Description
The PCI Express® core always operates as specified in the original configuration. The core_clk_out and Avalon® Interface width remain unchanged.
For example, assuming the Hard IP PCIe core is configured as Gen2x8, with pclk=500MHz, core_clk_out=250MHz, and Avalon width=128. If it is down-trained to Gen1x1, it will operate in Gen1 settings with pclk=250MHz, core_clk_out=250MHz, and Avalon width=128.
Resolution
The above description applies to both Hard IP and Soft IP.
