The Hawk ASIC, which controls the PHB (PCI Host Bridge) and the
MPU/local bus interface functions on the MVME240x, performs interrupt
handling as well. Sources of interrupts may be any of the following:
The Hawk ASIC itself (timer interrupts, transfer error interrupts, or
memory error interrupts)
The processor (processor self-interrupts)
The PCI bus (interrupts from PCI devices)
The ISA bus (interrupts from ISA devices)
Figure 4-2 illustrates interrupt architecture on the MVME240x. For details
on interrupt handling, refer to the MVME2400-Series VME Processor
Module Programmer's Reference Guide.
