turn causes an interrupt to the local processor that implements the PowerPC architecture because the
register indirectly drives an interrupt line to the local processor. The outbound register allows the local
processor to write an outbound message which, in turn, causes the outbound interrupt signal INTA to
assert.
The interrupt to the local processor is cleared by setting the appropriate bit in the inbound message
interrupt status register. The interrupt to PCI (INTA) is cleared by setting the appropriate bit in the
outbound interrupt status register.
9.12.1.1 Inbound Message Registers (IMR x)
The inbound message registers, described in Figure 9-60 and Figure 9-46 , are accessible from the PCI bus
and the 60x bus in both host and agent modes.

9.12.1.2 Outbound Message Registers (OMR x)
The outbound message registers, described in Figure 9-61 and Figure 9-47 , are accessible from the PCI
bus and the 60x bus in both host and agent modes.
