4.1.2.5. Receiver Status

The PCIe specification requires that the PHY encode the receiver status on a 3-bit status signal (pipe_rxstatus[2:0]).

This status signal is used by the PHY-MAC layer for its operation. The PIPE interface block receives the status signals from the transceiver channel PCS and PMA blocks, and encodes the status on the pipe_rxstatus[2:0] signal to the FPGA fabric. The encoding of the status signals on the pipe_rxstatus[2:0] signal is compliant with the PCIe specification.
