CIM_LogicalElement 89
CIM_MemoryMappedIO
The CIM_MemoryMappedIO class explained in Table 3-41 addresses both
memory and port I/O resources for personal computer architecture memory
mapped I/O.
Shareable Indicates whether the IRQ can be shared.
A value of TRUE indicates that the IRQ can be
shared.
Boolean
Hardware Indicates whether the interrupt is hardware- or
software-based. (A value of TRUE indicates
that the interrupt is hardware based.) On a
personal computer, a hardware IRQ is a physical
wire to a programmable interrupt controller
(PIC) chip set through which the
microprocessor can be notified of time critical
events. Some IRQ lines are reserved for
standard devices such as the keyboard, diskette
drive, and the system clock. A software
interrupt is a programmatic mechanism to
allow an application to get the attention of
the processor.
