Altera Arria V Avalon-MM - Manual (Page 90)

The TX TLP programming model scales with the data width. The Application Layer performs the same
writes for both the 64- and 128-bit interfaces. The Application Layer can only have one outstanding non-
posted request at a time. The Application Layer must use tags 16–31 to identify non-posted requests.
Note: For Root Ports, the Avalon-MM bridge does not filter Type 0 Configuration Requests by device
number. Application Layer software should filter out all requests to Avalon-MM Root Port
registers that are not for device 0. Application Layer software should return an Unsupported
Request Completion Status.
Sending a Write TLP
The Application Layer performs the following sequence of Avalon-MM accesses to the CRA slave port to
send a Memory Write Request:
1. Write the first 32 bits of the TX TLP to
RP_TX_REG0.
2. Write the next 32 bits of the TX TLP to
RP_TX_REG1.
3. Write the
RP_TX_CNTRL.SOP
to 1’b1 to push the first two dwords of the TLP into the Root Port TX
FIFO.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2. The second write to
RP_TX_REG1
is required, even for three dword TLPs with
aligned data.
5. If the packet is complete, write
RP_TX_CNTRL
to 2’b10 to indicate the end of the packet. If the packet is
not complete, write 2’b00 to
RP_TX_CNTRL.
6. Repeat this sequence to program a complete TLP.
When the programming of the TX TLP is complete, the Avalon-MM bridge schedules the TLP with
higher priority than TX TLPs coming from the TX slave port.
Sending a Read TLP or Receiving a Non-Posted Completion TLP
The TLPs associated with the Non-Posted TX requests are stored in the RP_RX_CPL FIFO buffer and
subsequently loaded into RP_RXCPL registers. The Application Layer performs the following sequence to
retrieve the TLP.
1. Polls the
RP_RXCPL_STA TUS.SOP
to determine when it is set to 1’b1.
2. Then
RP_RXCPL_STATUS.SOP
= 1’b’1, reads
RP_RXCPL_REG0
and
RP_RXCPL_REG1
to retrieve dword 0
and dword 1 of the TLP.
3. Read the
RP_RXCPL_STATUS.EOP.
• If
RP_RXCPL_STATUS.EOP =
1’b0, read
RP_RXCPL_REG0
and
RP_RXCPL_REG1
to retrieve dword 2
and dword 3 of the TLP, then repeat step 3.
• If
RP_RXCPL_STATUS.EOP =
1’b1, read
RP_RXCPL_REG0
and
RP_RXCPL_REG1
to retrieve final
dwords of TLP.
PCI Express to Avalon-MM Interrupt Status and Enable Registers for Root Ports
The Root Port supports MSI, MSI-X and legacy (INTx) interrupts. MSI and MSI-X interrupts are memory
writes from the Endpoint to the Root Port. MSI and MSI-X requests are forwarded to the interconnect
without asserting
CraIrq_o
.
