4.3.3. Hot Plug Interface

Hot Plug support means that the device can be added to or removed from a system during runtime. The Hot Plug Interface in the R-Tile IP for PCIe allows an Intel FPGA with this IP to safely provide this capability. To implement hot plug in an R-tile RP, you must enable the parameter Enable hot plug under the PCIe Avalon Settings tab of the IP Parameter Editor. This enables the hot plug interface in the IP. The interface displays a list of signals reported by the on-board hot plug components in the Downstream Port. This interface is available only if the Slot Status Register of the PCI Express Capability Structure is enabled. Refer to the Slot Status Register of the PCI Express Capability Structure for additional information. You must implement the required capabilities and user logic to drive this interface and monitor the pX_irq_status_o signal. The pX_irq_status_o signal is available when the Enable Legacy Interrupt checkbox is enabled under the PCIe Avalon Settings tab of the IP Parameter Editor.

Table 64.  Hot Plug Interface Signals
Signal Name Direction Description EP/RP/BP Clock Domain
pX_sys_atten_button_pressed_i Input Attention Button Pressed.

Indicates that the system attention button was pressed, and sets the Attention Button Pressed bit in the Slot Status Register.

RP coreclkout_hip
pX_sys_pwr_fault_det_i Input Power Fault Detected.

Indicates the power controller detected a power fault at this slot.

RP coreclkout_hip
pX_sys_cmd_cpled_int_i Input Command Completed Interrupt.

Indicates that the Hot Plug controller completed a command.

RP coreclkout_hip
pX_sys_pre_det_state_i Input Indicates whether or not a card is present in the slot.
  • 0: slot is empty.
  • 1: card is present in the slot.
RP coreclkout_hip
pX_sys_mrl_sensor_state_i Input MRL Sensor State.
Indicates the state of the manually operated retention latch (MRL) sensor.
  • 0: MRL is closed.
  • 1: MRL is open.
RP coreclkout_hip
pX_sys_eml_interlock_engaged_i Input Indicates whether the system electromechanical interlock is engaged, and controls the state of the electromechanical interlock status bit in the Slot Status Register. RP coreclkout_hip
