Message and Doorbell Register Programming Model
Table 9-4 shows the bit settings for the IDBR.
Alternatively, theMPC8240 processor core can write to the ODBR, which causes the
outbound interrupt signal INTA to be asserted, thus interrupting a remote processor if the
interrupt is not masked in OMIMR. When INTA is generated, it can only be cleared by the
remote processor (through PCI) by writing a 1 to the bits that are set in the ODBR. The
processor core can only generate INTA through the ODBR, and it can not clear this
interrupt.
Figure 9-3 shows the ODBR.

Table 9-5 shows the bit settings for the ODBR.

clears the bit.

1 Writing to this bit causes the assertion of mcp to the processor
core if IMIMR[DMCM] = 0; it also causes IMISR[DMC] to be set.

R/W. A write of 1
from PCI sets the bit;
a write of 1 from the

clears the bit.
Inbound doorbell n interrupt, where n is each bit
0 No inbound doorbell interrupt
1 Setting any bit in this register from the PCI bus causes an
interrupt to be generated through the int signal to the processor
core if IMIMR[IDIM] = 0; it also causes IMISR[IDI] to be set.

Outbound doorbell interrupt n where n is each bit. Writing

it also causes OMISR[ODI] to be set
