Freescale Semiconductor 9-75
Free MFAs are picked up by the local processor pointed to by the outbound free_FIFO tail pointer register,
described in Figure 9-70 and Table9-55. This register is updated by the local processor.
Figure 9-70. Outbound Free_FIFO Tail Pointer Register (OFTPR)
9.12.3.3.2 Outbound Post_FIFO Head Pointer Register (OPHPR) and
Outbound Post_FIFO Tail Pointer Register (OPTPR)
The outbound post FIFO holds MFAs which are posted from the local processor to external processors.
The local processor places messages in the outbound post FIFO by writing to the MFA to OPHPR +
QBAR. The local processor must then advance the OPHPR.
The PCI bridge’s PCI interrupt is generated (INTA) when the FIFO is not empty (head and tail pointers are
not equal). The outbound post queue interrupt bit is set in the outbound interrupt status register. The status
bit is cleared when the head and tail pointers are equal. The interrupt can be masked using the outbound
interrupt mask register.
