在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:
! p% ^1 K' r8 m- u* gThe firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.
( t$ R" w1 ^# m1 h* BThis interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical

between the interfaces, but differ in cases mentioned earlier in this section (clock pin capacitance), as

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.
