PCIe core LTSSM signals

Hi guys,

I've observed some "weird" issue today.

I'm pulling Test_out[4:0] out to my Logic so that I can read them as system status.

When I do that I have intermittent link training issue. Disconnect the lines will make the problem go away.

- Connect those LTSSM bits to my logic: intermittent, failed to nego every 5-6 times

- Disconnect those LTSMM from my logic OR Register them first before feeding into my logic: issue goes away.

Those LTSSM comes directly from HIP, any chance that lots of fanout/delay would cause internal statemachine malfunction?

I repeatedly connect and disconnect the LTSSM from my logic several times and always be able to reproduced.

Baffled by this thing !!!

Thanks a bunch

Jeff
