7.4.4. SERIRQ Interrupt Event

The LPC bridge supports 16 lines IRQ/Data serializer by sampling the event of SERIRQ signal from the LPC interface. A SERIRQ cycle transfer consists of three frame types:
  • Start Frame: The agent device drives the SERIRQ line low to indicate the start of IRQ transmission.
  • IRQ/Data Frames (several): Peripherals transmit the IRQ information. The eSPI bridge host supports 16 IRQ data frames. During the sample phase, the SERIRQ device must drive the SERIRQ low, if and only if, its detected IRQ/Data value is low. And if its detected IRQ/Data value is high, SERIRQ must be left tri-stated. During the recovery phase, the device must drive the SERIRQ high, if and only if, it had driven the SERIRQ low during the sample phase.
  • Stop Frame: The Host Controller initiates a Stop frame to terminate SERIRQ activity after all IRQ/Data Frames have completed. A Stop Frame is indicated when the SERIRQ is low for two clock cycles. Stop frame occurs at 53-54 clock cycles past the Start frame.
Figure 27. SERIRQ Event Timing Diagram
The start frame is 4 clock cycles, stop frame is 2 clock cycles, and the IRQ/Data frames clock cycles are stated below:
Table 38.  IRQ/Data Frame Clock Period
IRQ/Data Frame Sampled Signal Number of Clocks after Start Frame
1 IRQ0 2
2 IRQ1 5
3 SMI# 8
4 IRQ3 11
5 IRQ4 14
6 IRQ5 17
7 IRQ6 20
8 IRQ7 23
9 IRQ8 26
10 IRQ9 29
11 IRQ10 32
12 IRQ11 35
13 IRQ12 38
14 IRQ13 41
15 IRQ14 44
16 IRQ15 47
17 Reserved -
Once the LPC bridge samples and derives the SERIRQ event, it translates the IRQ/Data Frame into VW index bit as below:
Table 39.  SERIRQ IRQ/Data Frame to VW Index Group Mapping
SERIRQ Sampled Signal VW Index Group VW Data Bit
SMI# 6h Bit 2
IRQ0 to IRQ15 00h Bit 0 - Bit 15
IRQ VW information can be sent to the eSPI host only through GET_VWIRE command during transition period.
Table 40.  VW Information via Transition Period
Interrupt Source Type Interrupt Source Level Agent to Host IRQ Virtual Wire (Active High)
Active low 0 → 1 De-assertion. IRQ VW (Level=’0’) sent.
Active low 1 → 0 Assertion. IRQ VW (Level=’1’) sent.
