This architecture and process technology provide a highly compatible, high-performance, low-cost, and low-power consumption solution for mobile computing markets. The VIA C3-M processor is available at several operating frequencies. When considered individually, the compatibility, function, performance, cost, and power dissipation of the VIA C3-M processor family are all very competitive. When considered as a whole, the VIA C3-M processor family offers a breakthrough level of value. 1.1 DATASHEET OUTLINE The intent of this datasheet is to make it easy for a direct user—a board designer, a system designer, or a BIOS developer—to use the VIA C3-M processor. Section 1 of the datasheet summarizes the key features of the VIA C3-M processor. Section 2. specifies the primary programming interface Section 3. does the same for the bus interface. Sections 4, 5, and 6 specify the classical datasheet topics of AC timings, ballouts, and mechanical specifications. Section 7 documents the VIA C3-M processor machine specific registers (MSRs). 1.2 BASIC FEATURES With its very low power dissipation, the VIA C3-M processor is ideally suited for mobile applications. All versions share the following common features (except as noted): � World’s fasted AES encryption using the Advanced Cryptography Engine (ACE) � PowerSaver provides multiple CPU performance states for enhanced battery life � Software-compatible with thousands of x86 software applications available September 2004 Datasheet 7 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet � MMX-compatible instructions � SSE-compatible instructions � Two large (64-KB each, 2-way) Level 1 caches � 64-KB Level 2 victim cache (16-way) � Two large TLBs (128 entries each, 8-way) � Branch Target Address Cache with 1k entries each identifying 2 branches � Unique and sophisticated branch prediction mechanisms � Bus speeds up to 200 MHz � Extremely low power dissipation 2 � Very small die-47 mm in TSMC 0.13µ technology � Enhance Ball Grid Array Package (368 balls) 1.3 PROCESSOR VERSIONS Typically, there are five specification parameters that characterize different versions of a processor family: package, voltage, maximum case temperature, external bus speed, and internal MHz. The VIA C3-M processor family is delivered in an EBGA package. The initial processor core voltage is defined by VID pins. After powerup, PowerSaver can dynamically adjust the processor core voltage. The internal operating frequency (MHz) of a particular VIA C3-M processor is defined by two parameters: the specified external bus speed and the internal bus-clock multiplier. VIA C3-M processors operate the bus at 200 MHz or lower. The bus-clock multiplier is also initially configured by motherboard strapping options. PowerSaver al- lows the dynamic adjustment of the processor’s operating frequency. Several different clock-multiplier versions are currently offered. � The VIA C3-M processor is initially available at these speed grades: • 1.40 GHz (7.0 x 200-MHz bus) • 1.40 GHz (10.5 x 133-MHz bus) • 1.30 GHz (6.5 x 200-MHz bus) • 1.33 GHz (10.0 x 133-MHz bus) • 1.20 GHz (6.0 x 200-MHz bus) • 1.20 GHz (9.0 x 133-MHz bus) • 1.13 GHz (8.5 x 133-MHz bus) • 1.00 GHz (7.5 x 133-MHz bus) • LV 1.00 GHz (7.5x133-MHz bus) � Future versions of the VIA C3-M processor may provide other speed grades, bus speed combina- tions and different core voltages. More information on these topics is included in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this datasheet. 8 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet 1.4 COMPATIBILITY A VIA C3-M processor has a unique footprint. Experienced system designers will find the bus protocol and electrical characteristics familiar to prior Eden processors. Currently, BIOS support for the VIA C3- M processor is available from Award, AMI, Phoenix, and Insyde. The VIA C3-M processor integrates termination of bus signals. Physical and bus compatibility is covered in more detail in Section 4 of this datasheet. The VIA C3-M processor supports SSE instructions for better video, audio, and faster 3D graphics. Other software functions are provided and are identified to software with the CPUID instruction. The VIA C3- M processor carefully follows the protocol for defining the availability of these optional features. Both the additional and omitted optional features are covered in more detail in Section 2 of this datasheet. To verify compatibility of the VIA C3-M processor with real PC applications and hardware, VIA has per- formed extensive testing of boards and peripherals, thousands of software applications, and over forty operating systems.

