CIM_PCIController

Class reference

Subclass of CIM_Controller

PCIController is a superclass for the PCIBridge and PCIDevice classes. These classes model adapters and bridges on a PCI bus. The properties in PCIController and its subclasses are defined in the various PCI Specifications that are published by the PCI SIG.

Local properties

uint16 InterruptPin

Defines the PCI interrupt request pin (INTA# to INTD#) to which a PCI functional device is connected.

0 None
1 INTA#
2 INTB#
3 INTC#
4 INTD#
5 Unknown

uint16[] Capabilities

An array of integers that indicates controller capabilities. Information such as “Supports 66MHz” (value=2) is specified in this property. The data in the Capabilities array is gathered from the PCI Status Register and the PCI Capabilities List as defined in the PCI Specification.

boolean SelfTestEnabled

Reports if the PCI device can perform the self-test function. Returns bit 7 of the BIST register as a Boolean.

uint8 LatencyTimer

Defines the minimum amount of time, in PCI clock cycles, that the bus master can retain ownership of the bus.

uint16 DeviceSelectTiming

The slowest device-select timing for a target device.

5 Reserved

uint16 CommandRegister

Current contents of the register that provides basic control over the ability of the device to respond to or perform PCI accesses.

string[] CapabilityDescriptions

An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations for any of the PCIController features that are indicated in the Capabilities array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Capabilities array that is located at the same index.

uint32 ExpansionROMBaseAddress

Doubleword Expansion ROM-base memory address.

uint8 CacheLineSize

Specifies the system cache line size in doubleword increments (for example, a 486-based system would store the value 04h, indicating a cache line size of four doublewords.

uint8 ClassCode

Register of 8 bits that identifies the basic function of the PCI device. This property is only the upper byte (offset 0Bh) of the 3-byte ClassCode field. Note that the ValueMap array of the property specifies the decimal representation of this information.

Local methods

uint8 BISTExecution ()

Method to invoke PCI device self-test. This method sets bit 6 of the BIST register. The return result is the lower 4 bits of the BIST register where 0 indicates success and non-zero is a device-dependent failure. Support for this method is optional in the PCI Specification.

Parameters

None
