Hie,

My apologies for the delay in my first repsonse.

I am sorry to inform that Cyclone V E FPGA does not have a PCIe hard IP to support CvP. If you looking to use CvP, the you will need to use Cyclone V devices with transceivers which is Cyclone V GX,GT,ST and SX.

This information in available in the overview chapter below:

Please let me know if you will like to me to recommend another development board that support CvP. if yes, you may consider Cyclone V GX development kit.

Do let me know if you have further follow up questions.
