4.1. PCI Express

The Arria V devices have PCIe Hard IP that is designed for performance, ease-of-use, and increased functionality. The Hard IP consists of the media access control (MAC) lane, data link, and transaction layers. The PCIe Hard IP supports the PCIe Gen1 end point and root port up to x8 lane configurations. The PCIe endpoint support includes multifunction support for up to eight functions and Gen2 x4 lane configurations.

The Arria V PCIe Hard IP operates independently from the core logic, which allows the PCIe link to wake up and complete link training in less than 100 ms while the Arria V device completes loading the programming file for the rest of the device.

In addition, the Arria V device PCIe Hard IP has improved end-to-end datapath protection using error correction code (ECC).
