I'm using the Avnet "Xilinx® Virtex®-5 LXT/SXT PCI Express Development Kit" and trying to get xapp1052 working with it.
I was able to create the bit file without TOO many problems. I generated the PCIe core following the instructions in xapp1052 using COREgen. I threw the xapp1052 files into the directory, and changed the "xilinx_pci_exp_blk_plus_8_lane_ep_ml555.ucf" reset and clock pins, as well as the PCIe lane information to the information in the Avnet UCF. When running the perl script I selected custom, then "Endpoint Block Plus for PCI Express (Virtex-5)", then "xst_blk_plus_ml555_x8.scr" (I figured this was the closest thing to the 8 lane avnet board I'm using....), then my modified UCF file.
I program the board with the bit file created by the perl script, and then do a soft reset. The computer turns on, but nothing shows up on the monitor. I can't figure out what else to try to get this guy running. Anyone have any ideas? The mcs file I downloaded from the avnet site for PCIe boots fine (and windows recognizes it), but they don't have any DMA examples, or windows code, making it pretty useless.
