5.3. IP Parameters

Table 19.  Parameter ListYou can configure these parameters using Platform Designer.
Parameter Name Default Value Description
eSPI Mode of Operation Single I/O Allows you to configure the I/O. Available options:
  • Single I/O
  • Single and Dual I/O
  • Single and Quad I/O
  • Single, Dual, and Quad I/O
Frequency of Operation 20 MHz Allows you to set the operational frequency. Available options:
  • 20 MHz
  • 25 MHz
  • 33 MHz
  • 50 MHz
  • 66 MHz6
Channel Supported Peripheral Channel Allows you to set the channel support. Available options:
  • Virtual Wire Channel
  • Peripheral Channel
  • All Channel
Peripheral Channel Maximum Payload Size Supported 64 bytes Allows you to set the maximum payload size for peripheral channel. Available option:
  • 64 bytes
Peripheral Channel Maximum Read Request Size Supported 64 bytes Allows you to set the maximum read request size for peripheral channel. Available option:
  • 64 bytes
Maximum Virtual Wire Count Supported (0-based) 0x07 Allows you to set the maximum Virtual Wire count. Legal values:
  • 0x07: 8 count
  • 0x08: 9 count
  • 0x09: 10 count
  • 0x0A: 11 count
  • 0x0B: 12 count
