Critical Issue
The IP
Compiler for PCI Express User Guide does not document the
fact that the derr_cor_ext_rcv[1:0]
signals are debug
signals. These signals do not affect the operation of the IP Compiler
for PCI Express.
This issue affects all IP Compiler for PCI Express HIP variations that target an Arria II GZ, Cyclone IV, Stratix IV, or Stratix V device.
In Arria II GZ and Cyclone IV devices, derr_cor_ext_rcv[1]
is
not functional in any case, because IP Compiler for PCI Express
variations that target these devices have only a single virtual
channel. For variations that target these devices, this issue affects
only the derr_cor_ext_rcv[0]
signal.
To avoid any issue that arises from driving logic with a derr_cor_ext_rcv
signal,
ensure that you use these signals in your design only for debugging
purposes.
This documentation issue will be fixed in a future version of the IP Compiler for PCI Express User Guide.
