The Arria 10 Hard IP for PCI Express IP core includes programmed I/O (PIO) and DMA design
examples to help you understand usage. The PIO example transfers memory from a host processor to a
target device. It is appropriate for low-bandwidth applications. The DMA examples include both a simple
DMA design example and a high-performance chaining DMA. The DMA examples are appropriate for
high-bandwidth applications. These design examples automatically create the files necessary to simulate
and compile in the Quartus Prime software. You can download the compiled design to the Arria 10 GX
FPGA Development Kit. The design examples cover a wide range of parameters for the Avalon-ST,
Avalon-MM and Avalon-MM with DMA interfaces. However, the automatically generated design
examples do not cover all possible parameterizations of the PCIe IP Core. If you select an unsupported
parameter set, generations fails and provides an error message.
In addition, many static design examples for simulation are only available in the
<install_dir>/ip/altera/
altera_pcie/altera_pcie_a10_ed/example_design/a10
directory.
