4.12.3. Test Signals

Table 41.  Test Interface SignalsThe test_in bus provides run-time control and monitoring of the internal state of the IP core.

Signal

Direction

Description

test_in[31:0]

Input

The bits of the test_in bus have the following definitions:

  • [0]: Simulation mode. This signal can be set to 1 to accelerate initialization by reducing the value of many initialization counters.
  • [1]: Reserved. Must be set to 1'b0.
  • [2]: Descramble mode disable. This signal must be set to 1 during initialization in order to disable data scrambling. You can use this bit in simulation for both Endpoints and Root Ports to observe descrambled data on the link. Descrambled data cannot be used in open systems because the link partner typically scrambles the data.
  • [4:3]: Reserved. Must be set to 2’b01.
  • [5]: Compliance test mode. Disable/force compliance mode. When set, prevents the LTSSM from entering compliance mode. Toggling this bit controls the entry and exit from the compliance state, enabling the transmission of compliance patterns.
  • [6]: Forces entry to compliance mode when a timeout is reached in the polling.active state and not all lanes have detected their exit condition.
  • [7]: Disable low power state negotiation. Intel recommends setting this bit.
  • [31:8] Reserved. Set to all 0s.
simu_mode_pipe

Input

When high, indicates that the PIPE interface is in simulation mode.
testin_zero

Output

When asserted, indicates accelerated initialization for simulation is active.
