System Features Selection

1.1.10 Socket Activity LEDs

Socket activity signals can be assigned on MFUNC4 (slot 1), MFUNC3 (slot 2), MFUNC5 (OHCI_LED), MFUNC6 (OHCI_LED), and MFUNC7 (OHCI_LED).

1.1.11 MFUNC7±MFUNC0 Terminal Assignments

After selecting required functions for the system, multifunction terminals MFUNC7±MFUNC0 are ready to be assigned. Texas Instruments offers Windows-based software, named TIROUTE.EXE, to assist with terminal assignment.

STOP Frame

The start frame width may vary from four to eight PCI clock cycles. The STOP frame width is two clock cycles for quiet mode and three clock cycles for continuous mode. Default mode is continuous mode for all slave devices and a host device. PIIX4 does not support IRQ0, IRQ8, and IRQ13.

The PCI445X can generate serial IRQ frames for ISA and PCI interrupts. Below are related registers and their definitions.

￿INTMODE bits (device control register, PCI offset 92h, bits 2±1). Select interrupt mode

￿SER_STEP bits (system control register, PCI offset 80h, bits 31±30). Change PCI interrupt data frame (serial interrupts only)

￿INTRTIE bit (system control register, PCI offset 80h, bit 29). Tie CardBus PCI interrupts to INTA

￿TIEALL bit (system control register, PCI offset 80h, bit 28). Tie all PCI interrupts internally

Refer to the Serialized IRQ Support for PCI Systems specification, revision 6.0.

1.1.12.2 CSC Interrupt Routing for Windows Compatibility

The CSC interrupt routing control bit (diagnostic register, PCI offset 93h, bit 5) should be set to 1 (default) to keep Windows compatibility.
