Notes
Gather and Route to Root Implicit Routing
Gather and route to root implicit routing is not supported through the non-transparent bridge and are
discarded.
Non-Transparent Bridge Interprocessor Communica-
tions
The Non-Transparent Bridge Communications Capability Structure has a number of facilities to aid in
interprocessor communications between processors on opposite sides of the NTB. These are graphically
illustrated in Figure 10.4 and described in the following sections.

Message Registers
The internal and external endpoints each have four Inbound Message (INMSG[0..3]) and Outbound
Message (OUTMSG[0..3]) registers. OUTMSG registers may be read and written while INMSG registers
are read only. When an OUTMSG register is written, the corresponding INMSG register on the opposite
side of the NTB takes on the value written and the corresponding Inbound Message (INMSGx) bit is set in
the Interrupt Status (INTSTS) register on the opposite side of the bridge.
This mechanism may be used to pass 32-bit quantities with interrupt notification. For example, when a
processor on the internal side writes to PCIE_OUTMSG0, then PCEE_INMSG0 takes on the value written
and the INMSG0 bit is set in the PCEE_INTSTS register. The setting of the INMSG0 bit may be used to
generate an interrupt to the root on the external side.
