6.3. PIPE Reverse Parallel Loopback
PIPE reverse parallel loopback is only available in the PCIe® configuration for Gen1 and Gen2 data rates. Figure 2 shows the received serial data passing through the receiver CDR, deserializer, word aligner, and rate match FIFO buffer. The parallel data from the rate match FIFO is then looped back to the transmitter serializer and transmitted out through the tx_serial_data port. The received data is also available to the FPGA fabric through the rx_parallel_data signal.
PIPE reverse parallel loopback is compliant with the PCIe 2.0 specification. To enable this loopback configuration, assert the tx_detectrx_loopback signal.
