Preliminary
Revision ID (Actual Offset 0x4C)
This register shows the revision of the specification used to design the link interface. 
This register is hardwired with 0x13.
Link Frequency Registers (Actual Offsets 0x4D, 0x51)
There are two registers of this type, one for each link. In the HT specification this 
register is intended to control the frequency of the link transmit clock. However in the 
HyperTransport MegaCore function, the link transmit frequency is always four times 
the 
RxLnkClkD4
frequency (or when using the Shared Ref/Tx Clock option it is four
times
RefClk
) and the value of this register has no effect inside the MegaCore
function.

This register is a read/write register for compatibility with configuration software.

Description
2:0
Max Link Width In
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates the maximum width of the incoming side of the 
HyperTransport MegaCore function. The value is hardwired 
to 000 to indicate an 8-bit maximum.
3
Double Word Flow 
Control In 
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates that the device is capable of double word-based 
data buffer flow control. This bit is hardwired to zero.
6:4
Max Link Width 
Out
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates the maximum width of the Tx port of the 
HyperTransport MegaCore function. This bit is hardwired to 
indicate 8 bits.
7
Double Word Flow 
Control Out
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates that Tx is capable of double word flow control. This 
bit is hardwired to zero.
10:8
Link Width In
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates the actual width used by the link. This bit is 
hardwired to 000 because the MegaCore function does not 
have an automatic sizing module.
11
Double Word Flow 
Control In Enable
R/O
0
N/A
This bit indicates whether the double word flow control mode 
will be enabled. This bit is hardwired to zero because the 
MegaCore function does not provide this mode.
14:12 Link Width Out
R/O
0
N/A
Indicates the actual width used by the link. This bit is 
hardwired to 000 because the MegaCore function does not 
have automatic sizing module.
15
Double word Flow 
control Out Enable
R/O
0
N/A
This bit indicates whether the double word flow control mode 
will be enabled. This bit is hardwired to zero because the 
MegaCore function does not provide this mode.
