Can't get PCIe (avalon-MM) reference design to work on Arria 10 Dev Kit.

Hi all, Our research lab recently purchased an Arria 10 GX FPGA Dev Kit. We would like conduct some studies which require transferring data between the host computer and the FPGA via PCIe, so w...

Are you using the JTAG to program the FPGA or programming the EPQ flash? If you're using the JTAG, the FPGA will loose its configuration once it is powered off. How are you able to keep the PICE dev kit powered on when you power off the PC? Are you using a separate power supply for the FPGA Kit?

Why not try to program the EPQ flash in the kit and then do then insert it into the system when its powered off. The issue could also lie due to incorrect PCIe enumeration , coz you've not power-cycled the PCIe card after programming it.

I would suggest you use another system for testing out the FPGA Dev kit and one for programming it. Not sure if using the same system like this will help / work out.