These differences fall into three groups: September 2004 Datasheet 11 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet � Implementation-specific differences. Examples are cache and TLB testing features, and perform- ance monitoring features that expose the internal implementation features. These types of functions are incompatible among all different x86 implementations. � Omitted functions. Some Intel Celeron processor functions are not provided on the VIA C3-M processor because they are not used or are not needed in the targeted PC systems. Examples are some specific bus functions such as functional redundancy checking and performance monitoring. Other examples are architectural extensions such as support for Physical Address Extensions, and JTAG boundary scan. These types of differences are similar to those among various versions of the processors. The CPUID instruction is used by system software to determine whether these features are supported. � Low-level behavioral differences. A few low-level VIA C3-M processor functions are different from Intel Celeron because the results are (1) documented in the documentation as undefined, and (2) known to be different for different x86 implementations. That is, compatibility with the Intel Celeron processor for these functions is clearly not needed for software compatibility (or they would not be different across different implementations). This chapter summarizes the first three types of differences: additional functions, implementation-specific functions, and omitted functions. Section 7 contains more details on machine-specific functions. 2.2 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS The VIA C3-M processor includes a suite of security technologies called Padlock. One Padlock feature is called the Advanced Cryptography Engine (ACE) and provides a high performance implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as specified by the US Government. VIA C3-M processors also extend Padlock by including two separate Random Number Generators. Advanced Cryptography Engine: ACE Padlock's Advanced Cryptography Engine provides the world’s fastest AES encryption implementation. Wherever AES software encryption implementations are used today, it can be optimized for ACE with minimal effort. World class AES performance is a user-level instruction away as only one opcode handles encrypt and decrypt functions. See the Padlock ACE programming guide for further details. Random Number Generator: RNG VIA C3-M processors incorporate two random number generators on the processors die for a fast source of entropy. See the Padlock RNG programming guide for further details. 12 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet 2.3 MACHINE-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS 2.3.1 GENERAL All x86 processor implementations provide a variety of machine-specific functions. Examples are cache and TLB testing features and performance monitoring features that expose the internal implementation features. This section describes the VIA C3-M processor machine-specific functions that are most likely used by software, and compares them to related processors where applicable. Section 7 describes the these ma- chine-specific registers (MSRs). This section covers those features of Intel Pentium-compatible processors that are used to commonly identify and control processor features. All Pentium-compatible processors have the same mechanisms, but the bit-specific data values often differ. 2.3.2 STANDARD CPUID INSTRUCTION FUNCTIONS The CPUID instruction is available on all contemporary x86 processors. The CPUID instruction has two standard functions requested via the EAX register. The first function returns a vendor identification string in registers EBX, ECX, and EDX. The second CPUID function returns an assortment of bits in EAX and EDX that identify the chip version and describe the specific features available. See the following table. Table 2-1.

The CMPXCHG8B instruction is provided and always enabled, however, it can be disabled in the correspond- ing CPUID function bit 8 to avoid a bug in an early version of Windows NT. However, this default can be changed via bit 1 in the FCR MSR. 2. The VIA C3-M processor’s support for Page Global Enable can be enabled or disabled by a bit in the FCR. The CPUID bit reports the current setting of this enable control. 2.3.3 EXTENDED CPUID INSTRUCTION FUNCTIONS The VIA C3-M processor supports extended CPUID functions. These functions provide additional infor- mation about the VIA C3-M processor. Extended CPUID functions are requested by executing CPUID with EAX set to any value in the range 0x80000000 through 0x80000006. 14 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet The following table summarizes the extended CPUID functions. Table 2-3.

Processor Signature and Feature Flags (EAX==0x80000001) Returns processor version information in EAX. Processor Name String (EAX==0x80000002–0x80000004) Returns the name of the processor, suitable for BIOS to display on the screen (ASCII). The string can be up to 48 characters in length. If the string is shorter, the rightmost characters are padded with zero. The leftmost characters go in EAX, then EBX, ECX, and EDX. The leftmost character goes in least signifi- cant byte (little endian). For example, the string “VIA Nehemiah” would be returned by extended function EAX=0x80000002 as follows: EAX = 0x20414956 EBX = 0x6568654E ECX = 0x6861696D EDX = 0x00000000 Since the string is less than 17 bytes, the extended functions EAX=0x80000003 and EAX=0x80000004 return zero in EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX. L1 Cache Information (EAX == 0x80000005) Returns information about the implementation of the TLBs and caches: September 2004 Datasheet 15 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet Table 2-4.

