Does PCIe HD IP include the PHY IP Core? How to pin assignment for differential?

Hi all,

I have one starter Kit of Arria V. And I want to realize one application with <Avalon-MM Arria V hard HD IP for PCIe>.

My 2 questions:

1. Does <Avalon-MM Arria V hard HD IP for PCIe> include the PHY IP Core?

Need I add the additional PHY IP Core for <Avalon-MM Arria V hard HD IP for PCIe>?

2. In the top-level entity of PHY IP Core of PCIe, which signals are for differential couples? How should I do pin-assignment for the differential?

I cannot find the pair of +/- signals in the interface PHY IP Core of PCIe. It is confusion.

I wait your professional answer.

Thanks in advance.
