It is pretty easy to get the BFM from v11.0 working in v11.0SP1. At least in our setup, there are only one or two files you need to get from v11.0 and overwrite in v11.0SP1. They are located in pcie_examples/common/testbench and are altpcietb_bfm_rpvar_64b_x8_gen1_pipen1b.vo and possibly altpcietb_bfm_rpvar_64b_x8_gen2_pipen1b.vo for a gen2 config. We are seeing some errors reported with Txelecidle with this setup, but it appears to recover and work just fine.
