A Target-only device can signal the host through GPIO that it wants to transfer data. The host processes the interrupt and simultaneously accesses all compliant devices through the Alert Response Address. Only the device(s) which generated the request will acknowledge the Alert Response Address.
To support alert response protocol, the IP implements alert response address inside Target logic. For this, TCTR.EN_ALRESPADR bit is implemented. When this bit is set, alert response address of 7’b000_1100 is always matched by the Target address match logic. When this bit is reset, the alert response address is not matched.
