4.3. Channel and Pin Placement for the Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 Data Rates

The following figures illustrate pin placements for the Intel® Arria® 10 or Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX Hard IP for PCI Express.

In these figures, channels that are not used for the PCI Express protocol are available for other protocols. Unused channels are shown in gray.

Note: In all configurations, physical channel 4 in the PCS connects to logical channel 0 in the hard IP. You cannot change the channel placements illustrated below.

For the possible values of <txvr_block_N> and <txvr_block_N+1>, refer to the figures that show the physical location of the Hard IP PCIe blocks in the different types of Intel® Arria® 10 or Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices, at the start of this chapter. For each hard IP block, the transceiver block that is adjacent and extends below the hard IP block, is <txvr_block_N>, and the transceiver block that is directly above is <txvr_block_N+1> . For example, in an Intel® Arria® 10 device with 96 transceiver channels and four PCIe hard IP blocks, if your design uses the hard IP block that supports CvP, <txvr_block_N> is GXB1C and <txvr_block_N+1> is GXB1D.

Note: Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices support x1, x2, and x4 at the Gen1 and Gen2 data rates.
