10.1.71 HPTC—High Precision Timer Configuration Register
Offset Address: 3404–3407h Attribute: R/W
Default Value: 00000000h Size: 32-bit
Bit Description
31:5 Reserved
4
Upper 128 Byte Lock (UL) — R/WLO.
0 = Bytes not locked.
1 = Bytes 38h–3Fh in the upper 128-byte bank of RTC RAM are locked and cannot be
accessed. Writes will be dropped and reads will not return any ensured data. Bit
reset on system reset.
3
Lower 128 Byte Lock (LL) — R/WLO.
0 = Bytes not locked.
1 = Bytes 38h–3Fh in the lower 128-byte bank of RTC RAM are locked and cannot be
accessed. Writes will be dropped and reads will not return any ensured data. Bit
reset on system reset.
2
Upper 128 Byte Enable (UE) — R/W.
0 = Bytes locked.
1 = The upper 128-byte bank of RTC RAM can be accessed.
1:0 Reserved
Bit Description
31:8 Reserved
7
Address Enable (AE) — R/W.
0 = Address disabled.
1 = The PCH will decode the High Precision Timer memory address range selected by
bits 1:0 below.
6:2 Reserved
1:0
Address Select (AS) — R/W. This 2-bit field selects 1 of 4 possible memory address
ranges for the High Precision Timer functionality. The encodings are:
00 = FED0_0000h – FED0_03FFh
01 = FED0_1000h – FED0_13FFh
10 = FED0_2000h – FED0_23FFh
11 = FED0_3000h – FED0_33FFh
