在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:
; y4 T" e' `! i$ WThe firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.! f+ v7 e) @; i/ ^/ I
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical/ |" ~$ ?" A$ _& t
parameters of the FWH interface are similar to those of the LPC interface, to provide compatibility8 \- p# e( ?. E
between the interfaces, but differ in cases mentioned earlier in this section (clock pin capacitance), as

which allows the Intel FWH interface signals to be communicated over the same set of pins as LPC. The6 t; u6 W: \0 p
Intel FWH interface is designed to use an LPC-compatible start cycle, with a reserved cycle type code.

FWH, without becoming confused by the different protocol.

在ICH9上面LPC和FWH的数据地址控制信号线都是相同pin复用的,所以应该是二选一的吧.
