Functional Description
164 Datasheet
In systems using the APIC, the SCI can be routed to interrupts 9, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, or
23. The interrupt polarity changes depending on whether it is on an interrupt shareable
with a PIRQ or not (see Section 13.1.3). The interrupt remains asserted until all SCI
sources are removed.
Table 5-27 shows which events can cause an SMI and SCI. Note that some events can
be programmed to cause either an SMI or SCI. The usage of the event for SCI (instead
of SMI) is typically associated with an ACPI-based system. Each SMI or SCI source has
a corresponding enable and status bit.
