Known Issues

There are three main components to the Endpoint Block Plus Wrapper for PCI Express:

  • Virtex-5 FPGA Integrated Block for PCI Express
  • Virtex-5 FPGA GTP/GTX Transceivers
  • Block Plus Wrapper FPGA fabric logic

The known issues for the integrated block and GTP/GTX transceivers are found in the LogiCORE IP Endpoint Block Plus v1.14 for PCI Express User Guide (UG341) delivered with the core and found at:
