User Guide
The
Avalon-MM-to-PCI Express Mailbox
registers are writable at the addresses
shown in Table 8–37. When the Avalon-MM processor writes to one of these registers
the corresponding bit in the
PCI Express Interrupt Status
register is set to 1.
The
PCI Express-to-Avalon-MM Mailbox
registers are read-only at the addresses
shown in Table 8–38. The Avalon-MM processor reads these registers when the
corresponding bit in the
PCI Express to Avalon-MM Interrupt Status
register is set
to 1.
Correspondence between Configuration Space Registers and the PCIe
Spec 2.1
Table 8–39 provides a comprehensive correspondence between the Configuration
Space registers and their descriptions in the PCI Express Base Specification 2.1.
