ContributorYou are just repeating what I had done.
This is making no sense, what I am asking is that can or could it possible to use PCIex4 with 2 custom phy in any form of configuration.
BTW I had successfully fitter top with individual recfg controller. On PCIe X2 case so please try it yourself.
This had violate what you had concluded.
Regular ContributorHi Brian,
Thank you for the update. I’m glad to hear that you’ve successfully fit the bank with PCIe x2, three duplex channels, and one TX-only channel.
Regarding your latest question on using PCIe x4 + two custom PHYs, could you please confirm whether the custom PHYs are full duplex? If they are, based on Figure 4‑5: 12 Transceiver Channels and 2 PCIe HIP Blocks with PCIe x2 and x4 Channel Placement in the Cyclone V Device Handbook, Volume 2: Transceivers, CH0–CH3 would be occupied by PCIe x4, with the CMU PLL sourced from CH4. In this configuration, there would not be sufficient resources to accommodate two additional full-duplex custom PHYs.
Regarding the reconfiguration controller, apologies for the earlier confusion, and thank you for pointing it out. To clarify, in Cyclone V devices, a maximum of one reconfiguration controller is allowed per transceiver bank (three transceiver channels).
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
ContributorI want your test project to cross check the setup of your full-duplex is align with what we are expecting.
That you placed 3 custom duplex and 1 TX with 2 channel PCIe, I think there is sometime not aligned.
Thanks,
Brian
There is still an issue on CH4 where you claim you had successfully fitter TX on that channel.
However this is unable to achieve from beginning to current state:
Where either CH2 CH3 CH5 also good to place whatever custom design.
So how you actually constraints or what settings are done to make this possible?
