15 years agoHello Dave,
Yes PCI has avalon interfaces[ has two Avalon slave ports and one Avalon master port and bunch of conduits], when I wrote to the RAM I connected the PCIe Avalon Master to the slave of RAM and did not any Avalon MM master between these two components. _hw.tcl file gets generated only for individual componets that we create right?, or does it get generated for the sopc systens aswell? No there is no specific BFM alled PCI BFM, but there are Avalon Master BFM and Avalon Slave BFM. The slave of PCI can be driven by Master BFMs and the Master of PCI can drive slave BFMs and conduit BFM can be connected for the condiuts. Then using API calls a test program[.sv] can be written to test PCIe. Thanks Aditya
