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 to
as edge- or level-sensitive. The four PCI interrupt signals
may be routed internally to any PIC IRQ.
.
Figure 5-8. PIC Interrupt Controllers
Three interrupts are available externally depending upon
selected ball multiplexing:
1)
IRQ15 (muxed with GPIO11+RI2#),
2)
IRQ14 (muxed with TFTD1), and
3)
IRQ9 (muxed with IDE_DATA6)
More of the IRQs are available through the use of SERIRQ
(muxed with GPIO39) function. See Table 5-4.
The Core Logic module allows PCI interrupt signals INTA#,
INTB#, INTC# (muxed with GPIO19+IOCHRDY) and
INTD# (muxed with IDE_DATA7) 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 programmed to be
active low, level-sensitive with the Interrupt Sensitivity con-
figuration registers at I/O address space 4D0h and 4D1h.
PCI interrupt configuration is discussed in further detail in
“PCI Compatible Interrupts” on page 165.
