2.4.10 8259 Compatibility
The MPIC provides a mechanism to support PC-AT compatible chip sets using the 8259
interrupt controller architecture. After power-on reset, the MPIC defaults to 8259
pass-through mode. In this mode, if the OPIC is enabled, interrupts from external source
number 0 (the interrupt signal from the 8259 is connected to this external interrupt source on
the MPIC) are passed directly to processor 0. If the pass-through mode is disabled and the OPIC
is enabled, the 8259 interrupts are delivered using the priority and distribution mechanisms of
the MPIC.
MPIC does not interact with the vector fetch from the 8259 interrupt controller.
2.4.11 Hawk Internal Error Interrupt
Hawk’s PHB and SMC detected errors are grouped together and sent to the interrupt logic as a
singular interrupt source (Hawk internal error interrupt). This Hawk internal error interrupt
request is an active low-level sensitive interrupt. The interrupt delivery mode for this interrupt
is distributed. When the OPIC is disabled, the Hawk internal error interrupt will be passed
directly on to processor 0 INT pin.
For system implementations where the MPIC controller is not used, the Hawk internal error
condition will be made available by a signal which is external to the Hawk ASIC. Presumably this
signal will be connected to an externally sourced interrupt input of an MPIC controller of a
different device. Since the MPIC specification defines external I/O interrupts to operate in the
distributed mode, the delivery mode of this error interrupt should be consistent.
2.4.12 Timers
There is a divide by eight pre scaler which is synchronized to the PCI clock. The output of the
pre scaler enables the decrement of the four timers. The timers may be used for system timing
or to generate periodic interrupts. Each timer has four registers, which are used for
configuration and control. They are the following:
Current Count Register
Base Count Register
Vector-Priority Register
Destination Register
