4.4.4. Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface

This interface is an Avalon® -MM slave interface with a 32‑bit address and an 8‑bit data bus. You can use this interface to dynamically modify the value of configuration registers. Note that after a warm reset or cold reset, changes made to the configuration registers of the Hard IP via this interface are lost as these registers revert back to their default values.

Note: This interface can be used in Endpoint, Root Port and TLP Bypass modes. However, it must be enabled if Root Port or TLP Bypass mode is selected.

In Root Port mode, the application logic uses this interface to access its PCIe configuration space to perform link control functions (such as Hot Reset, link disable, or link retrain).

In TLP Bypass mode, the Hard IP forwards the received Type0/1 Configuration request TLPs to the application logic, which must respond with Completion TLPs with a status of Successful Completion (SC), Unsupported Request (UR), Configuration Request Retry Status (CRS), or Completer Abort (CA). If a received Configuration request TLP needs to update a PCIe configuration space register, the application logic needs to use the Hard IP Reconfiguration interface to access that PCIe configuration space register.

Table 63.  Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface Signals
Signal Name Direction Description EP/RP/BP Clock
pX_hip_reconfig_readdata_o[7:0] where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Output Avalon® -MM read data outputs EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_readdatavalid_o where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Output Avalon® -MM read data valid. When asserted, this signal indicates that the data on hip_reconfig_readdata_o[7:0] is valid. EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_write_i where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Input Avalon® -MM write enable EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_read_i where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Input Avalon® -MM read enable.
Note: This interface is not pipelined. User application must wait for the return of the data from the current read (on hip_reconfig_readdata_o[7:0]) before starting another read operation.
EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[31:0] where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Input

Avalon® -MM reconfiguration address.

Note:
Following is the mapping for the pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[31:0] bus:
  • Virtual Function Number: pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[31:21].
  • Reserved (must be set to 0): pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[20]
  • Physical Function Number: pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[19:17].
  • Virtual Function Active: pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[16].
  • Register Offset (please refer to column Address Offset in the tables in Appendix A/B/C): pX_hip_reconfig_address_i[15:0]
  • Example 1: To access the MSI-X Capability Structure for PF1 with SR-IOV disabled, set the pX_hip_reconfig_address_i to 0x0002_00B0.
  • Example 2: To access the MSI-X Capability Structure for PF0, set the pX_hip_reconfig_address_i to 0x0021_00B0.
EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_writedata_i[7:0] where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Input Avalon® -MM write data inputs EP/RP/BP slow_clk
pX_hip_reconfig_waitrequest_o where X = 0, 1, 2, 3 Output When asserted, this signal indicates the IP core is not ready to respond to a request. EP/RP/BP slow_clk
