Core Logic Module
(Continued)
5.2.6.3
The Core Logic module contains two 8259A-equivalent
programmable interrupt controllers, with eight interrupt
request lines each, for a total of 16 interrupts. The two con-
trollers are cascaded internally, and two of the interrupt
request inputs are connected to the internal circuitry. This
allows a total of 13 externally available interrupt requests.
See Figure 5-9.
Programmable Interrupt Controller
Each Core Logic IRQ signal can be individually selected as
edge- or level-sensitive. The four PCI interrupt signals may
be routed internally to any PIC IRQ.
.
Figure 5-8. PIC Interrupt Controllers
Two interrupts are available externally depending upon
selected ball multiplexing:
1)
IRQ15 (ball AF19, muxed with GPIO11+RI#),
2)
IRQ14 (ball AC6)
More of the IRQs are available through the use of SERIRQ
(ball A24, muxed with GPIO39) function. See Table 5-4.
The Core Logic module allows PCI interrupt signals INTA#
(ball AD26), INTB# (ball W24), INTC# (ball Y24, muxed
with GPIO19) and INTD# (ball V24) to be routed internally
to any IRQ signal. The routing can be modified through
Core Logic module’s configuration registers. If this is done,
the IRQ input must be configured to be level- rather than
edge-sensitive. IRQ inputs may be individually pro-
grammed to be active low, level-sensitive with the Interrupt
Sensitivity configuration registers at I/O address space
4D0h and 4D1h. PCI interrupt configuration is discussed in
further detail in “PCI Compatible Interrupts” on page 131.
