This register either maps the MXIbus IRQ line onto a VMEbus IRQ line, or maps a VMEbus
IRQ line onto the MXIbus IRQ line. These bits are cleared on a hard reset.
Bit Mnemonic Description
15r/w SYSFOUT SYSFAIL Output Enable Bit
Setting this bit enables the VXIbus SYSFAIL line to be routed
onto the MXIbus IRQ line. When this bit is cleared, the SYSFAIL
line is not mapped to the MXIbus IRQ line.
14-8r/w MIRQ[7-1]EN MXIbus IRQ Enable Bits
Setting these bits individually enables the corresponding VMEbus
IRQ lines to drive or receive the MXIbus IRQ interrupt line. The
corresponding MIRQDIR bits select whether the MXIbus IRQ
interrupt line is driven or received by the VMEbus IRQ line.
7r/w SYSFIN SYSFAIL Input Enable Bit
Setting this bit enables the MXIbus IRQ line to be driven on the
VMEbus SYSFAIL line. When this bit is cleared, the MXIbus
IRQ line is not mapped onto the SYSFAIL line.
6-0r/w MIRQ[7-1]DIR MXIbus IRQ Direction Bits
When the corresponding MIRQxEN bits are clear, these bits have
no meaning.
When the corresponding MIRQxEN bits are set, these bits control
the routing of the MXIbus IRQ signal. When MIRQxDIR is clear,
the corresponding VMEbus IRQ line drives the MXIbus IRQ line.
If multiple VMEbus IRQ lines are enabled to drive the MXIbus
IRQ line, the selected VMEbus IRQ lines are ORed together and
the result drives the MXIbus IRQ line. If the MIRQxDIR bit is set,
the MXIbus IRQ line drives the corresponding VMEbus IRQ line.
