cfg_slot_ctrl

16

O

cfg_slot_ctrl[15:0]

is the Slot Status of the PCI Express

capability structure. This register is only available in Root Port
mode.

Table 7–7 on
page 7–4
Table 7–8 on
page 7–5

cfg_link_ctrl

16

O

cfg_link_ctrl[15:0]

is the primary Link Control of the PCI

Express capability structure.

For Gen2 or Gen3 operation, you must write a 1’b1 to Retrain Link
bit (Bit[5] of the

cfg_link_ctrl)

of the Root Port to initiate

retraining to a higher data rate after the initial link training to Gen1
L0 state. Retraining directs the LTSSM to the Recovery state.
Retraining to a higher data rate is not automatic for the Stratix V
Hard IP for PCI Express IP Core even if both devices on the link are
capable of a higher data rate.

page 7–4

cfg_link_ctrl2

16

O

cfg_link_ctrl2[31:16]

is the secondary Link Control register

of the PCI Express capability structure for Gen2 operation.

When

tl_cfg_addr=2

,

tl_cfg_ctl

returns the primary and

secondary Link Control registers,

{cfg_link_ctrl[15:0],

cfg_link_ctrl2[15:0]}

, the primary Link Status register

contents is available on

tl_cfg_sts[46:31]

.

For Gen1 variants, the link bandwidth notification bit is always set
to 0.For Gen2 variants, this bit is set to 1.
