PCI Express Configuration Editor
The PCI Express (PCIe) interface configuration editor provides a simple graphical editor used to configure
the SerDes interface for PCIe, and saves the user configuration in a PCIe IP configuration file (.acxip). See
Creating an IP Configuration .
Once the user has configured the IP to meet their requirements, and the Configuration Editor has
determined that there are no errors in the configuration, the user may choose to generate their IP design
files (see
Generating the IP Design Files ).
By default, the PCI Express Configuration Editor is included in the IP Configuration perspective
(Window→Open Perspective→IP Configuration) (
).
