Power 9000/9100:
The Power 9000 and 9100 have different memory and register layouts.
Also the different brands of Power9000/9100 boards all have different
Linear Aperture addresses, DAC access and special registers
The registers and video memory of the Power 9000 are mapped in a 4MB linear
memory block staring at M (typically 20000000h, 80000000h or A0000000h):
M+000000h - M+0FFFFFh (1MB) Non-Power 9000 use
M+100000h - M+1FFFFFh (1MB) Registers. The registers are 32bit and internally
stored in Big Endian format. Bits 16-18 of the
address are used to access the register with
different combinations of bit, byte and halfword
(16bit) swaps:
+00000h
+10000h Swap bits
+20000h Swap bytes
+30000h Swap bytes and bits
+40000h Swap Halfwords
+50000h Swap Halfwords and bits
+60000h Swap Halfwords and bytes
+70000h Swap Halfwords, bytes and bits
Bits 13-15 of the address appears to be ignored.
M+200000h - M+3FFFFFh (2MB) Video memory
The Power9100 has a more compact register layout where the registers are in
one 32Kbyte block, accessible either at A000h or in the Linear Aperture.
Swapping of bits/bytes/halfword are controlled from a register.
The registers below are shown as M+xxxh, where M+xxxh is the Power9100 address
(even if the register does not exist for the Power9100). The corresponding
Power9000 address can be found as:
Power9100 Power9000
0000h - 1FFFh 100000h - 101FFFh
2000h - 3FFFh 180000h - 181FFFh
4000h - 7FFFh No match
The swap flags are added to the Power9000 address in bits 16-18 (see above).
3C4h index 12h (R/W):
bit 0-1 Base Address. 0: None, 1: A0000000h, 2: 20000000h, 3: 80000000h
2 Should be 0
3 Should be 1
4 P9000 Enabled if set, disable if clear
5 HSync polarity. Positive if clear, negative if set
6 VSync polarity. Positive if clear, negative if set
7 W5186 (or other VGA) Enabled if set, disabled if clear
3CDh (R/W): Bank Register: (Viper)
bit 0-5 Bank number. Maps a 64K block of the 4MB linear block at A000h, thus:
00h - 0Fh Maps 64K of the non-Power 9000 block
10h - 1Fh Maps a 64K Register block
20h - 3Fh Maps 64K of the Video memory
Note: This register only exists in the Viper (non-PCI versions) and is
implemented by external logic.
XXXXh (R/W): PCI Bank Register (Viper PCI)
bit 1-6 Bank number. Maps a 64K block of the 4MB linear block at A000h, thus:
00h - 0Fh Maps 64K of the non-Power 9000 block
10h - 1Fh Maps a 64K Register block
20h - 3Fh Maps 64K of the Video memory
Note: This register only exists in the Viper PCI systems and is (probably?)
implemented by external logic.
The Base address for this register is found from Offset 14h in the PCI
configuration space.
9100h (R/W): "PCI index register" (9100)
bit 0-7 Selects the offset into the 256byte PCI configuration space accessed
at 9104h. This allows access to the PCI configuration space even in
non-PCI systems.
9104h (R/W): "PCI data register" (9100)
bit 0-7 Each access to this register reads or writes the byte from the PCI
configuration space selected by 9100h. This allows access to the PCI
configuration space even in non-PCI systems.
M+0004h D(R/W): System Configuration Register
bit 0-2 Power 9000 version number. Always 0 on the 9100
9 Pixel writes go to buffer 1 if set, buffer 0 if clear
10 Pixel reads go to buffer 1 if set, buffer 0 if clear
11 If set swaps bits within each 32 bit DWORD when accessing display
memory (similar to the bit swap for register accesses)
12 If set swaps bytes within each 32 bit DWORD when accessing display
memory (similar to the byte swap for register accesses)
13 If set swaps halfwords within each 32 bit DWORD when accessing
display memory (similar to the halfword swap for register accesses)
14-22 The width of a scanline in pixels is determined by adding the
result of the three 3bit fields (Bits 14-16, 17-19 and 20-22).
Each field selects: 0: 0, 1: 32, 2: 64, 3: 128, 4: 256, 5: 512,
6: 1024, 7: 2048. Thus a width of 1280 is achieved by having
one field with 0, one with 4 and one with 6 (0+256+1024 = 1280).
23 Must be 0
24 If set the Frame Buffer Controller has double load, normal if clear
25 Must be 0
26-28 (9100) Pixel Size. 0: 8bpp, 1: 16bpp, 2: 24bpp
29-20 (9100) Shift3. Fourth subfield for the scanline width in bits 14-22

by the Interrupt Enable register (M+0000Ch).