These functions provide additional informa- tion about the VIA C3-M processor. Centaur CPUID functions are requested by executing CPUID with EAX set to 0xC0000000 or 0xC0000001. 16 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet Table 2-6.

These features are identified by the standard CPUID function EAX=1. Other machine-specific features are controlled by MSRs. Some of these features are not backward-compatible with the predecessors in the VIA processor family. System software must not assume that all future processors in the VIA processor family will implement all of the same machine-specific features, or even that these features will be implemented in a backward- compatible manner. In order to determine if the processor supports particular machine-specific features, system software should follow the following procedure. Identify the processor as a member of the VIA processor family by checking for a Vendor Identification String of “CentaurHauls” using CPUID with EAX=0. Once this has been verified, system software must determine the processor version in order to properly configure the machine-specific registers. September 2004 Datasheet 17 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet In general system software can determine the processor version by comparing the Family and Model Identification fields returned by the CPUID standard, extended, or Centaur extended functions. If the processor version is not recognized then system software must not attempt to activate any machine- specific feature. 2.3.6 EDX VALUE AFTER RESET. After reset the EDX register holds a component identification number as follows: 31:14 13:12 11:8 7:4 3:0 EDX Reserved Type ID Family ID Model ID Stepping ID 18 2 4 4 4 The specific values for the VIA C3-M processor are listed here: PROCESSOR TYPE ID FAMILY ID MODEL ID STEPPING ID VIA C3-M 0 6 9 Begins at 8 2.3.7 CONTROL REGISTER 4 (CR4) Control register 4 (CR4) controls some of the advanced features of the Celeron processor.

A “0” means that the bit is always 0; it cannot be set. An “r” means that this bit is reserved. It appears as a 0 when read, and a GP exception is signaled if an attempt is made to write a 1 to this bit. 1. The VIA C3-M processor Machine Check has different specifics than the Machine Check function of compati- ble processors. 18 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet 2.3.8 MACHINE-SPECIFIC REGISTERS The VIA C3-M processor implements the concept of Machine Specific Registers (MSRs). RDMSR and WRMSR instructions are provided and the CPUID instruction identifies that the processor supports MSRs. In general, the MSRs have no usefulness to application or operating system software and are not used. (This is to be expected since the MSRs are different on each processor.) Section 7 contains a detailed de- scription of the VIA C3-M processor’s MSRs. 2.4 OMITTED FUNCTIONS This section summarizes those functions that are not in the VIA C3-M processor. A bit in the CPUID fea- ture flags indicates whether these feature are present or not.

The majority of the balls within the bus interface are involved with the physical memory and I/O interface. The remaining balls are power and ground pins, test and debug support balls, and various ancillary con- trol functions. The balls and associated functions are listed and described in this section. Bus-to-Core Frequency Ratio Control The VIA C3-M processor supports both fixed and software control of the bus-to-core frequency ratio. At reset, the fixed ratio is used from motherboard strapping options (BR[4:0] signals). Although unsupported on non-PowerSaver processors, this ratio may be adjusted via software using the PowerSaver extensions (documented separately). This adjustment lasts until the next reset. Bus Frequency Selection The VIA C3-M processor bus frequency is provided by the motherboard through motherboard strapping options. The VIA C3-M processor is designed to operate at bus frequencies of 66, 100, 133, or 200 MHz. 3.1.1 CLARIFICATIONS Power Supply Voltage The voltage provided to the processor core is accomplished through VID pins. The VIA C3-M processor expects a voltage mapping corresponding to a mobile VRM like the Maxim 1718. Table 3-1 indicates the voltage range.

