Finally, you can configure the appropriate VirtIO capability parameters in the tabs shown in the screenshot below:

Figure 59. Configure VirtIO Capability Parameters

The following table provides a reference for all the configurable high-level parameters of the VirtIO block for P-Tile. Parameters below are dedicated to each core.

Table 90.  VirtIO High-Level Parameters
Parameter Description Allowed Range Default Value
Enable PF VirtIO Enable Physical Function 0-7 VirtIO capability. True/False False
Enable VF VirtIO Enable VirtIO capability of VFs associated with PFs 0-7. True/False False

The next table summarizes the parameters associated with the five VirtIO device configuration structures:
