This demo shows the feature of the S2C 4-Lane PCIe Gen2 GTX Module running on the S2C Virtex-7 Prodigy Logic Module, which is equipped with GTX connectors to implement the physical interconnect transform between the PCIe interface and the Samtec GTX interface.
The GTX transceivers are probed to GTX connectors on the Virtex-7 Prodigy Logic Module, which run up to 8Gbps allowing for high-speed development and verification with the Virtex-7 Prodigy Logic Module and S2C 4-Lane PCIe Gen2 GTX Module.
The reference design demonstrates the effectiveness of the 4-Lane PCIe Gen2 working with the S2C hardware platform. The PCIe device can be identified on a workstation in either Windows or Linux. Configuration information for the PCIe device, such as lane width, link speed, vendor ID, and subsystem ID, can be read on on the workstation. The S2C 4-Lane PCIe Gen2 GTX Module is downward-compatible with PCIe Gen1 as well. The PCIe Gen1 application can also be developed and verified on the S2C Virtex-7 Prodigy Logic Module.
