This design example provides detailed step-by-step instructions to generate an SOPC
Builder system containing the following components:

■
In the SOPC Builder design flow you select the PCI Express IP core as a component,
which automatically instantiates the PCI Express Compiler’s Avalon-MM bridge
module. This component supports PCI Express ×1 or ×4 endpoint applications with
bridging logic to convert PCI Express packets to Avalon-MM transactions and vice
versa.
created using the SOPC Builder design flow. It shows both the soft and hard IP
implementations with one of the soft IP variants using the embedded transceiver and
the other using a PIPE interface to an external PHY. The design example included in
this chapter illustrates the use of a single hard IP implementation with the embedded
transceiver.
