Description
Specific Interrupt Mask. Setting this bit to 1b causes the 82551IT to stop
generating an interrupt (in other words, de-assert the INTA# signal) on the
corresponding event.
Software Generated Interrupt. Setting this bit to 1b causes the 82551IT to
generate an interrupt. Writing a 0b to this bit has no effect.
Interrupt Mask. If the Interrupt Mask bit is set to 1b, the 82551IT will not
assert its INTA# pin. The M bit has higher precedence that the Specific
Interrupt Mask bits and the SI bit.
Command Unit Command. This field contains the CU command.
Receive Unit Command. This field contains the RU command.
8.1.3
System Control Block General Pointer
The System Control Block (SCB) General Pointer is a 32-bit field that points to various data
structures depending on the command in the CU Command or RU Command field.
8.1.4
PORT
The PORT interface allows software to perform certain control functions on the 82551IT. This
field is 32 bits wide:
• Address and Data (bits 32:4)
• PORT Function Selection (bits 3:0)
The 82551IT supports four PORT commands: Software Reset, Self-test, Selective Reset, and
Dump.
8.1.5
Flash Control Register
The Flash Control Register is a 32-bit field that allows access to an external Flash device.
