4.12.1.1. Physical Layout of Hard IP in Cyclone V Devices

Cyclone V devices include one or two Hard IP for PCI Express IP cores. The following figures illustrate the placement of the PCIe IP cores, transceiver banks, and channels. Note that the bottom left IP core includes the CvP functionality. The other Hard IP blocks do not include the CvP functionality. Transceiver banks include six channels. Within a bank, channels are arranged in 3-packs. GXB_L0 contains channels 0–2, GXB_L1 includes channels 3–5, and so on.
