7.1.1.3. Additional Debug Tools

Use the Hard IP reconfiguration interface and PHY reconfiguration interface on the P-Tile Avalon® -ST IP for PCI Express to access additional registers (for example, receiver detection, lane reversal etc.).

Figure 69. Register Access for Debug

Using the Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface

Refer to the section Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface for details on this interface and the associated address map.

The following table lists the address offsets and bit settings for the PHY status registers. Use the Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface to access these read-only registers.

Table 113.  Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface Register Map for PHY Status
Offset Bit Position Register

0x0003E8 0x0003B0 [3:0] Lane select (0x0: Lane 0, 0x1: Lane 1, …, 0xF: Lane15)
0x0003EA 0x0003B2 [0] RX polarity

[3] RX Electrical Idle
[4] TX Electrical Idle
0x0003EC 0x0003B4 [7] Framing error
0x0003ED 0x0003B5 [7] Lane reversal
Follow the steps below to access registers in Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface Register Map for PHY Status using the Hard IP reconfiguration interface:
  1. Enable the Hard IP reconfiguration interface (User Avalon® -MM interface) using the IP Parameter Editor.
  2. Set the lane number for which you want to read the status by performing a read-modify-write to the address hip_reconfig_addr_i[20:0] with write data of lane number on hip_reconfig_writedata_i[7:0] using the Hard IP reconfiguration interface signals.
    • hip_reconfig_write_i = 1’b1
    • hip_reconfig_addr_i[20:0] = 0x0003E8
    • hip_reconfig_writedata_i[3:0] = <Lane number>, where Lane number = 4’h0 for lane 0, 4’h1 for lane 1, 4’h2 for lane 2, …
  3. Read the status of the register you want by performing a read operation from the address hip_reconfig_addr_i[20:0] using the Hard IP reconfiguration interface signals.
Example 1: To read the RX detection status of Lane0 using the registers
  1. Enable the Hard IP reconfiguration interface using the IP Parameter Editor.
  2. Perform read-modify-write to address 0x0003E8 to set the lane number to 0 using the Hard IP reconfiguration interface signals.
    • hip_reconfig_write_i = 1’b1
    • hip_reconfig_addr_i[20:0] = 0x0003E8
    • hip_reconfig_writedata_i[3:0] = 4'h0
  3. Read the status of the RX detection register by performing a read operation from the address 0x0003E9[1] using the Hard IP reconfiguration interface signals.
    • hip_reconfig_read_i = 1’b1
    • hip_reconfig_addr_i[20:0] = 0x0003EA
    • hip_reconfig_readdata_o[1] = 1'b1 (Far end receiver detected)
