• Extended credit allocation settings to better optimize the RX buffer space based on application type.

• Optional end-to-end cyclic redundancy code (ECRC) generation and checking and advanced error

reporting (AER) for high reliability applications.

• Support for Configuration Space Bypass Mode, allowing you to design a custom Configuration Space

and support multiple functions.

• Support for Gen3 PIPE simulation.

• Support for V-Series Avalon-MM DMA for PCI Express with either a 128- or 256-bit interface to the

Application Layer. This variant includes an embedded DMA controller for data transfers. The

following table shows the available configurations.
