5.2.3. Interrupt Line and Interrupt Pin Register

These registers are used only when you configure the Physical Function (PF) to support PCI legacy interrupts. The following sequence of events implements a legacy interrupt:
  1. A rising edge on app_intx_req indicates the assertion of the corresponding legacy interrupt from the client.
  2. In response, the PF drives Assert_INTx to activate a legacy interrupt.
  3. A falling edge on app_int_sts_x indicates the deassertion of the corresponding legacy interrupt from the client.
  4. In response, the PF sends Deassert_INTx to deactivate the legacy interrupt.
The Interrupt Pin register specifies the interrupt input used to signal interrupts. The PFs may be configured with separate interrupt pins. Or, both PFs may share a common interrupt pin. You configure the Interrupt Pin register in Platform Designer.

The Interrupt Line register specifies the interrupt controller (IRQ0–IRQ15) input of the in the Root Port activated by each Assert_INTx message. You configure the Interrupt Line register in Platform Designer.

Interrupt Pin register. When legacy interrupts are enabled, specifies the pin this function uses to signal an interrupt . The following encodings are defined:

  • 3'b001: INTA_IN
  • 3'b010: INTB_IN
  • 3'b011: INTC_IN
  • 3'b100: INTD_IN

Interrupt Line register. Identifies the interrupt controller IRQx input of the Root Port that is activated by this function’s interrupt. The following encodings are defined:

  • 6'h000000: IRQ0
  • 6'h000001: IRQ1
  • 6'h000002: IRQ2
  • ...
  • 6'h0000FF: unknown or not connected