bit 0-9 The max time between memory refreshes in SYSCLK periods
M+018Ch D(R): Refresh Counter (rfcount)

case a refresh sequence is started.
M+198h W(?): (9100)
bit 12-15 Number of FIFo slots free ??
Note: Apparently the IBM RGB525 DAC requires a read or write of this register
for the last write to a DAC register at 200h-23Ch takes effect ?
M+200h - M+23Ch D(R/W): DAC regs 0-15 (9100)
bit 0-7 Each access to one of these registers causes a read or write of
the corresponding DAC register (200h is REG00, 210h is REG04...)
The IBM RGB525 DAC apparently requires a read or write of M+198h
after a write to a DAC register ? Usually the same value is
repeated in all four bytes (bits 0-7, 8-15, 16-23 and 24-31) ?
M+2000h D(R): Status Register

the clipping window
3 If set the requested quad is concave
4 If set an exception was encountered for a quad command, the
operation cannot be performed and must be done in software

operation cannot be performed and must be done in software
6 If set an exception was encountered for a pixel command, the
operation cannot be performed and must be done in software
7 If set a pick was detected. (This is a copy of the pick bit in the
interrupt register (M+0008h bit 2)).
30 If set the drawing engine is busy
31 If set a Quad or Blit operation can not be started
M+2004h D(R): Blit command
Note: Reading this register issues a Blit command using X[0]/Y[0] as the upper
left corner of the source, X[1]/Y[1] as the lower right corner of the
source, X[2]/Y[2] as the upper left corner of the destination and
X[3]/Y[3] as the lower right corner of the destination. The source and
destination areas must be the same size. If the destination is out of
range bit 5 of the Status Register (M+2000h) is set and the operation
must be done in software.
Bit 31 of the Status Register (M+2000h) should be tested before a Quad
operation is issued.
M+2008h D(R): Quad command
Note: Reading this register issues a Quad command using X[0-3],Y[0-3] as
coordinates. If the Quad defined by the coordinates id concave or one
(or more) of the coordinates is out of range bit 4 of the Status
Register (M+2000h) is set and the operation must be done in software.
Bit 31 of the Status Register (M+2000h) should be tested before a Quad
operation is issued.
M+200Ch D(W): Pixel8 command
M+2014h D(W): Next_pixels command

M+3000h - M+31FFh D(R/W): Device Coordinate Registers
bit 0-31 (Adr bit 3-4 = 1) 32bit X coordinate

0-15 (Adr bit 3-4 = 3) 16bit Y coordinate
16-31 (Adr bit 3-4 = 3) 16bit X coordinate
Note: When these registers are accessed the lower bits of address selects the
X/Y register and the form used as follows:
Address bits:
0-2 Should be 0
3-4 Selects the data: 1: 32bit X value, 2: 32bit Y value,
3: Y in lower 16 bits and X in upper 16 bits
5 If set the data (X/Y) is window relative (only valid for writes),
if clear the data is absolute
6-7 Selects the X/Y coordinate register:
0: X[0]/Y[0], 1: X[1]/Y[1], 2: X[2]/Y[2], 3: X[3]/Y[3]
Note: On the Power9000 these registers can probably also be accessed at
address: M+3400h - M+35FFh (M+181400h - M+1815FFh in Power9000 terms)
as bit 10 of the address is not decoded
M+3200h - M+33FFh D(W): Meta-Coordinate Pseudo regs
bit 0-31 (Adr bit 3-4 = 1) 32bit X coordinate
0-31 (Adr bit 3-4 = 2) 32bit Y coordinate
0-15 (Adr bit 3-4 = 3) 16bit Y coordinate
16-31 (Adr bit 3-4 = 3) 16bit X coordinate
Note: For these registers the data written is the coordinate(s) and the lower
bits of the address specify the drawing operation:
Address bits:
0-2 Should be 0
3-4 Selects the interpretation of the data written to the register.
1: 32bit X value, 2: 32bit Y value, 3: Y in lower 16 bits and
X in upper 16 bits
5 If set the coordinate is relative to the previous one, if clear
it is relative to the window offset
6-8 Type of operation. 0: Point, 1: Line, 2: Triangle,
3: Quadrilateral, 4: rectangle
Note: On the Power9000 these registers can probably also be accessed at
address: M+3600h - M+37FFh (M+181600h - M+1817FFh in Power9000 terms)
as bit 10 of the address is not decoded
