SMM OVERVIEW
1.1
Introduction
This Programmer’s Guide has been written to aid programmers in the creation of software using the
SGS-Thomson System Management Mode (SMM) for ST486DX CPUs. This guide should be
used in conjunction with the SGS-Thomson ST486DX and ST486DX2 Processors Data Book.
SMM programming related to the ST486SLC/e is covered in the ST486SLC/e SMM Programmer’s
Guide.
SMM provides the system designer with another processor operating mode. Within this document
the standard x86 operating modes (real, v86 and protected) are referred to as normal mode. Nor-
mal mode operation can be interrupted by an SMI interrupt or special instruction that places the
processor in System Management Mode (SMM). SMM can be used to enhance the functionality of
the system by providing power management, register shadowing, peripheral emulation and other
system level functions. SMM can be totally transparent to all application software, including pro-
tected mode operating systems.
1.2
SGS-Thomson SMM Features
SMM operation within one of the SGS-Thomson ST486DX microprocessors is similar to related
operations performed by other x86 microprocessors. All processors with SMM capability, switch
into real mode upon entry into the SMM interrupt handler. Each CPU has a unique SMM code lo-
cations. However, the SMM memory region for the SGS-Thomson CPU has a programmable loca-
tion and size. All devices save some of the CPU registers upon entry to SMM. The SGS-Thomson
CPU automatically saves minimal register information reducing the entry and exit clock count to as
low as 100 clock cycles. This compares with Intel’s clock overhead for a typical entry and exit of
633 clock cycles. The SGS-Thomson SMM implementation provides unique instructions that save
additional segment registers as required by the programmer. The x86 MOV instruction can be used
to save the general purpose registers.
Although all SMM capable CPUs provide I/O trapping, the SGS-Thomson CPUs simplify I/O type
identification and instruction restarting. SGS-Thomson CPUs also make available to the SMM rou-
tine information which can simplify peripheral register shadowing.
SGS-Thomson provides a method to prevent SMM configuration registers from being accessed by
applications. Access to the SMM configuration can be prevented by setting a bit in the CPU con-
figuration space. Not allowing an application to disable or alter SMM operation is useful for anti-
virus or security measures.
