The IP decodes the MSI interrupt based on the value programmed in Root Port MSI Base Register 1 and Root Port MSI Base Register 2. Any Memory Write TLPs received from the link with an address that falls within the 4 Kb window from the base address programmed in those registers will be treated as MSI interrupt, and will not be forwarded to the M_AXI(B) interface.
When an MSI interrupt is received, the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register is set. If the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register is also set, the interrupt_out_msi_vec* pins are asserted. interrupt_out_msi_vec0to31 corresponds to MSI vector 0 - 31, and interrupt_out_msi_vec32to63 corresponds to MSI vector 32 - 63. After receiving this interrupt, the user application must follow this procedure to service the interrupt:
- Optional: Write 0 to the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register to deassert the interrupt_out_msi_vec* pins while the interrupt is being serviced.
- Read the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register to check which interrupt vector is asserted.
- Write 1 to the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register to clear the MSI interrupt bit.
- If step 1 was executed, write 1 to the MSI Decode 31-0 register or the MSI Decode 63-32 register bit to re-enable the interrupt_out_msi_vec* pins for future MSI interrupts.
