    Boot Menu Boot Menu The Boot priority is determined by the stack order, with the top having the highest priority and the bottom the least. The order can be modified by highlighting a device and, using the <+> or <-> keys, moving it to the desired order in the stack. A device can be boot disabled by highlighting the particular device and pressing <Shift 1>.

    64 Kbyte. ISA Devices The ISA devices on the VMICPCI-7611 are configured by the BIOS at boot-up and adhere to the standard PC/AT architecture. They are mapped in I/O address space within standard addresses and their interrupts are mapped to standard interrupt control registers.

  • Page 96: Pci Devices

    PCI Devices PCI devices are fully configured under I/O and/or Memory address space. Table C-2 describes the PCI bus devices that are on-board the VMICPCI-7611 along with each device’s configuration spectrum. The PCI bus includes three physical address spaces. As with ISA bus, PCI bus supports Memory and I/O address space, but PCI bus includes an additional Configuration address space.

    ISA Device Interrupt Map The VMICPCI-7611 BIOS maps the IRQx lines to the appropriate device per the standard ISA architecture. Reference Figure C-2 on page 97. This initialization operation cannot be changed; however, a custom application could reroute the interrupt configuration after the BIOS has completed the initial configuration cycle.

    VMICPCI-7611 Product Manual PCI Device Interrupt Map The PCI bus-based external devices include the two PCI expansion sites, the PCI-to-VMEbus bridge, and the VGA reserved connection. The default BIOS maps these external devices to the PCI Interrupt Request (PIRQx) lines of the PIIX4E. This mapping is illustrated in Figure C-2 on page 97 and is defined in Table C-3.
