Datasheet  
A set of I/O accesses (other than ones used for configuration space access) are 
consumed by the internal graphics device if it is enabled. The mechanisms for internal 
graphics IO decode and the associated control is explained later. 
The I/O accesses (other than ones used for configuration space access) are forwarded 
normally to the DMI Interface bus. I/O writes are NOT posted. Memory writes to PCH 
are posted. 
The processor responds to I/O cycles initiated on DMI with an UR status. Upstream 
I/O cycles and configuration cycles should never occur. If one does occur, the request 
will route as a read to Memory address 000C_0000h so a completion is naturally 
generated (whether the original request was a read or write). The transaction will 
complete with an UR completion status. 
For IA-based processors, I/O reads that lie within 8-byte boundaries but cross 4-byte 
boundaries are issued from the CPU as 1 transaction. The processor will break this 
into 2 separate transactions. I/O writes that lie within 8-byte boundaries but cross 4-
byte boundaries are assumed to be split into 2 transactions by the CPU.

Memory Controller Decode Rules and Cross-Bridge 
Address Mapping 
VGAA = 000A_0000 – 000A_FFFF 
MDA = 000B_0000 – 000B_7FFF 
VGAB = 000B_8000 – 000B_FFFF 
MAINMEM = 0100_0000 to TOLUD 
HIGHMEM = 4 GB to TOM 
RECLAIMMEM = RECLAIMBASE to RECLAIMLIMIT 
1.2.10.1  Legacy VGA and I/O Range Decode Rules 
The legacy 128KB VGA memory range 000A_0000h-000B_FFFFh can be mapped to 
IGD (Device #2), and/or to the DMI Interface depending on the programming of the 
VGA steering bits. Priority for VGA mapping is constant in that the processor always 
decodes internally mapped devices first. Internal to the processor, decode precedence 
is always given to IGD. The processor always positively decodes internally mapped 
devices, namely the IGD. Subsequent decoding of regions mapped to the DMI 
Interface depends on the Legacy VGA configurations bits (VGA Enable).

Processor Register Introduction 
The CPU internal registers (I/O Mapped, Configuration, and PCI Express Extended 
Configuration registers) are accessible by the Host CPU. The registers that reside 
within the lower 256 bytes of each device can be accessed as Byte, Word (16-bit), or 
Dword (32-bit) quantities, with the exception of CONFIG_ADDRESS which can only be 
accessed as a Dword. All multi-byte numeric fields use "little-endian" ordering (i.e., 
lower addresses contain the least significant parts of the field). Registers which reside 
in bytes 256 through 4095 of each device may only be accessed using memory 
mapped transactions in Dword (32-bit) quantities.
