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.

Description

hip_reconfig_clk

Input

Reconfiguration clock. The frequency range for this clock is 100–

125 MHz.

hip_reconfig_rst_n

Input

Active-low Avalon-MM reset. Resets all of the dynamic reconfi‐

guration registers to their default values as described in

Hard IP

Reconfiguration Registers

hip_reconfig_

address[9:0]

Input

The 10

bit reconfiguration address.

hip_reconfig_read

Input

Read signal. This interface is not pipelined. You must wait for the

return of the

hip_reconfig_readdata[15:0]

from the current

read before starting another read operation.

hip_reconfig_

readdata[15:0]

Output

bit read data.

hip_reconfig_readdata[15:0]

is valid on the

third cycle after the assertion of

hip_reconfig_read

hip_reconfig_write

Input

Write signal.
