1.1 PCI Express Automated Test Scripts
The PCI Express Automated Test scripts follow the test specification created by PCI SIG for manufacturers to use to
assure a successful product. The test specification has five test areas:
1. Link Layer Tests: Device behavior for link level protocol
2. Transaction Layer Tests: Device behavior for transaction level protocol
3. Configuration Space Tests: Configuration space in PCI Express devices
4. Electrical Tests: Platform and add-in card signal testing
5. Platform BIOS Tests: Platform BIOS ability to recognize and configure PCI Express devices
For each of these test areas, different tests are run for the:
• Root Complex
• Endpoint Device
• Switch Downstream Port
• Switch Upstream Port/Bridge
The PCI SIG test specifications identify tests that can be performed with automated test equipment. Teledyne
LeCroy has developed some PCI Express Automated Test scripts for Link Layer and Transaction Layer Endpoint
Device testing based on the following PCI SIG specifications:
1. Link Layer test scripts listed in section 2.1 of the PCI SIG
PCI_Express_Test_Spec_Link_Layer_1.0.pdf specification
2. Transaction Layer test scripts listed in section 2.1 of the PCI SIG
PCI_Express_Test_Spec_Transaction_Layer_1.0.pdf specification
Teledyne LeCroy has also developed PCI Express Automated Test Scripts for Root Complex testing.
The automated tests can be used for lane widths of x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16 on PETracer/PETrainer ML and EML,
PETracer/Trainer Summit™ Z2-16/T2-16 platforms, or with the PETracer Edge analyzer.
