can we implement PCIe root port on cyclone v gt development board ?? and the board is having pice 4x edge connector (male) not female one, so does that is required for root port feasibility??

Thank you. I am referring the example design you suggested. As you said that there is no ready solution for Nios to act as a host for root port, So is there a feasibility of implementing NIOS as Root port or not in the board cyclone v gt development board(5cgtfd9e5f35c7) ? And if not then why?? Actually I have already purchased this board so if there is some way to do that with this board it will be good .
