Hawk PCI Host Bridge & Multi-Processor Interrupt Controller

Generating PCI Interrupt Acknowledge Cycles
Performing a read from the PIACK register will initiate a single PCI
Interrupt Acknowledge cycle. Any single byte or combination of bytes
may be read from, and the actual byte enable pattern used during the read
will be passed on to the PCI bus. Upon completion of the PCI interrupt
acknowledge cycle, the PHB will present the resulting vector information
obtained from the PCI bus as read data.
PCI Arbiter
The Hawk’s internal PCI arbiter supports up to 8 PCI mas ters. This
includes Hawk and 7 other external PCI masters. The arbiter can be
configured to be enabled or disabled at reset time by strapping the rd[9] bit
either high for enabled or low for disabled. Table 2-9 describes the pins and
its function for both modes.
