PCIe loopack in cyclone IV GX

Question

hello , I want to test the  PCIe protocol on a Cyclone IV GX with loopack. is that it is possible to do on the same card (serial loopack ) ??  thks,

altera_forum · Answer

how do you expect to loopback the PCIE? in PCIe requests expect completions for non-posted requests. Or are you just expecting to see the same packets you sent out in the first place?

i am just expecting to see the same packets that i sent it first, but i want to do this in the same device.

I saw that there are 3 three types of loopack, and the type used in the Cyclone IV GX is reversal parallel loopack , that is why I need another PCIe device.

so i just want to test on a single card , I want to just do a SERIAL loopack.

is it possible on the Cyclone IV GX?!

I  generated the IP compiler using MegaWizard plug-in manager , and I need help interfacing the IP at top level to do a transaction memory via PCI  Express, is it explained somewhere ? Thanks

Have you started looking at the PCIe user guide? and also got yourself the PCIe spec?

user guide: http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_pci_express.pdf

great PCIe express architecture book: http://www.mindshare.com/shop/?c=b&section=0ba200b5

yes I have already seen, I understood a the PCI express  protocol (layers,trasaction types ...) but I need to  interface PCIe  IP I have already generated with the MegaWizard Plug-In  Manager in order to guarantee successful data transfer, through PCI  Express.
