The Raven ASIC, which controls PHB (PCI Host Bridge) MPU/local bus
interface functions on the MVME2300, performs interrupt handling as
well. Sources of interrupts may be any of the following:
The Raven ASIC itself (timer interrupts or transfer error interrupts)
The processor (processor self-interrupts)
The Falcon chip set (memory error interrupts)
The PCI bus (interrupts from PCI devices)
The ISA bus (interrupts from ISA devices)
Figure 4-2
illustrates interrupt architecture on the MVME2300. For details
on interrupt handling, refer to the MVME2300 Series VME Processor
Module Programmer's Reference Guide.
