Timers
There is a divide by eight pre-scaler which is synchronized to the PHB
clock (PPC60x processor clock). The output of the prescaler enables the
decrement of the four timers. The timers may be used for system timing or
to generate periodic interrupts. Each timer has four registers which are
used for configuration and control. They are:
Current Count Register
Base Count Register
Vector-Priority Register
Destination Register
Interrupt Delivery Modes
The direct and distributed interrupt delivery modes are supported. Note
that the direct delivery mode has sub modes of multicast or non-multicast.
The IPI’s and Timer interrupts operate in the direct delivery mode. The
externally sourced or I/O interrupts operate in the distributed mode.
In the direct delivery mode, the interrupt is directed to one or both
processors. If it is directed to two processors (i.e. multicast), it will be
delivered to two processors. The interrupt is delivered to the processor
when the priority of the interrupt is greater than the priority contained in
the task register for that processor, and when the priority of the interrupt is
greater than any interrupt which is in-service for that processor. An
interrupt is considered to be in service from the time its vector is returned
during an interrupt acknowledge cycle until an EOI is received for that
interrupt. The EOI cycle indicates the end of processing for the highest
priority in service interrupt.
