Specifies the maximum payload size supported. This

parameter sets the read-only value of the max payload

size supported field of the Device Capabilities register

(0x084[2:0]). Address: 0x084.
The Maximum payload size is 256 Bytes for the

Avalon-MM interface and for the Avalon-MM with

DMA interface.

ABCD

Indicates device function support for the optional

completion timeout programmability mechanism. This

mechanism allows system software to modify the

completion timeout value. This field is applicable only to

Root Ports and Endpoints that issue requests on their

own behalf. This parameter must be set to NONE for the

Avalon-MM with DMA interface. Completion timeouts

are specified and enabled in the Device Control 2

register (0x0A8) of the PCI Express Capability Structure

Version. For all other functions this field is reserved and

must be hardwired to 0x0000b. Four time value ranges

are defined:
• Range A: 50 us to 10 ms

• Range B: 10 ms to 250 ms

• Range C: 250 ms to 4 s

• Range D: 4 s to 64 s
