6.5.2.1. eSPI Status Register

This status register reflects the status of the eSPI agent IP. You can access this register using the GET_STATUS command through eSPI interface. You can also access this register via Avalon® memory-mapped interface by asserting the read request with an Avalon® memory-mapped interface 00h address.

During the response phase, the status field is always returned to the eSPI host. The received command is only decoded after the deassertion of espi_cs_n signal. Therefore, the implementation effect of a queued command is reflected in the status of the subsequent transaction.

The eSPI status register bits are read-only and cleared by espi_reset_n.
