EPC-7 Hardware Reference
One more case of interest is when the EPC-7 performs a locked access that results in
a self access. These function correctly (i.e., as if the access was not a self access),
providing that operating-system tables (e.g., page tables) that are accessed by the
CPU by implicit locked accesses are not mapped into VME. This would only be a
concern for user-written operating systems.
VMEbus Interrupt Response
When the EPC-7's Interrupt Generator register (815F) is used to assert an interrupt,
the EPC-7 formulates a status/ID value that is transmitted on the bus as the response
to a matching interrupt acknowledge cycle. The EPC-7 acts as both a D08(O) and
D16 interrupter. For D08 interrupt acknowledge cycles, the status/ID value is the
contents of register 815C. For D16 and D32 interrupt acknowledge cycles, the
status/ID value consists of 16 bits. The upper eight bits are the upper half of the
response register (the value in I/O port 814B) and the lower eight bits are the contents
of register 815C.
