Parameter

Value

Description

Present (BAR0-BAR5) Enabled/Disabled Indicates whether or not this BAR is instantiated.
Type 32-bit address

64-bit address

Specifies 32- or 64-bit addressing.
Prefetchable Prefetchable

Non-prefetchable

Defining memory as Prefetchable allows data in the region to be fetched ahead anticipating that the requestor may require more data from the same region than was originally requested. If you specify that a memory is prefetchable, it must have the following 2 attributes:
  • Reads do not have side effects
  • Write merging is allowed

If you select 64-bit address, 2 contiguous BARs are combined to form a 64-bit BAR. You must set the higher numbered BAR to Disabled.

If the BAR TYPE of any even BAR is set to 64-bit memory, the next higher BAR supplies the upper address bits. The supported combinations for 64-bit BARs are {BAR1, BAR0}, {BAR3, BAR2}, {BAR4, BAR5}.

Size
