Altera Corporation
describes the
test_in
bus signals. In Qsys these signals have the prefix,
hip_ctrl_
.
Making Pin Assignments
Before running Quartus II compilation, use the
Pin Planner
to assign I/O standards to
the pins of the device. Complete the following steps to bring up the
Pin Planner
and
assign the 1.5-V pseudo-current mode logic (PCML) I/O standard to the serial data
input and output pins:
1. On the Quartus II
Assignments
menu, select
Pin Planner
. The
Pin Planner
appears.
2. In the
Node Name
column, locate the PCIe serial data pins.
3. In the
I/O Standard
column, double-click the right-hand corner of the box to bring
up a list of available I/O standards.
4. Select
1.5-V PCML I/O
standard.

The Arria V GZ Hard IP for PCI Express IP Core automatically assigns other required
PMA analog settings, including 100 ohm internal termination.

I/O
Description
test_in[31:0]
I
The bits of the
test_in
bus have the following definitions:
■
[0]: Simulation mode. This signal can be set to 1 to accelerate
initialization by reducing the value of many initialization counters.
■
[4:1]: Reserved. Must be set to 4’b0100.
■
[5]: Compliance test mode. Disable/force compliance mode. When
set, prevents the LTSSM from entering compliance mode.
Toggling this bit controls the entry and exit from the compliance
state, enabling the transmission of Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3
compliance patterns.
■
[31:6]–Reserved. Must be set to 26’h2.
simu_mode_pipe
O
When set to 1, the PIPE interface is in simulation mode.
lane_act[3:0]
O
Lane Active Mode: This signal indicates the number of lanes that
configured during link training. The following encodings are defined:
■
4’b0001: 1 lane
■
4’b0010: 2 lanes
■
4’b0100: 4 lanes
■
4’b1000: 8 lanes
Notes to
(1) All signals are per lane.

“PIPE Interface Signals” on page 6–61
for definitions of the PIPE interface signals.
