5.9 Legacy Interrupt Mechanism

Test

Description:

Test to verify if the legacy interrupt (INTx) mechanism is disabled correctly at TMDS243EVM/TMDS64EVM PCIe EP.

Execution:

  1. On Linux-based RC hardware check the device status of PCIe EP in Linux terminal. For a valid test case, the information Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ XXX cannot occur.

For comparison, the following figure shows the device status of a different PCIe EP on the same Linux-based RC hardware where the legacy interrupt mechanism is active.
