Altera Arria V Avalon-ST - Manual (Page 16)

Figure 2-2: Complete Gen1 ×4 Endpoint (DUT) Connected to Example Design (APPS)
The example design includes the following components:
• DUT—This is Gen1 ×4 Endpoint. For your own design, you can select the data rate, number of lanes,
and either Endpoint or Root Port mode.
• APPS—This DMA driver configures the DUT and drives read and write TLPs to test DUT function‐
ality.
• pcie_reconfig_driver_0—This Avalon-MM master drives the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller.
The pcie_reconfig_driver_0 is implemented in clear text that you can modify if your design requires
different reconfiguration functions. After you generate your Qsys system, the Verilog HDL for this
component is available as:
//testbench/_tb/simulation/
submodules/altpcie_reconfig_driver.sv .
• Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller—The Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller dynamically
reconfigures analog settings to improve signal quality. For Gen1 and Gen2 data rates, the Transceiver
Reconfiguration Controller must perform offset cancellation and PLL calibration.
