2.10.8 IP Memory Size Control
After a board reset the IP Memory Size is set to 8 MB linear address space by default. By setting Bit 3
of the IP Slot Control register (Memory size bit) the linear addressable memory space can be reduced
from 8 MB to 1 MB.
If 1 MB is selected the whole IP memory address space of 8 MB is available further on. The currently
used memory page (1-of-8 1MB pages) is determined by the memory page bits within the Slot Control
register (Bit 2-0).
Note: This feature is implemented for compatibility reasons to further IP Carrier boards with reduced
address space.

IPa:
IPb:
Note: Whether 1 or 8 MByte memory address space is selected depends on the memory size bit within
the IP slot control register. Depending on the memory size bit, the memory page bits are relevant or not.
Default is 8 MByte, not paged.
