II 14.1 software release:
• Reduced Quartus II compilation warnings by 50%.
The Arria V Hard IP for PCI Express with the Avalon-MM interface supports the following features:
• Complete protocol stack including the Transaction, Data Link, and Physical Layers implemented as
hard IP.
• Support for ×1, ×2, ×4, and ×8 configurations with Gen1 and Gen2 lane rates for Root Ports and
Endpoints.
• Dedicated 16 KByte receive buffer.
• Optional hard reset controller for Gen2.
• Optional support for Configuration via Protocol (CvP) using the PCIe link allowing the I/O and core
bitstreams to be stored separately.
• Qsys example designs demonstrating parameterization, design modules, and connectivity.
• Extended credit allocation settings to better optimize the RX buffer space based on application type.
• Optional end-to-end cyclic redundancy code (ECRC) generation and checking and advanced error
reporting (AER) for high reliability applications.
Easy to use:
• Flexible configuration.
• No license requirement.
• Example designs to get started.
