Here the transreciver rules are limited to pma no pcs. is there any limitation or need to use any other IP together to make it as pipe interface. Also does this device supports custom pcie controll...

Hi,

As I understand it, you have some inquiries related to the XCVR in the S10 devices. Would you mind to further elaborate on the specific Quartus version that you are using? Also, it would be great if you could share some screenshots on the issue observation to ensure we are on the same page.

Thank you very much.

    Hi cpchan

    Thanks for the response.

    I am using Quartus version 19.3.

    Before I used Stratix10 GX device which was L-tile H-tile, so there the phy transceiver has option of transceiver rule as gen3 pipe interface. which is standard as pcs ais included for easy integration.

    Now I changed the device (as per requirement) to stratix10 DX device which is E-tile P-tile. So here I can see the transceiver rule is limited to PMA i.e no pcs. So how can we integrate this phy with custom controller as standered is pipe interface for PCIe.

    screenshot attached for both device.
