7. Local bus LAD[0:31] is sampled during POR, but only LAD[28:31] are configurable by
resistor option. Software can use this value to inform the firmware or operating system
about initial board configuration.
8. ECC signals from memory devices must be disconnected.
7.3 MPC8540 Interrupt Controller
The MVME3100 uses the MPC8540 integrated programmable interrupt controller (PIC) to
manage locally generated interrupts. Currently defined external interrupting devices and
interrupt assignments, along with corresponding edge/levels and polarities, are shown in the
following table.
Refer to the MPC8540 Reference Manual listed in Appendix B, Related Doc umentation, for
additional details regarding the operation of the MPC8540 PIC.
