CIM_LogicalElement 91
CIM_MemoryMappedIO
The CIM_MemoryMappedIO class explained in Table 3-41 addresses both
memory and port I/O resources for personal computer architecture memory
mapped I/O.
Shareable Indicates whether the IRQ can be shared.
A value of TRUE indicates that the IRQ can be
shared.
Boolean
Hardware Indicates whether the interrupt is hardware- or
software-based. (A value of TRUE indicates that
the interrupt is hardware based.) On a personal
computer, a hardware IRQ is a physical wire to a
programmable interrupt controller (PIC) chip
set through which the microprocessor can be
notified of time critical events. Some IRQ lines
are reserved for standard devices such as the
keyboard, diskette drive, and the system clock.
A software interrupt is a programmatic
mechanism to allow an application to get the
attention of the processor.
