Course Outline

Day 1	Day 2	Day 3
Course Introduction Introduction to the PCIe Architecture Review of the PCIe Protocol Packet Formatting Details LAB: Packet Decoding This lab explores what really happens on the link between a root complex and the endpoint. Various packets, including the Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, and Transaction Layer packets are explored. Insight as to what is actually transpiring on the lanes becomes a powerful tool for understanding the protocol as well as debugging various link issues. Packet Routing Interrupts and Error Management	AMD Xilinx PCI Express Solutions Connecting Logic to the Core PCIe Core Customization Lab 1: Constructing the PCIe Core – This lab familiarizes you with the necessary flow for generating an Integrated PCI Express Endpoint core from the IP catalog. You will select appropriate parameters and create the PCIe core used throughout the labs. Packet Formatting Details Simulating a PCIe System Design Lab 2: Simulating the PCIe Core – This lab demonstrates the timing and behavior of a typical link negotiation using the Vivado simulator. You will observe and capture transaction layer packets. Endpoint Application Considerations PCI Express in Embedded Systems Lab 3: Using the PCI Express Core in IP Integrator – This lab familiarizes you with all the necessary steps and recommended settings to use the PCIe solutions in an IP integrator block design.	Application Focus: DMA Lab 4: Exploring XDMA – This lab familiarizes you with all the necessary steps to set up and perform DMA transfers. Design Implementation and PCIe Configuration Lab 5: Implementing the PCIe Design – This lab familiarizes you with all the necessary steps and recommended settings to turn the HDL source to a bitstream by using the Tandem configuration mode. Root Port Applications Debugging and Compliance Lab 6: Debugging the PCIe Design – This lab illustrates how to use the Vivado logic analyzer to monitor the behavior of the core and a small endpoint application for proper operation. Interrupts and Error Management Course Summary
