Description
Message Address (MA)
This field is used by system software to assign an MSI address to
the device. The device handles an MSI by writing the padded
contents of the MD register to this address.
Force DWord Align (FDWA)
Hardwired to 00 so that addresses assigned by system software
are always aligned on a dword address boundary.
Description
Message Data (MD)
Base message data pattern assigned by system software and used
to handle an MSI from the device.
When the device must generate an interrupt request, it writes a
32-bit value to the memory address specified in the MA register.
The upper 16 bits are always set to 0. The lower 16 bits are
supplied by this register.
Description
Pointer to Next Capability (PNC)
This value terminates the capabilities list. The Virtual Channel
capability and any other PCI Express specific capabilities that are
reported using this mechanism are in a separate capabilities list
located entirely within PCI Express Extended Configuration Space.
Capability ID (CID)
This field identifies this linked list item (capability structure) as
being for PCI Express registers.