Thermal Monitoring An on-die thermal diode supports thermal monitoring via the THERMDN and THERMDP pins. Advanced Peripheral Interrupt Controller (APIC) The APIC is supported by the VIA C3-M processor. Even if the APIC functionality is not desired, the PICCLK, PICD0, and PICD1 balls must be connected. 3.1.2 OMISSIONS Breakpoint and Performance Monitoring Signals The VIA C3-M processor internally supports instruction and data breakpoints. However, the processor does not support the external indication of breakpoint matches. Similarly, the VIA C3-M processor con- tains performance monitoring hooks internally, but it does not support the indication of performance monitoring events. Error Checking The VIA C3-M processor does not support error checking. There are no BERR#, BINIT#, AERR#, AP#[1:0], DEP#[7:0], IERR#, RP#, and RSP# balls. 22 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet 3.2 BALL DESCRIPTION Table 3-2. Ball Descriptions Ball Name Description I/O Clock A[31:3]# The address Bus provides addresses for physical memory and external I/O devices. I/O BCLK During cache inquiry cycles, A31#-A3# are used as inputs to perform snoop cycles. A20M# A20 Mask causes the CPU to make (force to 0) the A20 address bit when driving the I(1.5V) ASYNC external address bus or performing an internal cache access. A20M# is provided to emulate the 1 MByte address wrap-around that occurs on the 8086. Snoop addressing is not affected. ADS# Address Strobe begins a memory/I/O cycle and indicates the address bus (A31#-A3#) I/O BCLK and transaction request signals (REQ#) are valid. APICEN APICEN is a hardware strapping option that enables the APIC functionality when con- I None nected to ground. Otherwise the APIC is disabled. BCLK Bus Clock provides the fundamental timing for the VIA C3-M CPU. The frequency of the I(2.5V) -- VIA C3-M CPU input clock determines the operating frequency of the CPU’s bus. BCLKB For single ended clocking, external timing is referenced to the rising edge of BCLK.. For differential clocking, external timing is referenced to the crossing point of the rising edge of BCLK and the falling edge of BCLKB BNR# Block Next Request signals a bus stall by a bus agent unable to accept new transac- I/O BCLK tions. BPRI# Priority Agent Bus Request arbitrates for ownership of the system bus. I BCLK BR[4:0] Hardware strapping options for setting the processors internal clock multiplier. VIA C3- I M processors do not have their clock multiplier set to a factory default value. Use jumpers or populate 0Ω resistors to select the rated multiplier. The BR[4:0] balls should be wired to VSS for a value of “0” or wired to OPEN for setting of “1.” See Table 3-3 for ratio values. BREQ[1:0]# BREQ[1:0]# signals request access to the system bus. I/O None CFUSE1 Reserved. -- None D[63:0]# Data Bus signals are bi-directional signals which provide the data path between the VIA I/O BCLK C3-M CPU and external memory and I/O devices. The data bus must assert DRDY# to indicate valid data transfer. DBSY# Data Bus Busy is asserted by the data bus driver to indicate data bus is in use. I/O BCLK DEFER# Defer is asserted by target agent (e.g., north bridge) and indicates the transaction can- I BCLK not be guaranteed as an in-order completion. DRDY# Data Ready is asserted by data driver to indicate that a valid signal is on the data bus. I/O BCLK DVIDEN NC Enable C3-M Power Saver function I Vss Disable C3-M Power Saver function FERR# FPU Error Status indicates an unmasked floating-point error has occurred. FERR# is O(1.5V) ASYNC asserted during execution of the FPU instruction that caused the error. FLUSH# Flush Internal Caches writing back all data in the modified state. I(1.5V) ASYNC HIT# Snoop Hit indicates that the current cache inquiry address has been found in the cache I/O BCLK (exclusive or shared states). HITM# Snoop Hit Modified indicates that the current cache inquiry address has been found in I/O BCLK the cache and dirty data exists in the cache line (modified state). IGNNE# Ignore Numeric Error forces the VIA C3-M CPU to ignore any pending unmasked FPU I(1.5V) ASYNC errors and allows continued execution of floating point instructions. September 2004 Datasheet 23 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet Ball Name Description I/O Clock IERR# This signal is used for debugging purposes. It should be routed to a test point on the O(1.5V) ASYNC system board. INIT# Initialization resets integer registers and does not affect internal cache or floating point I(1.5V) ASYNC registers. INTR Indicates external interrupt. Becomes LINT0 when using the APIC. I(1.5V) ASYNC LOCK# Lock Status is used by the CPU to signal to the target that the operation is atomic. I/O BCLK NCHCTRL I ASYNC Control integrated I/O pull-ups. Connect this signal to VTT with a 14Ω resistor. NMI Indicates Non-Maskable Interrupt. Becomes LINT1 when using the APIC I(1.5V) ASYNC PICCLK APIC clock for operation with the system I/O APIC I APIC PICD[1:0] Bi-directional serial pins for communicating APIC messages to the system I/0 APIC PLL[2:1] Decoupled inputs for the processor’s internal PLL. I (Vcc) ASYNC PWRGD Indicates that the processor’s VCC is stable. I (1.5V) ASYNC REQ[4:0]# Request Command is asserted by bus driver to define current transaction type. I/O BCLK RESET# Resets the processor and invalidates internal cache without writing back. I BCLK RS[2:0]# Response Status signals the completion status of the current transaction when the I BCLK CPU is the response agent. RTTCTRL Control the output impedance on the on-die termination resistance. Connect this signal I ASYNC to VSS with a 56Ω resistor if relying upon on-die termination. Connect this signal to VSS with a 110Ω resistor if relying upon board termination. SLP# Sleep, when asserted in the stop grant state, causes the CPU to enter the sleep state. I(1.5V) ASYNC SMI# System Management (SMM) Interrupt forces the processor to save the CPU state to I(1.5V) ASYNC the top of SMM memory and to begin execution of the SMI services routine at the be- ginning of the defined SMM memory space. An SMI is a high-priority interrupt than NMI. STPCLK# Stop Clock causes the CPU to enter the stop grant state. I(1.5V) ASYNC THERMDN The anode/cathode pair of an on-chip thermal diode for measuring the processor core O None temperature. THERMDP TRDY# Target Ready indicates that the target is ready to receive a write or write-back transfer I BCLK from the CPU.

