13 years ago --- Quote Start --- i have a problem with the PCIe in the cyclone IV FPGA: i have implement the PCIe HIP using Qsys on Quartus II 11.0 with the modular SGDMA and a On-Chip-Memory. i connect the CIV with my PC using windriver Application. i use some functions to mesure the throughput. the problem is that i have the same throughput even if i use x1 or x4 implemention ( 208 MBytes/s), and normaly in x4 configuration that can be four times this result. --- Quote End --- Can you please look at the number of lanes the link negotiated to? While testing the Qsys PCIe core in x4 mode, I found that the core negotiated to either x1, x2, or x4. I have not yet determined why. I'd be interested in hearing if you are facing the same issue. Here's a thread with my test results. Look at the document. It has comments on using lspci to determine the link width. http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35678 Cheers, Dave
