5 REGISTER MAPS

The PCI Controller, a PLX-9052, has four configuration, control, and status registers (Table 5-1). They are described in the following section.

5.1 BADR0

BADR0 is reserved for the PLX-9052 configuration registers. There is no reason to access this region of I/O space.

5.2 BADR1

BADR1 is a 32 bit register for control and configuration of interrupts.

Note: For applications requiring edge triggered interrupts (LEVEL/EDGE bit 8 = 1), the user must configure the INTPOL bit for active high polarity (bit 1=1).

The INTCSR (Interrupt Control/Status Register) controls the interrupt features of the PLX-9052 controller. As with all of the PLX-9052 registers, it is 32-bits in length. Since the rest of the register have specific control functions, those bits must be masked off in order to access the specific interrupt control functions listed below.
