2.7.2.1.1. Dynamic Switching Between Gen1 (2.5 Gbps) and Gen2 (5 Gbps)

In a PIPE configuration, Native PHY IP Core provides an input signal pipe_rate [1:0] that is functionally equivalent to the RATE signal specified in the PCIe specification. A change in value from 2'b00 to 2'b01 on this input signal pipe_rate [1:0] initiates a data rate switch from Gen1 to Gen2. A change in value from 2'b01 to 2'b00 on the input signal initiates a data rate switch from Gen2 to Gen1.
