Does anyone know about the newest MPC8309?
Am i able to set bit 0 of register RCWHR to PCI agent mode? It is not clearly discussed in MPC8309RM. And we are using it as a PCI agent in our new design. We are using it as a PCI-to-ethernet bridge which could bring us 3 ethernet ports per chip. Is it capable to do so? Thank you!

The RCWHR is a read only register that reflects the hardware config word. Yes, you can set the 8309 to PCI agent, but you have to do that via the reset config word. Then SW can read the RCWHR to see if it actually was set correctly.
