6.3 Extended Capabilities Parallel (ECP) Port
This
standard printer mode if ECP is not required. It provides an automatic high burst-bandwidth channel that
supports DMA for ECP in both the forward (host to peripheral) and reverse (peripheral to host) directions.
Small FIFOs are used in both forward and reverse directions to improve the maximum bandwidth
requirement. The size of the FIFO is 16 bytes. The ECP port supports an automatic handshake for the
standard parallel port to improve compatibility mode transfer speed.
The ECP port supports run-length-encoded (RLE) decompression (required) in hardware. Compression is
accomplished by counting identical bytes and transmitting an RLE byte that indicates how many times
the next byte is to be repeated. Hardware support for compression is optional.
For more information about the ECP Protocol, refer to the Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA
Interface Standard.
6.3.1 ECP Register and Mode Definitions
Note: The base addresses are specified by CR23, which are determined by configuration register or hardware setting.
Note: The mode selection bits are bit 7-5 of the Extended Control Register.
