1.5. R-Tile IP for PCI Express IP Core v9.0.0

Table 9.  v9.0.0 2023.04.03
Quartus® Prime Version Description Impact
23.1 Agilex™ 7 FPGAs renamed to Agilex™ 7 FPGAs. -
Added support for the Performance Design Example. The Performance Design Example can be generated in the IP Parameter Editor targeting the Agilex™ 7 I-Series Development Kit.
The Performance Design Example has a fixed configuration for payload size and Completion TLPs from the link partner. The Performance Design Example has a fixed configuration of 512B payload size, and requires a single Completion TLP from the link partner for each Memory Read.
Added Lane Margining support in the R-Tile PCIe Debug Toolkit. The Lane Margining feature in the PCIe Debug Toolkit can be used to assess the electrical health of the PCIe link.
Updated the refclk1 requirements when the Independent GPIO PERST parameter is enabled. refclk1 may not be an "always running" clock when the Independent GPIO PERST parameter is enabled.
