Table 7: Parallel port register set
Note 1 : These registers are only available in EPP mode.
Note 2 : Prefix ‘n’ denotes that a signal is inverted at the connector. Suffix ‘#’ denotes active-low signalling
The reset state of PDR, EPPA and EPPD1-4 is not determinable (i.e. 0xXX). The reset value of DSR is ‘XXXXX111’. DCR and
ECR are reset to ‘0000XXXX’ and ‘00000001’ respectively.
6.3.1
PDR is located at offset 000h in the lower block. It is the
standard parallel port data register. Writing to this register
in mode 000 will drive data onto the parallel port data lines.
In all other modes the drivers may be tri-stated by setting
the direction bit in the DCR. Reads from this register return
the value on the data lines.
Parallel port data register ‘PDR’
6.3.2
A data byte written to this address will be interpreted as an
address if bit(7) is set, otherwise an RLE count for the next
data byte. Count = bit(6:0) + 1.
ECP FIFO Address / RLE
6.3.3
DSR is located at offset 001h in the lower block. It is a read
only register showing the current state of control signals
from the peripheral. Additionally in EPP mode, bit 0 is set
to ‘1’ when an operation times out (see section 6.1.3)
DSR[0]:
EPP mode: Timeout
logic 0
Timeout has not occurred.
logic 1
Timeout has occurred (Reading this bit clears it).
Other modes: Unused
This bit is permanently set to 1.
DSR[1]: Unused
This bit is permanently set to 1.
