Anyone ported AN532 PCIe to Arria2GX dev kit?

Has anyone ported the PCIe reference design for App Note 532 to the Arria II GX dev kit - and had the PC host GUI work? If so, can you share the project or any insight? -Thanks

I am also trying to port AN532 to the Arria II GX Dev Board but having no luck. What I did find in the PCI Express Compiler User Guide in the SOPC Builder Design Flow Chapter 2 is a paragraph saying " For Stratix IV GX and Arria II GX designs, you must instantiate the ALT_RECONFIG megafunction and connect it to three pins from your SOPC Builder system that are required to dynamically reconfigure the transceiver.....

reconfig_Clk_<PCIe_Compiler_Instance_name>

reconfig_fromgxb_<PCIe_Compiler_Instance_name>

reconfig_togxb_<PCIe_Compiler_Instance_name>"

But I still couldn't get the LINUX system to recognise the board. Whereas loading the factory default works OK with LINUX showing the correct Device ID etc.

Is your FPGA design working but you are only having problems with the GUI OR you are having problems with both?
