1.2. Functional Description for the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Design Example

The SR-IOV design example performs memory transfers from a host processor to a target device. It supports up to two Physical Functions (PFs) and 32 Virtual Functions (VFs) per PF. Note that this design example does not support back-to-back transactions from the host processor since the design is intended to showcase single-dword transactions. In addition, the addresses for all the transactions must be dword-aligned.

This design example automatically creates the files necessary to simulate and compile in the Quartus® Prime software. You can download the compiled design to an Agilex™ 7 I-Series FPGA Development Kit.

This design example includes the following components:
  • The generated R-Tile Avalon Streaming (Avalon-ST) IP Endpoint variant (DUT) with the parameters you specified. This component drives the received TLP data to the SR-IOV application.
  • The SR-IOV Application (APPS) component, which performs the necessary translation between the PCI Express TLPs and Avalon-ST writes and reads to the on-chip memory. For the SR-IOV APPS component, a memory read TLP generates a Completion with data.
  • A Reset Release IP.

The simulation testbench instantiates the SR-IOV design example and a Root Port BFM to interface with the target Endpoint.

The test program writes to and reads back data from the same location in the on-chip memory across 2 PFs and 32 VFs per PF. It compares the data read to the expected result. The test reports, "Simulation stopped due to successful completion" if no errors occur.
