Hard IP Reconfiguration Interface
The Hard IP reconfiguration interface is an Avalon-MM slave interface with a 10-bit address and 16-bit
data bus. You can use this bus to dynamically modify the value of configuration registers that are read-
only at run time. To ensure proper system operation, reset or repeat device enumeration of the PCI
Express link after changing the value of read-only configuration registers of the Hard IP.
For an example that illustrates how to use this interface, refer to PCI SIG Gen2 x8 Merged Design - Stratix
V on the Altera wiki. The Related Information section below provides a link to this example.
