Why is the Arria® V GZ Hard IP for PCI Express "Enable HIP Status Bus" always enabled?

Description

The PCI Express® tcl file "altera_pcie_avgz_hip_avmm_hw.tcl" found in the Quartus® II  install directory: \altera\<your_version>\ip\altera\altera_pcie\altera_pcie_avgz_hip_avmm\ is missing the enable_hip_status such that the features are always enabled.

Resolution

The following lines need to be added after the set enable_hip_status_ext section to ensure the Hard IP Status Bus can be enabled and disabled:

 

set enable_hip_status [ get_parameter_value  CG_ENABLE_HIP_STATUS ]

  if {   == 1 } {

      add_pcie_hip_port_status

      }

 

This problem has been fixed in Quartus® II Software Version 14.0.