The VIA C3-M processor supports five power management states: NORMAL, QUICKSTART, SLEEP, DEEP SLEEP, and DEEPER SLEEP state. The VIA C3-M processor uses dynamic power management techniques to reduce power consumption in the NORMAL state. In NORMAL state, the on-chip arrays, selected datapaths, and the associated control logic are powered down when not in use. Also, units that are in use attempt to minimize switching of in- active nodes. � NORMAL state is the normal operating state for the processor. � QUICKSTART state is the low power state where most of the processor clocks do not toggle. It is entered when the STPCLK# signal is asserted or when the processor executes the HALT instruc- tion. Snoop cycles are supported in this state. � SLEEP state is the low power state where only the processor's PLL (phase lock loop) toggles. It is entered from STOP GRANT state when the processor samples the SLP# signal asserted. Snoop cy- cles that occur while in SLEEP state or during a transition into or out of SLEEP state will cause unpredictable behavior. � DEEP SLEEP state is a very low power state. It is entered when the BCLK signal is stopped while the processor is in the SLEEP state. Snoop cycles are completely ignored in this state. � DEEPER SLEEP state is the lowest power state. It is entered when the processor core voltage is lowered while the processor is in the DEEP SLEEP state. Snoop cycles are completely ignored in this state.

PowerSaver technology allows the dynamic adjustment of the operating frequency and operating voltage. System software can use PowerSaver to request the sufficient amount of performance. Each individual perform- ance state (P-State) is described in the system bios according to 8.3.3 of the ACPI 2.0 specification. See the PowerSaver programming guideline for further details. 3.5 TEST & DEBUG 3.5.1 BIST A Built-in Self-Test (BIST) can be requested as part of the VIA C3-M processor reset sequence by hold- ing INIT# asserted as RESET# is de-asserted. The VIA C3-M processor BIST performs the following general functions: � A hardware-implemented exhaustive test of (1) all internal microcode ROM, and (2) the X86 in- struction decode, instruction generation, and entry point generation logic. � An extensive microcode test of all internal registers and datapaths. � An extensive microcode test of data and instruction caches, their tags, and associated TLBs. BIST requires about four million internal clocks. EAX Value After Reset The result of a BIST is indicated by a code in EAX. Normally EAX is zero after reset. If a BIST is re- quested as part of the Reset sequence, EAX contains the BIST results. A 0 in EAX after BIST Reset means that no failures were detected. Any value other than zero indicates an error has occurred during BIST. 3.5.2 JTAG The VIA C3-M processor has a JTAG scan interface that is used for test functions and the proprietary Debug Port. However, the VIA C3-M processor does not provide a fully compatible IEEE 1149.1 JTAG function. From a practical user viewpoint, JTAG does not exist and the associated pins (TCLK, and so forth) should not be used. 3.5.3 DEBUG PORT Certain processors have a proprietary Debug Port that uses the JTAG scan mechanism to control internal debug features (“probe mode”). The VIA C3-M processor does not have a debug interface.

