8.41 Asynchronous Context Command Pointer Register

The asynchronous context command pointer register contains a pointer to the address of the first descriptor block
that the PCI7x21/PCI7x11 controller accesses when software enables the context by setting bit 15 (run) in the
asynchronous context control register (see Section 8.40) to 1. See Table 8−32 for a complete description of the
register contents.

DESCRIPTION

31−4

descriptorAddress

RWU

Contains the upper 28 bits of the address of a 16-byte aligned descriptor block.

3−0

Z

RWU

Indicates the number of contiguous descriptors at the address pointed to by the descriptor address.
If Z is 0, then it indicates that the descriptorAddress field (bits 31−4) is not valid.
