Posted on March 02, 2004 at 13:15To disable the Atlas USB, you can disconnect the USB device on the PCI bus for all accesses expect configuration accesses. Therefore, to disable the USB from the PCI accesses bus, you need just to write 0 in the USB BRIDGE PCI COMMAND REGISTER. You will find a detailed description of this register in the programming manual of atlas available on the web.
With the programing manual version 1.0, this register has a different definition. It looks like these bits are now read-write thus the accesses can be disabled and the various OS detection routines could not see it. I will need to free IRQ lines for a legacy design, so I have to disable the interupt lines associated to the USB also. Has anyone done this? Felix
