Specifies the maximum payload size supported. This

parameter sets the read-only value of the max payload

size supported field of the Device Capabilities register

(0x084[2:0]). Address: 0x084.

32 - Avalon-ST Indicates the number of tags supported for non-posted

requests transmitted by the Application Layer. This

parameter sets the values in the Device Control register

(0x088) of the PCI Express capability structure

described in Table 9–9 on page 9–5.
The Transaction Layer tracks all outstanding

completions for non-posted requests made by the

Application Layer. This parameter configureTags

supportedes the Transaction Layer for the maximum

number to track. The Application Layer must set the tag

values in all non-posted PCI Express headers to be less

than this value. Values greater than 32 also set the

extended tag field supported bit in the Configuration

Space Device Capabilities register. The Application

Layer can only use tag numbers greater than 31 if

configuration software sets the Extended Tag Field

Enable bit of the Device Control register. This bit is

available to the Application Layer on the

tl_cfg_ctl

output signal as

cfg_devcsr[8]

.
