Description

Enable Hard IP dynamic reconfiguration of PCIe read-only registers

On/Off

When On, you can use the Hard IP reconfiguration bus to dynamically reconfigure Hard IP read-only registers. For more information refer to Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface.

With this parameter set to On, the hip_reconfig_clk port is visible on the block symbol of the Avalon® -MM Hard IP component. In the System Contents window, connect a clock source to this hip_reconfig_clk port. For example, you can export hip_reconfig_clk and drive it with a free-running clock on the board whose frequency is in the range of 100 to 125 MHz. Alternatively, if your design includes a clock bridge driven by such a free-running clock, the out_clk of the clock bridge can be used to drive hip_reconfig_clk.

Enable transceiver dynamic reconfiguration

On/Off

When On, provides an Avalon® -MM interface that software can drive to change the values of transceiver registers.

With this parameter set to On, the xcvr_reconfig_clk, reconfig_pll0_clk, and reconfig_pll1_clk ports are visible on the block symbol of the Avalon® -MM Hard IP component. In the System Contents window, connect a clock source to these ports. For example, you can export these ports and drive them with a free-running clock on the board whose frequency is in the range of 100 to 125 MHz. Alternatively, if your design includes a clock bridge driven by such a free-running clock, the out_clk of the clock bridge can be used to drive these ports.

Enable Native PHY, LCPLL, and fPLL ADME for Toolkit On/Off When On, the generated IP includes an embedded Native PHY Debug Master Endpoint (NPDME) that connects internally to an Avalon® -MM slave interface for dynamic reconfiguration. The NPDME can access the transceiver reconfiguration space. It can perform certain test and debug functions via JTAG using the System Console.
Enable PCIe* Link Inspector

On/Off

When On, the PCIe* Link Inspector is enabled. Use this interface to monitor the PCIe* link at the Physical, Data Link and Transaction layers. You can also use the Link Inspector to reconfigure some transceiver registers. You must turn on Enable transceiver dynamic reconfiguration, Enable dynamic reconfiguration of PCIe read-only registers and Enable Native PHY, LCPLL, and fPLL ADME for Toolkit to use this feature.

For more information about using the PCIe* Link Inspector refer to Link Inspector Hardware in the Troubleshooting and Observing Link Status appendix.

Enable PCIe* Link Inspector AVMM Interface

On/Off

When On, the PCIe Link Inspector Avalon® -MM interface is exported. In addition, the JTAG to Avalon® Bridge IP instantiation is included in the Design Example generation for debug.
