Hi,

There is a short article on the Wiki about the APIC which also has links to some useful forum threads and datasheets. Once you get the basic routines in place to write to a given APIC register, actually setting it up is as simple as the PIC. Remember to enable the APIC in the spurious interrupt register and to send EOI to the APIC as necessary!

Cheers,
Adam
