IP Compiler for PCI Express npor Input Signal is Not Gated by the gxb_powerdown and pll_powerdown Signals in the DMA Chaining Example

Description

The npor input signal to the IP Compiler for PCI Express must be gated by the gxb_powerdown and pll_powerdown signals, to avoid bringing the hard IP out of reset while offset cancellation is in progress. However, in the generated _plus.v file, the npor signal is not gated as required. As a result, in the chaining DMA example, the npor signal can be asserted while offset cancellation is still in progress.

Resolution

To avoid bringing the hard IP out of reset while offset cancellation is in progress, add user logic to gate the npor signal with the gxb_powerdown and pll_powerdown signals.

This issue will be fixed in a future version of the IP Compiler for PCI Express chaining DMA example.
