Errata Detail
Errata No. 1
Problem: There is a difference in how priority of timer interrupts are asserted between the
original AMD part and the Innovasic part.
Description: In the original AMD part, timer interrupts cannot be interrupted by another timer
interrupt, even if the new timer interrupt is of a higher priority. The Innovasic part will interrupt
a timer interrupt with a higher-priority timer interrupt. Additionally, if a lower-priority timer
interrupt is interrupted with a higher-priority timer interrupt and another incident of the lower-
priority interrupt occurs during the processing of the higher-priority interrupt, upon execution of
the EOI, a new lower-priority interrupt will be initiated, possibly orphaning the original lower-
priority timer interrupt.
