3. Interface Overview
The PCI Express Base Specification 3.0 defines a packet interface for communication between a Root Port and an Endpoint. When you select the Avalon® -ST interface, Transaction Layer Packets (TLP) transfer data between the Root Port and an Endpoint using the Avalon-ST TX and RX interfaces. The interfaces are named from the point-of-view of the user logic.
The following figures show the PCIe hard IP Core top-level interfaces and the connections to the Application Layer and system.
The following sections introduce these interfaces. Refer to the Interfaces section in the Block Description chapter for detailed descriptions and timing diagrams.
