Register Definitions
11.9 Register Definitions
The following sections describe the registers of the EPIC unit.
11.9.1 Feature Reporting Register (FRR)
The feature reporting register (FRR) provides information about the interrupt and processor
configurations. It also contains controller version information. Note that this register is
read-only. Figure 11-4 shows the bits in the FRR.
Figure 11-4. Feature Reporting Register (FRR)
Table 11-5 describes the bit settings for the FRR.
11.9.2 Global Configuration Register (GCR)
The GCR provides programming control for resetting the EPIC unit and for setting the
external interrupts mode. Note that this register is read/write. Figure 11-5 shows the bits in
the GCR.

NIRQ
0x017
Number of interrupts. This field contains the maximum number of interrupt
sources supported. In the MPC8240, there are a maximum of 24 interrupts in use
at one time: the 4 internal sources (I
2
C, DMA (2), and MU), 4 timer sources and
16 external sources. A zero in this field corresponds to one interrupt, and so on.
Thus the value of 0x017 corresponds to 24 interrupts.

12–8
NCPU
0x00
Number of CPUs. This field contains the number of the highest CPU supported.
Because one CPU is supported by the MPC8240’s EPIC unit, the value is zero
corresponding to CPU 0.
7–0
VID
0x02
Version ID for this interrupt controller. This value reports the level of OpenPIC
specification supported by this implementation. VID =2, representing version
level 1.2 of OpenPIC, for the initial release of the MPC8240.
