1.6. Intel® Arria® 10 Hard IP for PCI Express* IP Core v16.0

Table 6.  16.0 May2016
Description Impact
All variants now support for Gen3 PIPE mode using the ModelSim® , NCSIM, and VCS simulators Better visibility for Gen3 simulations.
All variants now support generation of predefined Signal Tap files for IP core debugging. Simplifies generation and configuration of Signal Tap files for debugging.
For the Avalon® Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) with DMA variant, rearchitected Write DMA module for the 128-bit interface to the Application Layer. This version is final in the 16.0 release. Provides higher throughput for external memories.
For the Avalon® -MM with DMA variant, the 256-bit interface to the Application Layer now supports a maximum transfer size of 64 kilobyte (KB). Large transfers require fewer descriptor table entries.
For the Avalon Streaming (Avalon-ST) with Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) variant, rearchitected the SR-IOV bridge to support 4 Physical Functions (PFs) and 2048 Virtual Functions (VFs). This new version is preliminary in the 16.0 release. Improves support for designs requiring more PFs and VFs. This new version is not backwards compatible with the previous 15.1 release.
For the Avalon-ST with SR-IOV variant, added support for Address Translation Services (ATS) and TLP Processing Hints (TPH). Support for SR-IOV.
For the Avalon-ST with SR-IOV variant, added Control Shadow interface to read the current settings for some of the VF Control Register fields in the PCI and PCI Express Configuration Spaces. Improves visibility for VFs.
The Avalon-ST Streaming with SR-IOV variant now requires a license. You must purchase a license for this variant to run in hardware that is not connected to a host computer running the Quartus® Prime software.
