This document provides information typically required for

development of the system BIOS and device drivers to properly

program the AMD-761 system controller configuration

registers. The document is organized as follows:

Section 1 provides an overview of the general BIOS

requirements for initializing the AMD-761 system controller

configuration registers.

Section 2 on page 9 contains a description of all AMD-761

system controller configuration registers.

Section 3 on page 149 contains additional information on

setup of the DDR SDRAM interface configuration registers.

Section 4 on page 185 contains additional information on

configuration of the power management features of the

AMD-761 system controller.

Section 5 on page 195 contains additional information on

setup of the PCI bus interface configuration registers.

Section 6 on page 205 contains additional information on

setup of the AGP interface configuration registers.

Section 7 on page 211 contains a list of recommended

settings for many of the

AMD-761 system controller

configuration registers.
