ContributorThe Hard IP reconfiguration interface only can be used to reconfigure the read-only register. For instance, use this interface to modify the device ID register at run time. It cannot be used to change the pcie link speed from Gen3 to Gen2.
Users need to set the intended link speed during IP parameterization, recompile Quartus to get the .sof, then reconfigure the device.
New ContributorHello, we can't modify the deviceID either, could you provide some example? We just want to enumerate to the BIOS a maximun speed of gen2. We can do it from intel BIOS, but this option is not available for AMD processor, and we would like to change the value of maximun speed supported.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
ContributorA10 user guide below at section '5.7.1. Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface' has the description and timing diagram of hip_reconfig_* interface.

ContributorMay I know what is your intention to modify the deviceID? Is that you want to try using the hip_reconfig* interface to modify the deviceID, after that use the same interface/method to also modify the speed_change_hwtcl to change the pcie link speed?
New ContributorGood morning, first of all, first of all, the memory map is missed on the paper!!! "https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_a10_pcie_avmm.pdf#pag..." We have the signals description, but nothing about the addressing of that bus!!!!, or some information about the register to be read or write????. We have found an memory map on UG-01145_avmm, but the address doesnt fit with the data readed on the real core (we use Signal Tap to see all the content on the bus). The fisrt word vendor id is readed from address 0x08 intead form address 0x89!!! And so on (everything seem to be offset from address 0x89 to address 0x8???? how is that possible? Could you provide the internal memory map of the hard IP for pcie???). We just modify the device id to test the interface its workuing, but not working properly. The BIOS always read the original value, no the written througth the reconfiguration interface. We also tried to write the register 0x9F, we try to modify the PCie Capability Version from compliant PCIe Specification 3.0 to PCIe Specification 2.0, in order to force BIOS to enumerate our device as a gen2 compliance. On pcie standard there is register called Link Capabilities Register, for enumeration of supported bandwith and Link width, there is any chance to be mofied from that interface?? We attach our user code and also the UG-01145. Thanks in advance and best regards.
