Raven PCI Host Bridge & Multi-Processor Interrupt Controller
2
R RESET CONTROLLER. Writing a one to this bit forces the
controller logic to be reset. This bit is cleared automatically when the reset
sequence is complete. While this bit is set, the values of all other register
are undefined.
M CASCADE MODE. Allows cascading of an external 8259 pair
connected to the first interrupt source input pin (0). In the pass through
mode, interrupt source 0 is passed directly through to the processor 0 INT
pin. Raven MPIC is essentially disabled. In the mixed mode, 8259
interrupts are delivered using the priority and distribution mechanism of
Raven MPIC. The Vector/Priority and Destination registers for interrupt
source 0 are used to control the delivery mode for all 8259 generated
interrupt sources.
T Tie Mode. Writing a one to this register bit will cause a tie in external
interrupt processing to, swap back and forth between processor 0 and 1.
The first tie in external interrupt processing always goes to Processor 0
after a reset. When this register bit is set to 0, a tie in external interrupt
processing will always go to processor 0 (Mode used on Version $02 of
MPIC).
