30.11.3 Interrupt Queue Parameter Tables

The interrupt queue parameters are held in parameter tables in the dual-port RAM; see Table30-43.

INTT_BASE in the parameter RAM points to the base address of these tables. Each of the four interrupt

queues has its own parameter table with a starting address given by INTT_BASE+ RCT/TCT[INTQ] × 16.

Table30-42. Interrupt Queue Entry Field Description

Offset Bits Name Description
0x00 0 VValid interrupt entry
0 This interrupt queue entry is free and can be use by the CP.
1 This interrupt queue entry is valid. The host should read this interrupt and clear this bit.
1 Reserved, should be cleared.
2WWrap bit. When set, this is the last interrupt circular table entry. During initialization, the
host must clear all W bits in the table except the last one, which must be set.
3–10 Reserved, should be cleared.
11 TBNR Tx buffer-not-ready. Set when a transmit buffer-not-ready interrupt is issued. This interrupt
is issued when the CP tries to open a TxBD that is not ready (R = 0). This interrupt is sent
only if TCT[BNM] = 1. This interrupt has an associated channel code.
Note that for AAL5, this inte rrupt is sent only if fram e transmission is star ted. In this case,
an abort frame transmission is sent (last cell with length=0), the channel is taken out of the
APC, and the TCT[VCON] flag is cleared.
12 RXF Rx frame. RXF is set when an Rx frame interrupt is issued. This interrupt is issued at the
end of AAL5 PDU reception. This interrupt is issued only if RCT[RXFM] = 1. This interrupt
has an associated channel code.
13 BSY Busy condition. The BD table or the free buffer pool associated with this channel is busy.
Cells were discarded due to this condition. This interrupt has an associated channel code.
14 TXB Tx buffer. TXB is set when a transmit buffer interrupt is issued. This interrupt is enabled
when both TxBD[I] and TCT[IMK] = 1. This interrupt has an associated channel code.
15 RXB Rx buffer. RXB is set when an Rx buffer interrupt is issued. This interrupt is enabled when
both RxBD[I] and RCT[RXBM] = 1. This interrupt has an associated channel code.
0x02 CC Channel code specifies the channel associated with this interrupt.

Table30-43. I nterrupt Queue Parameter Table

Offset
1Name Width Description
0x00 INTQ_BASE Word Base address of the interrupt queue. User-defined.
0x04 INTQ_PTR Word Pointer to interrupt queue entry. Initialize to INTQ_BASE.
0x08 INT_CNT Half
Word
Interrupt counter. Initialize with INT_ICNT. The CP decrements INT_CNT for each
interrupt. When INT_CNT reaches zero, the queue’s global interrupt flag
FCCE[GINT
