Altera Corporation
Arria V GZ Hard IP for PCI Express
Table 7–25
shows the status of all conditions that can cause a PCI Express interrupt to
be asserted.
A PCI Express interrupt can be asserted for any of the conditions registered in the
Avalon-MM to
PCI Express
Interrupt Status
register by setting the corresponding
bits in the Avalon-MM-to-PCI Express
Interrupt Enable
register (
Table 7–26
). Either
MSI or legacy interrupts can be generated as explained in the section
or Legacy Interrupts” on page 11–7
.
Table 7–26
describes the
Avalon-MM to PCI Express Interrupt Enable
register.

AVL_IRQ_ASSERTED[15:0]
RO
Current value of the Avalon-MM interrupt (IRQ) input
ports to the Avalon-MM RX master port:
■
0 – Avalon-MM IRQ is not being signaled.
■
1 – Avalon-MM IRQ is being signaled.
A Qsys-generated IP Compiler for PCI Express has as
many as 16 distinct IRQ input ports. Each
AVL_IRQ_ASSERTED[]
bit reflects the value on the
corresponding IRQ input port.

A2P_MB_IRQ
RW
Enables generation of PCI Express interrupts when a
specified mailbox is written to by an external
Avalon-MM master.
[15:0]
AVL_IRQ[15:0]
RX
Enables generation of PCI Express interrupts when a
specified Avalon-MM interrupt signal is asserted. Your
Qsys system may have as many as 16 individual input
interrupt signals.
