Reset timing measurements

  • Time from !RESET going low to address bus asserted to 0: 71.32us

  • Time from !RESET going low to RD asserted to 0 for the first time: 72.55us

  • Time between address bus asserted to 0 and RD asserted to 0 the first time: 1.23us

  • Time between RD going low and BIOS chip emitting the proper byte out: 40ns

  • Time between two BIOS reads at boot time: ~550ns

  • Time between two BIOS or PIO reads after bus timings being set: ~175ns

Default PIO timings

The default bus timing settings is 3 cycles for Reads, and 15 cycles for Writes.

Bus timings 0:

  • ~25ns RD and WR strobe time
  • ~60ns CS strobe time

Bus timings 1:

  • ~50ns RD and WR strobe time
  • ~85ns CS strobe time

Bus timings 2:

  • ~75ns RD and WR strobe time
  • ~110ns CS strobe time
