PCI express

hi.

 

i m new to PCI express.

 

in one of our design we are using SPARTAN-6 based board with PCI-express interface.

Re: PCI express

Hi,

 

I think you should focus on getting the example design provided to come up and run on the SP606 board. This would familiarize you with different aspects of the design process using the core.

Re: PCI express

Hi,

 

Doesnt th eSP605 also have a x16 BPI configuration option. I think that would be faster. Although I have not looked at this board lately so it might be best to check the Board UG to be sure.

 

If you are plugging into a standard system with an ATX power supply 172 ms config time should be OK because you have the 100 ms from power stable plus an ATX supply provides a 100 ms buffer before power stable is asserted.

 

Regards

If you have tried google then you must found ML506 PCIe x1 Endpoint Design.

 

However for ML506 here is the link for its reference designs.
