.2.2 Extended CPUID Levels
Testing for extended CPUID instruction support can be accomplished by executing a CPUID instruction with the EAX register initialized to 80000000h. If a value greater than or equal to 8000 0000h is returned to the EAX regis- ter by the CPUID instruction, the processor supports extended CPUID levels.
8.2.2.1 CPUID Instruction with EAX = 80000000h
Extended function 8000 0000h (EAX = 80000000h) of the CPUID instruction returns the maximum extended CPUID levels supported by the current processor in EAX (Table 8- 21). The EBX, ECX, and EDX registers are currently reserved.
8.2.2.2 CPUID Instruction with EAX = 80000001h
Extended function 80000001h (EAX = 80000001h) of the CPUID instruction returns the processor type, family, model, and stepping information of the current processor in EAX. The EBX and ECX registers are reserved. The extended feature flags supported are returned in the EDX register as shown in Table 8-23. Each flag refers to a specific feature and indicates if that feature is present on the processor. Some of these features have protection control in CR4. Before using any of these features on the processor, the software should check the corresponding feature flag. Table 8-21.

These functions elimi- nate the need to look up the processor name in a lookup table. Software can simply call these functions to obtain the name of the processor. The string may be 48 ASCII characters long, and is returned in little endian format. If the name is shorter than 48 characters long, the remain- ing bytes will be filled with ASCII NUL characters (00h).

Revision 1.1 233 www.national.com Instruction Set (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series Instruction Issues for Instruction Set Summary Issues a through c apply to real address mode only: a. This is a protected mode instruction. Attempted execution in real mode will result in exception 6 (invalid opcode). b. Exception 13 fault (general protection) will occur in real mode if an operand reference is made that partially or fully extends beyond the maximum CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit (FFFFH). Exception 12 fault (stack segment limit violation or not present) will occur in real mode if an operand reference is made that partially or fully extends beyond the maximum SS limit. c. This instruction may be executed in real mode. In real mode, its purpose is primarily to initialize the CPU for protected mode. d. - Issues e through g apply to real address mode and protected virtual address mode: e. An exception may occur, depending on the value of the oper- and. f. LOCK# is automatically asserted, regardless of the presence or absence of the LOCK prefix. g. LOCK# is asserted during descriptor table accesses. Issues h through r apply to protected virtual address mode only: h. Exception 13 fault will occur if the memory operand in CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS cannot be used due to either a segment limit violation or an access rights violation. If a stack limit is violated, an exception 12 occurs. i. For segment load operations, the CPL, RPL, and DPL must agree with the privilege rules to avoid an exception 13 fault. The segment’s descriptor must indicate“present”or exception 11 (CS, DS, ES, FS, GS not present). If the SS register is loaded and a stack segment not present is detected, an exception 12 occurs. j. All segment descriptor accesses in the GDT or LDT made by this instruction will automatically assert LOCK# to maintain descriptor integrity in multiprocessor systems. k. JMP, CALL, INT, RET, and IRET instructions referring to another code segment will cause an exception 13, if an appli- cable privilege rule is violated. l. An exception 13 fault occurs if CPL is greater than 0 (0 is the most privileged level). m. An exception 13 fault occurs if CPL is greater than IOPL. n. The IF bit of the Flags register is not updated if CPL is greater than IOPL. The IOPL and VM fields of the Flags register are updated only if CPL = 0. o. The PE bit of the MSW (CR0) cannot be reset by this instruc- tion. Use MOV into CR0 if desiring to reset the PE bit. p. Any violation of privilege rules as apply to the selector oper- and does not cause a Protection exception, rather, the zero flag is cleared. q. If the processor’s memory operand violates a segment limit or segment access rights, an exception 13 fault will occur before the ESC instruction is executed. An exception 12 fault will occur if the stack limit is violated by the operand’ss t a r t i n g address. r. The destination of a JMP , CALL, INT, RET, or IRET must be in the defined limit of a code segment or an exception 13 fault will occur. Issue s applies to National Semiconductor-specific SMM in- structions: s. All memory accesses to SMM space are non-cacheable. An invalid opcode exception 6 occurs unless SMI is enabled and SMAR size > 0, and CPL = 0 and [SMAC is set or if in an SMI handler]. Issue t applies to cache invalidation instruction with the cache operating in write-back mode: t. The total clock count is the clock count shown plus the num- ber of clocks required to write all“modified”cache lines to external memory.

