2.1.5. PCIe* Hard IP

The F-tile PCIe* hard IP consists of four PCIe* cores: one x16 (core_0), one x8 (core_1) and two x4 (core_2, core_3). It consists of a set of port bifurcation muxes to remap the four controller PHY interface for PCI Express* (PIPE) lane interfaces to the shared 16 FGT lanes. core_0 can be configured to support x16, x8, and x4 configurations, and core_1 can be configured to support x8 and x4 configurations. core_2 and core_3 only support only x4 configurations.
