Each channel has four interrupt flags, two for use in each direction. Setting CardIrq1 or CardIrq0
generates an interrupt to the card with the relevant flag set. When HostIrq1 OR HostIrq0 is '1'
and IntEn is '1', the card drives the IRQ pin (as set by IrqLevel) high.
One flag could be used for a command interface, and another for changing I/O data.
The firmware module dictates how these flags are used. If the module uses only one flag,
it will be Flag 0.
Table 8: Control Register Bit Descriptions
Bit Name
Description
CardRun
This bit controls and indicates whether or not the channel’s processor is running.
It also affects the Health LED.
•
When this bit is 0, the processor is halted, and the LED is RED
•
When this bit is 1, the processor is running normally, and the LED is under channel
processor control
•
When this bit is 1, and watchdog has timed out, processor is halted, and the LED is
RED
•
This bit must remain low for at least 50
µ
s to guarantee proper reset.
MemEn
This bit indicates and controls whether or not the channel’s shared memory will respond to
host memory accesses. This may be used to multiplex several SST-DN3-PCI-1 or
SST-DN3-PCI-2 cards or channels at the same base address by enabling the memory on
one channel at a time. MemEn high (‘1’) enables shared memory decoding of addresses in
this board’s range.
IntEn
•
Writing 1 enables interrupts
•
Writing 0 disables interrupts (the HostIrq flags still function as described)
WdTout
WdTout high (‘1’) indicates that a watchdog timeout has occurred, or that the channel’s
processor has been held in RESET by some other means. To restore this bit to 0, clear
CardRun.
