6.1.11. Resets

An embedded hard reset controller (HRC) generates the reset for PCIe core logic, PMA, PCS, and Application. To support the 100 ms PCIe wake-up time, the embedded reset controller connects to the SDM. This connection allows the FPGA periphery to configure and begin operation before the FPGA fabric is programmed.

The reset logic requires a free running clock that is stable and available to the IP core at configuration time.

Signal

Direction

Description

currentspeed[1:0] Output

Indicates the current speed of the PCIe module. The following

encodings are defined:
  • 2'b00: Undefined
  • 2'b01: Gen1
  • 2'b10: Gen2
  • 2'b11: Gen3
npor

Input

The Application Layer drives this active low reset signal. npor resets the entire IP core, PCS, PMA, and PLLs. npor should be held for a minimum of 20 ns. Gen3 x16 variants, should hold npor for at least 10 cycles. This signal is edge, not level sensitive; consequently, a low value on this signal does not hold custom logic in reset. This signal cannot be disabled.
pin_perst

Input

Active low reset from the PCIe reset pin of the device. Resets the datapath and control registers.
ninit_done Input This is an active-low asynchronous input. A "1" on this signal indicates that the FPGA device is not yet fully configured. A "0" indicates the device has been configured and is in normal operating mode. To use the ninit_done input, instantiate the Reset Release Intel FPGA IP in your design and use its ninit_done output to drive the input of the Avalon® streaming IP for PCIe. For more details on how to use this input, refer to Including the Reset Release Intel® FPGA IP in Your Design.

pld_clk_inuse

Output This reset signal has the same effect as reset_status. This signal is provided for backwards compatibility with Arria® 10 devices.

pld_core_ready

Input When asserted, indicates that the Application Layer is ready. The IP core can releases reset after this signal is asserted.

reset_status

Output Active high reset status. When high, indicates that the IP core is not ready for usermode. reset_status is deasserted only when npor is deasserted and the IP core is not in reset. Use reset_status to drive the reset of your application. Synchronous to coreclkout_hip.

clr_st

Output

clr_st has the same functionality as reset_status. It is provided for backwards compatibility with previous device families.

serdes_pll_locked

Output

When asserted, indicates that the PLL that generates coreclkout_hip is locked. In pipe simulation mode this signal is always asserted.
