6.1.4.1. MSI Interrupts for Endpoints

The Stratix® 10 PCIe Avalon-MM Bridge with DMA does not generate an MSI to signal events. However, the Application can cause an MSI to be sent by the non-bursting Avalon-MM TX slave by performing a memory write to the non-bursting Avalon-MM TX slave.

After the host receives an MSI it can service the interrupt based on the application-defined interrupt service routine. This mechanism allows host software to avoid continuous polling of the status table done bits. This interface provides the required information for users to form the MSI/MSI-X via the TXS interface.
