7.7. PIPE Mode Simulation

The PIPE Simulation Mode exposes extra signal ports in the F-Tile AVST IP for simulation purposes only.

You must implement the following steps to enable the simulation mode.
  1. Connect the PIPE signal ports such as o_txpipe[n]_* and i_rxpipe[n]_* to the ports of Verification IP (VIP).
  2. Connect to pin_perst of F-Tile AVST IP from VIP reset signal.
  3. Set the PIPE clock signals as below according to PCIe speed rate. For example, the frequencies as shown below is when Gen4 speed is deployed.
    • i_pclk_x4_l4 (250MHz)
    • i_pclk_x4_l12 (250MHz)
    • i_pclk_x8_l8 (250MHz)
    • i_pclk_x16_l0 (125MHz)
  4. Run the Logic Generation Flow to apply the connections.
  5. Add compile option +define+gdrb_GDR_PCIE_SS_DV to the simulation script. Example is as shown below.
    • USER_DEFINED_ELAB_OPTIONS= "+define+gdrb_GDR_PCIE_SS_DV"
