1.5. PCIe* Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1 Hard IP (Embedded HardCopy Block)

Stratix® V devices have PCIe* hard IP designed for performance, ease-of-use, and increased functionality. The PCIe* hard IP consists of the PCS, data link, and transaction layers. The PCIe* hard IP supports Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1 end point and root port up to x8 lane configurations.

The Stratix® V PCIe* hard IP operates independently from the core logic, which allows the PCIe* link to wake up and complete link training in less than 100 ms while the Stratix® V device completes loading the programming file for the rest of the FPGA. The PCIe* hard IP also provides added functionality, which helps support emerging features such as Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) or optional protocol extensions. In addition, the Stratix® V device PCIe* hard IP has improved end-to-end data path protection using ECC and enables device CvP.

In all Stratix® V devices, the primary PCIe* hard IP that supports CvP is always in the bottom left corner of the device (IOBANK_B0L) when viewing the die from the top.
