How to prevent PCIe HIP from entering L2 low power state?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    In some scenarios, issues may arise when the PCIe HIP enters L2 low power state.

    Some symptoms may include:
       -LTSSM being stuck in L2 low power state
       -PCIe enumeration issues after entering L2

    Resolution

    There are two methods that a user can use to address issues when the PCI Express HIP enters L2 low power state.


    To prevent the PCI Express HIP from entering L2 low power state.
    - Tie pme_to_cr to 1\'b0.

    Another way to address the issue is to implement user logic that will reset the PCIe core when the LTSSM goes to L2.idle.
