hi, i would like to implement a PCIe to PCIe bridge (ArriaV GX) between 2 Hosts (both Root Complex).

i am thinking of using 2 PCIe Cores, each will contain the same characteristics (device id, BARs...) of one of the HOSTs. basically the goal is to transfer the TLPs between one Host to another. i wou...

Let me get this right..

  1. The Processor and EP sit on a separate PCB outside. Processor is connected to EP via PCIe link internally
  2. The Host system has a PCIe RP card in one of the PCIe slots.
  3. The EP and RP are connected via PCIe cable.

You want to swap out the PCIe EP on the processor side PCB to a RP and also swap the RP PCIe card in the Host system to one with an FPGA which has 2 EPs in it.
