512 bytes (default)

128 bytes
010:

110:

111:
512 bytes
Maximum byte count is used by PI7C21P100 when generating read
requests on the secondary interface in response to a memory read
operation initiated on the primary interface which is in PCI mode and
bits[9:8], bits[7:6], or bits[5:4] are set to full prefetch.
Reset to 000
11
Enable Relaxed
Ordering
0:
Relaxed ordering is disabled in conventional PCI mode.
1:
At the primary interface, read completions that occur after the first
read completion are allowed to bypass posted writes and complete
with a higher priority in conventional PCI mode.
In PCI-X mode, the relaxed ordering bit in the attribute field will
take precedence. Reset to 0
10
Primary Special
Delayed Read Mode
Enable
command code changes.
1:
Allows any primary master to change memory command code
(MR, MRL, MRM) after it has received a retry. PI7C21P100 will
complete the memory read transaction and return data back to the
primary bus master if the address and byte enables are the same.
This bit is ignored in PCI-X mode. Reset to 0
9:8
Primary Read Prefetch
Mode
00:
One cache line prefetch if memory read address is in the
prefetchable range at the primary interface
01:
Reserved
10:
Full prefetch if memory read address is in the prefetchable range
at the primary interface.
11:
Disconnect on the first DWORD.
These bits are ignored in PCI-X mode. Reset to 00
7:6
Primary Read Line
Prefetch Mode
00:
One cache line prefetch if memory read line address is in
prefetchable range at the primary interace
01:
Reserved
10:
Full prefetch if memory read multiple address is in prefetchable
range at the primary interface
11:
Reserved.
These bits are ignored if the primary interface is in PCI-X mode.
5:4
Primary Read Multiple
Prefetch Mode
00:
One cache line prefetch if memory read multiple address is in
prefetchable range at the primary interface.
01:
Reserved.
10:
Full prefetch if memory read multiple address is in prefetchable
range at the primary interface.
11:
Reserved.
These bits are ignored if the primary interface is in PCI-X mode.
