15 Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI)
The Serial Peripheral Interface resides in memory mapped space. This function contains
registers that allow for the setup and programming of devices that reside on the SPI
interface.
Note: All registers in this function (including memory-mapped registers) must be addressable
in byte, word, and DWord quantities. The software must always make register accesses
on natural boundaries (that is, DWord accesses must be on DWord boundaries; word
accesses on word boundaries, and so on) In addition, the memory-mapped register
space must not be accessed with the LOCK semantic exclusive-access mechanism. If
software attempts exclusive-access mechanisms to the SPI memory-mapped space,
the results are undefined.
15.1 Serial Peripheral Interface Memory Mapped
Configuration Registers
The SPI Host Interface registers are memory-mapped in the RCRB (Root Complex
Register Block) Chipset Register Space with a base address (SPIBAR) of 3800h and are
located within the range of 3800h to 39FFh. The address for RCRB are in the RCBA
Register (see Section 7.1.40). The individual registers are then accessible at SPIBAR +
Offset as indicated in the following table.
These memory mapped registers must be accessed in byte, word, or DWord quantities.
