Signal I/O Description
Notes:
1. Debug signals are not rigorously verified and should only be used to observe behavior. Debug signals
should not be used to drive logic custom logic.

Refer to Interrupts for detailed information about all interrupt mechanisms.
Table 5-9: Interrupt Signals for Endpoints
Signal Direction Description
app_msi_req Input Application Layer MSI request. Assertion causes an MSI posted
write TLP to be generated based on the MSI configuration
register values and the
app_msi_tc
and
app_msi_num
input
ports.
app_msi_ack Output Application Layer MSI acknowledge. This signal acknowledges
the Application Layer's request for an MSI interrupt.
app_msi_tc[2:0] Input Application Layer MSI traffic class. This signal indicates the
traffic class used to send the MSI (unlike INTX interrupts, any
traffic class can be used to send MSIs).
app_msi_num[4:0] Input MSI number of the Application Layer. This signal provides the
low order message data bits to be sent in the message data field of
MSI messages requested by
app_msi_req
. Only bits that are
enabled by the MSI Message Control register apply.
app_int_sts Input Controls legacy interrupts. Assertion of
app_int_sts
causes an
Assert_INTA message TLP to be generated and sent upstream.
Deassertion of
app_int_sts
causes a Deassert_INTA message
TLP to be generated and sent upstream.
app_int_ack Output This signal is the acknowledge for
app_int_sts
. It is asserted for
at least one cycle either when either of the following events occur:
• The
Assert_INTA
message TLP has been transmitted in
response to the assertion of the
app_int_sts
.
• The
Deassert_INTA
message TLP has been transmitted in
response to the deassertion of the
app_int_sts
signal.
