2.2.17 Interrupt Routing
This section documents the recommended approach to RAID ready
interrupt routing for the LSI53C1000. In order to be compatible with RAID
upgrade products and the LSI53C1000, the following requirements must
be met:
•
When a RAID upgrade card is installed in the upgrade slot, interrupts
from the mainboard SCSI controller assigned to the RAID upgrade
card must be routed to INTC/ of the upgrade slot and isolated from
the mainboard interrupt controller. The system processor must not
see interrupts from the SCSI controllers that are serviced by the
RAID upgrade card. An upgrade slot is one that is connected to the
interrupt routing logic for mainboard SCSI device(s). When a PCI
RAID upgrade board is installed into the system, it will be plugged
into this slot if it is to control mainboard SCSI device(s).
•
The TDI pin of the upgrade slot must be connected to the INT_DIR/
pin of the LSI53C1000.
•
When a RAID upgrade card is not installed, interrupts from a SCSI
core must not be presented to the system’s interrupt controller using
multiple interrupt inputs.
shows an example configuration. In this example the
LSI53C1000 contains the interrupt routing logic.
The LSI53C1000 supports four different interrupt routing modes.
Additional information for these modes may be found in the register
description of
description in
The SCSI core within the chip may be configured by
selecting the interrupt routing mode using bits [1:0] in the STEST1
register within the core. Mode 0 is the default mode and is compatible
with RAID upgrade products.
If the implementation shown in
is used, INTC/ of the PCI RAID
upgrade slot cannot be used when a non-RAID upgrade card is installed
in the slot. If this restriction is not acceptable, additional buffer logic must
be implemented on the mainboard. As long as the interrupt routing
requirements stated above are satisfied, a mainboard designer could
implement this design with external logic.
