在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:6 }8 [" H7 U8 x4 j6 @5 ~
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.

well as in certain timing parameters. The Intel ICH has been engineered to accommodate both interfaces, b3 s+ U( q8 Q% R5 F
which allows the Intel FWH interface signals to be communicated over the same set of pins as LPC. The

This ensures that all LPC devices present on the shared interface will ignore cycles destined for the- w' F6 W" U7 a1 I

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.