Maximum power is generated from running publicly available application software that consumes the most power. Synthetic applications or “thermal virus” applications may consume more power. 2. TDP Max is average value of all processors while running the worst case instruction sequence. Not 100% guaranteed or tested. Consider these power numbers as an average of all parts and some deviation is ex- pected. 3. The above power consumption is preliminary and based on case temperature as noted. 4. All normal mode frequencies use 133MHz as the CPU clock frequency. 5. Conservative thermal solutions must be designed to account for worst-case core and I/O power consumption.

Op- eration outside of this range will result in functional failures and may potentially damage the device. Care must be taken to ensure that the case temperature remains within the specified range at all times dur- ing operation. An effective heat sink with adequate airflow is therefore a requirement during operation. 6.2 TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTS Typical thermal solutions involve three components: a heat sink, an interface material between the heat sink and the package, and a source of airflow. The best thermal solutions rely on the use of all three com- ponents. To the extent that any of these components are not used, the other components must be improved to compensate for such omission. In particular, the use of interface material such as thermal grease, silicone paste, or graphite paper can make a 40°C difference in the case temperature. Likewise, the imposition of airflow is realistically a requirement. 6.3 MEASURING T C The case temperature (T ) should be measured by attaching a thermocouple to the center of the VIA C3- C M package. The heat produced by the processor is very localized so measuring the case temperature any- where else will underestimate the case temperature. The presence of a thermocouple is inherently invasive; effort must be taken to minimize the effect of the measurement. The thermocouple should be attached to the processor through a small hole drilled in the September 2004 Datasheet 61 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet heat sink. Thermal grease should be used to ensure that the thermocouple makes good contact with the package, but the thermocouple should not come in direct contact with the heat sink. Physical Test Conditions Case temperature measurements should be made in the worst case operating environments. Ideally, sys- tems should be maximally configured, and tested at the worst-case ambient temperature. Test Patterns During normal operation the processor attempts to minimize power consumption. Consequently, normal power consumption is much lower than the maximum power consumption. Thermal testing should be done while running software which causes the processor to operate at its thermal limits. 6.4 MEASURING T J The junction temperature of the die can be measured by using the processor’s on-chip diode. 6.5 ESTIMATING T C The VIA C3-M processor’s case temperature can be estimated based on the general characteristics of the thermal environment. This estimate is not intended as a replacement for actual measurement. Case temperature can be estimated where, T ≡ Ambient Temperature A T ≡ Case Temperature C θ ≡ case-to-ambient thermal resistance CA θ ≡ junction-to-ambient thermal resistance JA θ ≡ junction-to-case thermal resistance () JC P ≡ power consumption (Watts) and, The EBGA with heat spreader has θ =0.9ºC/W. JC T = T + (P * θ ) J C JC T = T – (P * θ ) A J JA T = T – (P * θ ) A C CA θ = θ – θ CA JA JC 62 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet SECTION MACHINE SPECIFIC REGISTERS 7.1 GENERAL Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 summarize the VIA C3-M processor machine-specific registers (MSRs). Further description of each MSR follows the table. MSRs are read using the RDMSR instruction and written us- ing the WRMSR instruction. There are four basic groups of MSRs (not necessarily with contiguous addresses). Other than as defined below, a reference to an undefined MSR causes a General Protection exception. 1. Generally these registers can have some utility to low-level programs (like BIOS). Note that some of the MSRs (address 0 to 0x4FF) have no function in the VIA C3-M processor. These MSRs do not cause a GP when used on the VIA C3-M processor; instead, reads to these MSRs return zero, and writes are ignored. Some of these undocumented MSRs may have ill side ef- fects when written to indiscriminately. Do not write to undocumented MSRs. 2. There are some undocumented internal-use MSRs used for low-level hardware testing purposes. At- tempts to read or write these undocumented MSRs cause unpredictable and disastrous results; so don’t use MSRs that are not documented in this datasheet! 3. MSRs used for cache and TLB testing. These use MSR addresses that are not used on compatible processor. These test functions are very low-level and complicated to use. They are not documented in this datasheet but the information will be provided to customers given an appropriate justification MSRs are not reinitialized by the bus INIT interrupt; the setting of MSRs is preserved across INIT.

