LogiCORE IP PLBv46 RC/EP
Bridge for PCI Express (v4.07.a)
Product Specification
Introduction
This document defines the functional operation of the
PLBv46 Root Complex and Endpoint Bridge for PCI
Express®, hereafter called PLBv46 Bridge. The PLBv46
Bridge is an interface between the Processor Local Bus
(PLB) and the PCI Express (PCIe®) bus.
This document provides the definitions for all of the
functional modules, registers, and interfaces that need
to be implemented in the PLBv46 Bridge. This
document defines the hardware implementation and
software interfaces to the PLBv46 Bridge in a FPGA.
Features
• Configurable Root Complex or Endpoint
functionality for Virtex®-6 FPGA
• Endpoint functionality for Virtex-5 and Spartan®-6
FPGAs
• Supports PLB access to PCIe space
• Supports PCIe access to PLB space
• Translates PLB transactions to appropriate PCIe
Transaction Layer Packets (TLPs)
• Tracks and manages TLPs that require completion
processing
• Indicates error conditions detected by the PCIe
core through interrupts
• Supports up to six 32-bit or six 64-bit remote PLB
Base Address Register (BAR) regions mapped to
PCIe address space
• Address spaces are defined with a base address, an
upper address, space type (I/O or Memory) and an
address translation value
• I/O space with 32-bit address supported when the
Virtex-6 FPGA is configured as Root Complex
• Supports up to three 32-bit or 64-bit PCIe Base
Address Register (BAR) memory regions mapped
to PLB address space when configured as
Endpoint
