As suggested, I tried driving the npor with the pin_perstn signal but no change in the output.

Me and Harris had a second call after few mins again and here is the conclusion from the call.

Few pointers that we discussed in the second call after I tried the experiment quickly.

  1. The current reset status that we captured in the signal tap is correct. Since the signal is active high and not active low. So original output was correct.
  2. Since the design has already enumerated the it is out of reset.
  3. Reviewed the IP configuration and the Tool version with Harris.
  4. I have attached the ppt with design description and the signal tap file with all the signals captured value as requested by Harris
  5. Harris to review the files and the ppt and get back to us with nest steps.

    As mentioned by Harris:

    I checked the signals in .stp file, they were probed in post-fitting mode which was not correct way since signals might be no exist after full compilation. After I changed to pre-synthesis way, we can find PCIe HIP works well like ‘tl_cfg_xxx’ are toggling and ‘tx_st_ready’ is high. Currently, the problem is in user logic, why user logic doesn’t send out packets on AVST TX interface. Customer will need to debug the user logic next.
