6.1.12.1. MSI and Legacy Interrupts

Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) interrupts are signaled on the PCI Express link using a single dword Memory Write TLP.
Table 41.  MSI and Legacy Interrupts

Signal

Direction

Description

app_msi_req

Input

Application Layer MSI request. Assertion causes an MSI posted write TLP to be generated based on the MSI configuration register values and the app_msi_tc and app_msi_num input ports. The Application Layer can deassert this MSI request signal any time after app_msi_ack has been asserted to acknowledge the request.

app_msi_ack

Output

The IP core acknowledges theapp_msi_req request. Asserts for 1 cycle to acknowledge the Application Layer's request for an MSI interrupt. The Application Layer can deassert the app_msi_req request as soon as it receives this signal.

app_msi_tc[2:0]

Input

Application Layer MSI traffic class. This signal indicates the traffic class used to send the MSI (unlike INTX interrupts, any traffic class can be used to send MSIs).

app_msi_num[4:0]

Input

MSI number of the Application Layer. The application uses the app_msi_num bus to indicate the offset between the base message data and the MSI to send. When multiple message mode is enabled, it sets the lower five bits of the MSI Data register. Only bits that the MSI Message Control register enables apply.

app_int_sts[3:0] H-Tile

Input

Controls legacy interrupts. Assertion of app_int_sts causes an Assert_INTx message TLP to be generated and sent upstream. Deassertion of app_int_sts causes a Deassert_INTx message TLP to be generated and sent upstream.

When you enable multiple PFs, bit 0 is for PF0, bit 1 is for PF1, and so on.

app_msi_func_num[1:0] H-Tile

Input Specifies the function number requesting an MSI transmission.

app_err_func_num[1:0] H-Tile

Input Specifies the function number that is asserting the app_err_valid signal.