The CTR1_Event_Select control field defines which of several possible events is counted. The possible Event Select values for PERFCTR1 are listed in the table below. Note that CTR1_Event_Select is a 9-bit field. The EVNTSEL1 register should be written before PERFCTR1 is written to initialize the counter. The counts are not necessarily perfectly exact; the counters are intended for use over a large number of events and may differ by one or two counts from what might be expected. Most counter events are internal implementation-dependent debug functions, having no meaning to soft- ware. The counters that can have end-user utility are: EVENT DESCRIPTION C0h Instructions executed 1C0h Instructions executed and string iterations 79h Internal clocks (default event for CTR0) 7.3 CATEGORY 2 MSRs 1107H: FCR (FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER) The FCR controls the major optional feature capabilities of the VIA C3-M processor. Table 7-4 contains the bit values for the FCR. The default settings shown for the FCR bits are not necessarily exact. The ac- tual settings can be changed as part of the manufacturing process and thus a particular VIA C3-M processor version can have slightly different default settings than shown here. All reserved bit values of the FCR must be preserved by using a read-modify-write sequence to update the FCR. 68 Datasheet September 2004 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet Table 7-4.

The instruction actually exists and operates correctly, however. 1 = The CPUID instruction reports that the CMPXCHG8B instruction is supported (CX8 = 1). DSTPCLK: 0 = STPCLK interrupt properly supported. 1 = Ignores SPCLK interrupt. EPGE: 0 = The processor does not support Page Global Enable and therefore CPUID Feature Flags reports EDX[13]=0; attempts to set CR4.PGE are ignored. 1 = The processor supports Page Global Enable and therefore CPUID Feature Flags re- ports EDX[13]=1; CR4.PGE can be set to 1. DL2: 0 = L2 Cache enabled. 1 = L2 Cache disabled. EBRPRED: 0 = Disables branch prediction function. 1 = Enables branch prediction function. DIC: 0 = Enables use of I-Cache. 1 = Disables use of I-Cache: cache misses are performed as single transfer bus cycles, PCD is de-asserted. This overrides any setting of CR0.CD and CR0.NW. September 2004 Datasheet 69 VIA C3-M Processor Datasheet DDC: 0 = Enables use of D-Cache. 1 = Disables use of D-Cache: same semantics as for DIC except for D-Cache. 1108H: FCR2 (FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER 2) This MSR contains more feature control bits — many of which are undefined. It is important that all re- served bits are preserved by using a read-modify-write sequence to update the MSR. 63:32 Last 4 characters of Alternate Vendor ID string 31:15 14 13:12 11:8 7:4 3:0 Reserved AVS Res Family ID Model ID Res 17 1 2 4 4 4 AVS: 0 = The CPUID instruction vendor ID is “CentaurHauls” 1 = The CPUID instruction returns the alternate Vendor ID. The first 8 characters of the alternate Vendor ID are stored in FCR3 and the last 4 characters in FCR2[63:32]. These 12 characters are undefined after RESET and may be loaded by system software using WRMSR. Family ID: This field will be returned as the family ID field by subsequent uses of the CPUID in- struction Model ID: This field will be returned as the model ID field by subsequent uses of the CPUID in- struction 1109H: FCR (FEATURE CONTROL REGISTER 3) This MSR contains the first 8 characters of the alternate Vendor ID. The alternate Vendor ID is returned by the CPUID instruction when FCR2[AVS] is set to ‘1’. FCR3 is a write-only MSR. 63:32 First 4 characters of Alternate Vendor ID string 31:0 Middle 4 characters of Alternate Vendor ID string 70 Datasheet September 2004

Frequently asked questions

How does Industrial Trading differ from its competitors?

chervon down
Industrial Trading' parent company, GID Industrial, specializes in procuring industrial parts. We know where to find the rare and obsolete equipment that our customers need in order to get back to business. There are other companies who claim to do what we do, but we're confident that our commitment to quality and value is unparalleled in our field.

Is there a warranty for the C3-M Mobile?

chervon down
