This bit is read accessible al-

operations have no effect. DWIO
is cleared by H_RESET and is

BREADE should be set to 1 when
the Am79C978 controller is used
in a PCI bus application to guar-
antee maximum performance.
This bit is read accessible al-
ways; write accessible only when
either the STOP or the SPND bit
is set. BREADE is cleared by
H_RESET and is not affected by
S_RESET or STOP.

The normal mode of operation is
when both bits 0 and 1 are set to
0 to select the Expansion ROM/
Flash. Setting bit 0 to 1 and bit 1
to 0 allows snooping of the inter-
nal MII-compatible bus to allow
External Address Detection Inter-
face (EADI). See Table 37 for de-
tails.
These bits are read accessible al-
ways, these bits can only be writ-
ten from the EEPROM unless a
write-enable bit, BCR2[13], is set.
PHYSEL [1:0] is cleared by
H_RESET and is not affected by

Reserved locations. These bits
are read accessible always; write
accessible only when either the
STOP or the SPND bit is set. Af-
ter H_RESET, the value in these
bits will be 001b. The setting of
these bits have no effect on any
Am79C978 controller’s function.

EEPROM Valid status bit. This bit
is read accessible only. PVALID
is read only; write operations
have no effect. A value of 1 in this
bit indicates that a PREAD opera-
tion has occurred, and that (1)
there is an EEPROM connected
to the Am79C978 controller inter-
face pins and (2) the contents
read from the EEPROM have
passed the checksum verification
