1.1. Reference Design Overview

The reference design consists of the following components:

  • a10_pcie_reference_design—top-level reference design wrapper connecting the board support package (BSP) subsystem to the device pins.
  • bsp_top—design top-level containing all subsystems. Includes the Intel® Arria® 10/Cyclone 10 Hard IP for PCI Express* , the External Memory Interfaces Intel® FPGA IP, and the design top module. This abstraction layer allows simulation of the design top module through simulated Avalon® memory-mapped transactions.
  • design_core—design core that generates of the PR region and the interface components, such as clock crossing Avalon memory mapped logic and pipeline logic, clocks, and the global reset.
