Generic Own Bits Register - Intel 21555 User Manual

List of Registers
Table 80. Generic Own Bits Register
The 21555 implements two generic own bits that can be accessed in either memory or I/O space from either
the primary or secondary interface. These bits may be used as an aid to lock resources in software. When a
bus master reads the Own bit, it returns 1 if it has already been set, or it returns 0 if the Own bit is available
and then automatically sets the bit upon completion of the read. The Own bit is cleared by writing a 1 to the bit.
-
A read only shadow copy of the bit can be read to check the status of an Own bit without causing the bit to
set.
Own bit 0 is bit [0] at CSR offset 0D0h, bits [7:1] are reserved. Own bit 1 is bit [0] at CSR offset 0D1h, bits [7:1]
are reserved. Shadow copies of these Own bits may be found at bits [1:0] at CSR offset 0D2h.
These bits may be used as generic own bits, or semaphores. Setting or clearing these bits has no
direct hardware effect on other
unintended side-effects

Name R/W Description
Generic own bit 0. This bit may be used as a semaphore by either
primary or secondary bus masters. When read, current value is
returned, and then the bit is automatically set to a 1 if the value read
is 0, or kept as a 1 if the value read was 1.
Generic ROTS/
Writing a 1 clears this bit to a 0.
Own Bit 0 W1TC
Writing a 0 has no effect.
Generic Own Status 0 can be read to check the state of this bit
without side effects.
Reset value is 0
Reserved R Reserved. Returns 0 when read.
Generic own bit 1. This bit may be used as a semaphore by either
primary or secondary bus masters. When read, current value is
returned, and then the bit is automatically set to a 1 if the value read
is 0, or kept as a 1 if the value read was 1.
Generic ROTS/
Writing a 1 clears this bit to a 0.
Own Bit 1 W1TC
Writing a 0 has no effect.
Generic Own Status 1 can be read to check the state of this bit
without side effects.
Reset value is 0
Reserved R Reserved. Returns 0 when read.
Generic Returns the current state of Own Bit 0. When checking the state of
Own 0 R this bit, the lower two bytes of this Dword location should be masked

Generic Returns the current state of Own Bit 1. When checking the state of
