Local to PCI Interrupt
The PowerQUICC II can generate an interrupt toward the PCI Host by setting a doorbell bit. Conventionally, doorbell bit 0 has been dedicated to this task, and has been associated with PCI interrupt pin

Local Space Access From PCI Memory Space
The PowerSpan provides four memory windows from the PCI memory space to the Local memory space. In the 4538 design, the default setting in the PowerSpan serial EEPROM enables two windows. The first one is set with a size of 2 MB and is intended for “operational” exchanges. The second one is set with a size of 512 KB and is intended to be used for “dumps”.
During a PCI host access to local space, the
