Legacy/MSI Cap Tab
On this page, you set the Legacy Interrupt Settings and MSI Capabilities for all applicable physical
and virtual functions. This page is not visible when the SRIOV Capability parameter is selected
on the Capabilities page.
Figure 62: Legacy/MSI Cap Tab
• Legacy Interrupt Settings:
• PF{n}: Indicates the mapping for Legacy Interrupt messages. A setting of None indicates
that no Legacy Interrupts are used.
Note: When PASID is enabled, legacy interrupts cannot be used and are disabled.
• MSI Capabilities:
• PF{n} Enable MSI Capability Structure: Indicates that the MSI Capability structure exists.
Note: Although it is possible to not enable MSI or MSI-X, the result would be a non-compliant core.
The PCI Express Base Specification requires that MSI, MSI-X, or both be enabled. No MSI
capabilities are supported when MSI-X Internal is enabled in the
(Advanced
mode), because MSI-X Internal uses some of the MSI interface signals.
• PF{n} Multiple Message Capable: Selects the number of MSI vectors to request from the
Root Complex.
• Enable MSI Per Vector Masking: Enables MSI Per Vector Masking Capability of all the
Physical functions enabled.
Note: Enabling this option for individual physical functions is not supported.
