New ContributorPCIe Gen2 on Cyclone V GT FPGA Dev Kit
I modified the altera_pcie/altera_pcie_hip_ast_ed/example_design/cv/pcie_de_gen1_x4_ast64.qsys file to support gen2 x4
I generated and compiled the code and tried loading it on the devkit.
While the gen1 sof file enumerates, the gen2 version fails to enumerate.
Both gen1 and gen2 pass verification.
Are there any changes in board settings that are required to get the gen2 bitfile to enumerate?

Hi,
- May I know what is the device OPN that you are using ?
- Do you capture any .stp ? If not , do appreciate if you can do that, with that we can know where the LTSSM stuck at, hence further debug can be done.
- If you not sure how to capture that, please let me know, I can guide you step by step.

VijayvithalWhat is a device OPN?
I tried installing signaltap and capturing the boot sequence, but since I need to reboot the machine to get it to enumerate I did not make much progress there.
Please inform about the signals that I need to capture and I will do it.- Wincent_Altera
Hi Vijay
What is a device OPN? Is the device ordering number, just want to check if I could replicate this (ONLY IF i have the same device)
Example of device OPN https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/cyclone/v-gt.htmlPlease inform about the signals that I need to capture and I will do it.
- npor
- reset_status
- nreset_status
- pin_perstn
- current_speed
- dl_ltssm[4:0]

The device is 5CGT–D9-C7N https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/cyclone/v-gt.html
The signals after running `echo 1 |sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan`I am connecting to the remote machine via the following steps
```
ssh -L 1309:localhost:1309 remote
nohup jtagd
```
on local machine I am running `jtagconfig` to update the connection
After a reboot of remote machine I am not able to trigger a capture because signaltap reports invalid JTAG configuration

Hi Vijay,
May I know is this gen2 (fail) design or gen1 ?
What is the version of Quartus you use to compile this design ?

Hi Vijay,
I seeing your ltssm is stuck at 00h which is in detect.quiet stage.
This mostly happen due to the host Can't detect far end Receiver.
I suggest to check with the Connectivity problem or Board component problem/- Is this plug in to slot that supported gen2 ?
- do you change the BIOS setting from "auto" to "gen2"
- Please check your VCCR/VCCT , ensure that it is 1.1v

Wincent,
The board is plugged into gen4 pcie slot.Regarding the pin assignments,
The Board reference manual recommends PCML for the serdes pins.
We are currently using this setting
