7.2.1.4. PCI Express to Avalon-MM Interrupt Status and Enable Registers for Endpoints

These registers record the status of various signals in the PCI Express Avalon-MM bridge logic. They allow Avalon-MM interrupts to be asserted when enabled. A processor local to the interconnect fabric that processes the Avalon-MM interrupts can access these registers.
Note: These registers must not be accessed by the PCI Express Avalon-MM bridge master ports. However, nothing in the hardware prevents a PCI Express Avalon-MM bridge master port from accessing these registers.

The following table describes the Interrupt Status register for Endpoints. It records the status of all conditions that can cause an Avalon-MM interrupt to be asserted.

An Avalon-MM interrupt can be asserted for any of the conditions noted in the Avalon-MM Interrupt Status register by setting the corresponding bits in the PCI Express to Avalon-MM Interrupt Enable register.

PCI Express interrupts can also be enabled for all of the error conditions described. However, it is likely that only one of the Avalon-MM or PCI Express interrupts can be enabled for any given bit. Typically, a single process in either the PCI Express or Avalon-MM domain handles the condition reported by the interrupt.

Description

[31:0] 1-for1 enable mapping for the bits in the Avalon-MM Interrupt Status register. RW When set to 1, indicates the setting of the associated bit in the Avalon-MM Interrupt Status register causes the Avalon-MM interrupt signal, cra_irq_o, to be asserted.