8.4 FPU INSTRUCTION SET
The processor core is functionally divided into the FPU, and the integer unit. The FPU processes floating point instructions only and does so in parallel with the integer unit. For example, when the integer unit detects a floating point instruction without memory operands, after two clock cycles the instruction passes to the FPU for execution. The integer unit continues to execute instructions while the FPU executes the floating point instruction. If another FPU instruction is encountered, the second FPU instruc- tion is placed in the FPU queue. Up to four FPU instruc- tions can be queued. In the event of an FPU exception, while other FPU instructions are queued, the state of the CPU is saved to ensure recovery. The FPU instruction set is summarized in T able 8-29. The table uses abbreviations that are described Table 8-28. Table 8-28. FPU Instruction Set Table Legend Abbr. Description n Stack register number. TOS Top of stack register pointed to by SSS in the status register. ST(1) FPU register next to TOS. ST(n) A specific FPU register, relative to TOS. M.WI 16-bit integer operand from memory.

www.national.com 238 Revision 1.1 Instruction Set (Continued) Geode™ GXLV Processor Series FPU Instruction Summary Issues All references to TOS and ST(n) refer to stack layout prior to exe- cution. Values popped off the stack are discarded. A pop from the stack increments the top of stack pointer. A push to the stack decrements the top of stack pointer. Issues: 1. For FCOS, FSIN, FSINCOS and FPTAN, time shown is for absolute value of TOS < 3p/4. Add 90 clock counts for argu- ment reduction if outside this range. For FCOS, clock count is 141 if TOS <π/4 and clock count is 92 ifπ/4 < TOS >π/2. For FSIN, clock count is 81 to 82 if absolute value of TOS < π/4. 2. For F2XM1, clock count is 92 if absolute value of TOS < 0.5. 3. For FPATAN, clock count is 97 if ST(1)/TOS <π/32. 4. For FYL2XP1, clock count is 170 if TOS is out of range and regular FYL2X is called. 5. The following opcodes are reserved: D9D7, D9E2, D9E7, DDFC, DED8, DEDA, DEDC, DEDD, DEDE, DFFC. If a reserved opcode is executed, and unpredictable results may occur (exceptions are not generated).

8.5 MMX INSTRUCTION SET
The CPU is functionally divided into the FPU unit, and the integer unit. The FPU has been extended to process both MMX instructions and floating point instructions in parallel with the integer unit. For example, when the integer unit detects an MMX instruction, the instruction passes to the FPU unit for exe- cution. The integer unit continues to execute instructions while the FPU unit executes the MMX instruction. If another MMX instruction is encountered, the second MMX instruction is placed in the MMX queue. Up to four MMX instructions can be queued. The MMX instruction set is summarized in Table 8-31. The abbreviations used in the table are listed T able 8-30. Table 8-30. MMX Instruction Set Table Legend Abbreviation Description <---- Result written. [11 mm reg] Binary or binary groups of digits. mm One of eight 64-bit MMX registers. reg A general purpose register. <--sat-- If required, the resultant data is saturated to remain in the associated data range. <--move-- Source data is moved to result location. [byte] Eight 8-bit BYTEs are processed in paral- lel. [word] Four 16-bit WORDs are processed in par- allel. [dword] Two 32-bit DWORDs are processed in par- allel. [qword] One 64-bit QWORD is processed. [sign xxx] The BYTE, WORD, DWORD or QWORD most significant bit is a sign bit. mm1, mm2 MMX Register 1, MMX Register 2. mod r/m Mod and r/m byte encoding (Table 8-15 on page 217). pack Source data is truncated or saturated to next smaller data size, then concatenated. packdw Pack two DWORDs from source and two DWORDs from destination into four WORDs in destination register. packwb Pack four WORDs from source and four WORDs from destination into eight BYTEs in destination register.

8.6 EXTENDED MMX INSTRUCTION SET
National Semiconductor has added instructions to its implementation of the Intel MMX architecture in order to facilitate writing of multimedia applications. In general, these instructions allow more efficient implementation of multimedia algorithms, or more precision in computation than can be achieved using the basic set of MMX instruc- tions. All of the added instructions follow the SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) format. Many of the instructions add flexibility to the MMX architecture by allowing both source operands of an instruction to be preserved, while the result goes to a separate register that is derived from the input. Table 8-33 summarizes the Extended MMX Instructions. The abbreviations used in the table are listed in Table 8- 32. Configuration control register CCR7(0) at Index EBh (see Table 3-11 on page 53) must be set to allow the execution of the Extended MMX instructions. Table 8-32. Extend MMX Instruction Set Table Legend Abbreviation Description <---- Result written. [11 mm reg] Binary or binary groups of digits. mm One of eight 64-bit MMX registers. reg A general purpose register. <--sat-- If required, the resultant data is saturated to remain in the associated data range. <--move-- Source data is moved to result location. [byte] Eight 8-bit BYTEs are processed in paral- lel. [word] Four 16-bit WORDs are processed in par- allel. [dword] Two 32-bit DWORDs are processed in par- allel. [qword] One 64-bit QWORD is processed. [sign xxx] The BYTE, WORD, DWORD or QWORD most significant bit is a sign bit. mm1, mm2 MMX Register 1, MMX Register 2. mod r/m Mod and r/m byte encoding (Table 8-15 on page 217). pack Source data is truncated or saturated to next smaller data size, then concatenated. packdw Pack two DWORDs from source and two DWORDs from destination into QWORDs in destination register. packwb Pack QWORDs from source and QWORDs from destination into eight BYTEs in desti- nation register.
