Software blocks interrupts by clearing the corresponding mask bit. This is accomplished by writing a 1b
to the corresponding bit location (as defined in the ICR register) of that interrupt in this register. Bits
written with 0b are unchanged (for example, their mask status does not change).
14.3.43 Extended Interrupt Auto Clear - EIAC (0152Ch;
R/W)
This register is mapped like the EICS, EIMS, and EIMC registers, with each bit mapped to the
corresponding bit in the EICR. EICR bits that have auto clear set are cleared when internally sent even
if the MSI-X message that they trigger is sent on the PCIe* bus is not set (masked). Note that the MSI-
X message can be delayed by EITR moderation from the time the EICR bit is activated. Bits without
auto clear set also need to be cleared with write-to-clear.
Note: Read-to-clear is not compatible with auto clear, so if any bits are set to auto clear, the EICR
register should not be read.
14.3.44 Extended Interrupt Auto Mask Enable - EIAM
(01530h; R/W)
Each bit in this register enables clearing of the corresponding bit in EIMS following read- or write-to-
clear to EICR or setting of the corresponding bit in EIMS following a write-to-set to EICS.
In MSI-X mode, this register controls which of the bits in EIMC to clear upon interrupt generation.
