Revision 1.22 October 24, 2002 -43- Memory Mapped I/O APIC Registers
Memory Mapped I/O APIC Registers
Memory Address FEC00000 – APIC Index....................RW
7-0 APIC Index .......................................... default = 00h
8-bit pointer to APIC registers.
Memory Address FEC00013-10 – APIC Data ................RW
31-0 APIC Data ............................. default = 0000 0000h
Data for the APIC register pointed to by the APIC
index
Memory Address FEC00020 – APIC IRQ Pin AssertionWO
7-5 Reserved ........................................ always reads 0
4-0 APIC IRQ Number........................default undefined
IRQ # for this interrupt. Valid values are 0-23 only.
Memory Address FEC00040 – APIC EOI ..................... WO
7-0 Redirection Entry Clear................default undefined
When a write is issued to this register, the APIC will
check this field and compare it with the vector field
for each entry in the I/O redirection table. When a
match is found, the “Remote_IRR” bit for that I/O
Redirection Entry will be cleared.
Indexed I/O APIC Registers
Offset 0 – APIC Identification (0000 0000h) .................. RW
31-28 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
27-24 APIC Identification..................................default = 0
Software must program this value before using the
APIC.
23-0 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
Offset 1 – APIC Version (00178003) ................................RO
31-24 Reserved ....................................always reads 00h
23-16 Maximum Redirection ...................always reads 17h
Equal to the number of APIC interrupt pins minus
one. For this APIC, this value is 17h (23 decimal).
15 PCI IRQ
Always reads 1 to indicate that the IRQ assertion
register is implemented and that PCI devices are
allowed to write to it to cause interrupts.
14-8 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
7-0 APIC Version..................................always reads 03h
The implementation version for this APIC is 03h.
Offset 2 – APIC Arbitration (0000 0000h).......................RO
31-28 Reserved ....................................always reads 00h
27-24 APIC Arbitration ID......................always reads 00h
23-0 Reserved ....................................always reads 00h
Offset 3 – Boot Configuration (0000 0000h)................... RW
31-1 Reserved ....................................always reads 00h
0 Interrupt Delivery Mechanism
0 APIC Serial Bus..................................... default
1 Front Side Bus Message
