PCI Express Mailbox Registers

The PCI Express Root Complex typically requires write access to a set of PCI
Express-to-Avalon-MM mailbox registers and read-only access to a set of
Avalon-MM-to-PCI Express mailbox registers. Eight mailbox registers are available.

The PCI Express-to-Avalon-MM Mailbox registers are writable at the addresses
shown in

Table 8–28

. Writing to one of these registers causes the corresponding bit in

the Avalon-MM register to be set to a one.
