3.1.1. Channel Placement for PCIe Hard IP

The PCIe lane 0 is always mapped to ch0 of the transceiver tile. Channel 0 of the transceiver tile = Bank 0, Channel 0.

The PCIe x1, x2, x4 and x8 configurations always consume a total of eight transceiver channels.

CvP Support

Only the bottom left transceiver tile supports configuration via protocol (CvP).
