DeviceControlBlock4.0Specification
Purpose
DeviceControlBlocks(DCBs)arestatictablesusedtodescribetheboardtopologyandconnectionsexternaltotheGPUchip.
Eachboardbuilthasspecificadditionstothecapabilitiesthroughexternaldevices,aswellaslimitationswhereoutputlinesarenotlinkedtodeviceconnectors.DCBsdefinethedevicesconnected,specificinformationneededtoconfigurethosedevices,andtheexternalelectricalconnectionssuchasHDMIandDisplayPort.
DCBsdonottrytoexplainthecapabilitiesofthechipitself.ThatinformationisimplicitintheVBIOS,firmwareanddrivers,whicharebuiltdifferentlyforeachchip.Boththefirmwareandthedriversknowtheinherentcapabilityofeachchip,anduseruntimechoicestodeterminechipdependentcodepaths.
DCBversionanduse
∙DCB1.xisusedwithCore3VBIOS(NV5,NV10,NV11,NV15,NV20).
∙DCB2.x(2.0-2.4)isusedwithCore4andCore4r2VBIOS(NV17,NV25,NV28,NV3x).
∙DCB3.0isusedwithCore5VBIOS(NV4x,G7x).
∙DCB4.0isusedwithCore6,Core7,andCore8VBIOS(G80+).
DeviceControlBlockStructure
The4.0DCBDataStructureconsistsofthefollowingparts:
∙Header-Theversionnumber(0x40forVersion4.0),theheadersize,thesizeofeachDCBEntry(currently8bytes),thenumberofvalidDCBEntries,pointerstodifferenttables,andtheDCBsignature.IfanyofthepointershereareNULL,thenthosetablesareconsideredtobeabsentorinvalid.
∙Deviceentrieslist-Oneforeachdisplayconnector(twoforDVI-Iconnectors).Eachdeviceentryissubdividedintotwomainparts:
