Dear Sir,
I am developing a product that uses the Altera FPGA (Stratix-V). I am designing FPGA logic using Hard IP for PCI Express. I assign the two PCI Express port in FPGA. One port is assigned Native Endpoint, and other one port is assigned Root-point. I have experience with the Endpoint, but I don't have experience with the Root-point. So, I have some question. 1.On page 8-48 of "Stratix V Hard IP for PCI Express User Guide(May 2013)" have the following description. "In Root Port mode, do not access the Configuration Space using TLPs and the LMI bus simultaneously." Can I do? Configuration how without using the LMI? 2.Please tell me an example of setting the configuration space at the root-point. 3.When I use the Root-point on Hard IP, do I need any special settings compared to Native Endpoint? Could you advice to me from these situations? Best Regards, kahaluu
