Completion
timeout range
Ranges A–D
This option is only available for PCI Express version 2.0 and higher. It 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. Completion timeouts are specified and enabled via the
Device Control 2 register (0x0A8) of the PCI Express Capability Structure Version 2.0
described in
Table 6–8 on page 6–5 . For all other functions this field is reserved and
must be hardwired to 0x0. Four time value ranges are defined:
Range A: 50 µs to 10 ms
Range B: 10 ms to 250 ms
Range C: 250 ms to 4 s
Range D: 4 s to 64 s
Bits are set according to the list below to show timeout value ranges supported. 0x0
completion timeout programming is not supported and the function must implement
a timeout value in the range 50 s to 50 ms.
Completion
timeout range
(continued)
Each range is turned on or off to specify the full range value. Bit 0 controls Range A,
bit 1 controls Range B, bit 2 controls Range C, and bit 3 controls Range D. The
following values are supported:
0x1: Range A
0x2: Range B
0x3: Ranges A and B
0x6: Ranges B and C
0x7: Ranges A, B, and C
0xE: Ranges B, C and D
0xF: Ranges A, B, C, and D
All other values are reserved. This parameter is not available for PCIe version 1.0.
Altera recommends that the completion timeout mechanism expire in no less than
10 ms.
Error Reporting
0x800 – 0x834
Implement
advanced error
reporting
On/Off Implements the advanced error reporting (AER) capability.
Implement ECRC
check
On/Off
Enables ECRC checking capability. Sets the read-only value of the ECRC check
capable bit in the advanced error capabilities and control register. This parameter
requires you to implement the advanced error reporting capability.
Implement ECRC
generation
On/Off
Enables ECRC generation capability. Sets the read-only value of the ECRC generation
capable bit in the advanced error capabilities and control register. This parameter
requires you to implement the advanced error reporting capability.
Implement ECRC
forwarding
On/Off
Available for hard IP implementation only. Forward ECRC to the application layer. On
the Avalon-ST receive path, the incoming TLP contains the ECRC dword and the TD
bit is set if an ECRC exists. On the Avalon-ST transmit path, the TLP from the
application must contain the ECRC dword and have the TD bit set.
