6056 - ECP5/ECP5-5G: What speeds/data rates does the PCIe and PCIe-5G Endpoint IP support?

6056 - ECP5/ECP5-5G: What speeds/data rates does the PCIe and PCIe-5G Endpoint IP support?

For ECP5 non-5G devices, PCIe Endpoint IP is to be used. This IP can only support up to Gen1 speed (2.5 Gbps data rate).
For ECP5 5G devices, PCIe-5G Endpoint IP is to be used. This IP supports both Gen1 and Gen2 speed (5 Gbps data rate). After reset, the IP starts at 2.5 Gbps data rate then changes to 5 Gbps data rate if directed by the root complex/switch device.
Please refer to PCIe Base Specification version 2.1 section 4.2.6.4 for the speed change process.
