AD1816A Plug and Play Device Configuration Registers

The AD1816A may be configured according to the Intel/Microsoft Plug and Play Specification using the internal ROM. Alterna-

tively, the PnP configuration sequence may be bypassed using the “Alternate Key Sequence” described in Appendix A.

The operating system configures the AD1816A Plug and Play Logical Devices after system boot. There are no “boot-devices” among

the Plug and Play Logical Devices in the AD1816A. Non-Plug and Play BIOS systems configure the AD1816A’s Logical Devices

after boot using drivers. Depending on BIOS implementations, Plug and Play BIOS systems may configure the AD1816A’s Logical

Devices before POST or after Boot. See the Plug and Play ISA Specification Version 1.0a for more information on configuration con-

trol. To complete this configuration, the system reads resource data from the AD1816A’s on-chip resource ROM or optional

EEPROM and from any other Plug and Play cards in the system, and then arbitrates the configuration of system resources with a

heuristic algorithm. The algorithm maximizes the number of active devices and the acceptability of their configurations.

The system considers all Plug and Play logical device resource data at the same time and makes a conflict-free assignment of re-

sources to the devices. If the system cannot assign a conflict-free resource to a device, the system does not configure or activate the

device. All configured devices are activated.

The system’s Plug and Play support selects all necessary drivers, starts them and maintains a list of system resources allocated to each

logical device. As an option, system resources can be reassigned at runtime with a Plug and Play Resource Manager. The custom

setup created using the manager can be saved and used automatically on subsequent system boots.

Plug and Play Device IDs (embedded in the logical device’s resource data) provide the system with the information required to find

and load the correct device drivers. One custom driver, the AD1816A Sound System driver from Analog Devices, is required for cor-

rect operation. In the other cases (MIDI, Game Port), the system can use generic drivers. Table III lists the AD1816A’s Logical

Devices and compatible Plug and Play device drivers.

The configuration process for the logical devices on the AD1816A is described in the Plug and Play ISA Specification Version 1.0a

(May 5, 1994). The specification describes how to transfer the logical devices from their start-up Wait For Key state to the Config

state and how to assign I/O ranges, interrupt channels and DMA channels. See Appendix A for an example setup program and spe-

cific Plug and Play resource data.

Table IV describes in detail the I/O Port Address Descriptors, DMA Channels, Interrupts for the functions required for the

AD1816A Logical Device groups.
