The Dynamic Function eXchange (DFX) feature supported by much of the Xilinx silicon portfolio
and Vivado Design Suite allows for the reconfiguration of the modules within an active device. It
gives system architects the flexibility to switch a portion of the design in and out depending on
the system requirements, removing the need to multiplex multiple functions in a larger device,
which saves on part cost, power and improves system up time. Taking advantage of the PCIe link
with CPM for delivery of reconfigurable partition bitstream data to the PMC allows for high
throughput and minimal design requirements and is simplified by provided software and drivers.
Note: Tandem and DFX features are not supported together in a single design in this release, this
functionality is planned for future releases.
Enable the Tandem Configuration Solution
An option in the CIPS customization GUI allows you to pick which option suits your needs. In the
CPM options, a Tandem Configuration selection will be enabled when a PCIe Endpoint is selected
for PCIe Controller 0 or Controller 1. The three available options are:
• Tandem PROM
• Tandem PCIe
• None
