DMA completion
VMEbus IACK cycle in response to a VMEbus interrupt generated by an
Alpha VME system
These conditions are divided into three cases.
The first ''case'' is DMA completion. There is an ICR associated with this
event, VIC_DMASICR (see Figure 11–10), which allows the signaling of DMA
completion. If enabled, an interrupt is generated at the programmed IPL upon
DMA completion.

VME_IF_BASE + 20 :

Encoded Priority 1-7
The second case is a grouping that encompasses the SYSFAIL assertion,
arbitration timeout, write posting failure, and ACFAIL conditions. The ICR
(VIC_EGICR) associated with this group (see Figure 11–11) is different than the
ICRs already discussed. Here, a single IPL is assigned for all of the events, while
the higher order register bits (<7:4>) allow individual conditions to be selectively
disabled.
