PCIe hard IP root ports. One root port connects directly to a second FPGA that
includes an endpoint implemented using the hard IP IP core. The second root port
connects to a switch that multiplexes among three PCI Express endpoints.
If you target a device that includes an internal transceiver, you can parameterize the
PCI Express IP core to include a complete PHY layer, including the MAC, PCS, and
PMA layers. If you target other device architectures, the PCI Express Compiler
generates the IP core with the Intel-designed PIPE interface, making the IP core usable
with other PIPE-compliant external PHY devices.
