Hi, I am trying to use intel's PCIE Avalon MM DMA IP core. Is there a way for me to generate this core outside platform designer? Also is there an example to instantiate this dma engine without using platform designer.

Hi I think this is because Platform manager provide the auto address mapping for the avalon-mm port in PCIe, thus seldom user will need it without the Platform manager.

Yes, I think the only way is to generate the PCIe under platform manager and export the port to your top level.
