在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:3 C% q+ D6 D3 f( z- G
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.8 i# S. ^: Z3 d5 e" F! B4 }8 b: O6 N
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical# p2 G I$ M0 D& T" t" W; o. s5 x1 Q

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.
