The user application must transfer each request to be transmitted on the link to the requester request interface of the core as an independent AXI4-Stream packet. Each packet must start with a descriptor, and can have payload data following the descriptor. The descriptor is always 16 bytes long, and must be sent in the first 16 bytes of the request packet. The descriptor is transferred during the first two beats on a 64-bit interface, and in the first beat on a 128-bit or 256-bit interface. The formats of the descriptor for different request types are illustrated in the following figures.

The format of the following figure applies when the request TLP being transferred is a memory read/write request, an I/O read/write request, or an Atomic Operation request.

Figure 1. Requester Request Descriptor Format for Memory, I/O, and Atomic Op Requests

The format in the following figure is used for Configuration Requests.

Figure 2. Requester Request Descriptor Format for Configuration Requests

The format of the following figure is used for Vendor-Defined Messages (Type 0 or Type 1) only.

Figure 3. Requester Request Descriptor Format for Vendor-Defined Messages

The format of the following figure is used for all ATS messages (Invalid Request, Invalid Completion, Page Request, PRG Response).

Figure 4. Requester Request Descriptor Format for ATS Messages

For all other messages, the descriptor takes the format of the following figure.

Figure 5. Requester Request Descriptor Format for All Other Messages

The following tables describe the individual fields of the requester request descriptor.

Table 1. Requester Request Descriptor Fields for Memory, I/O, and Atomic Operation Requests
Bit Index Field Name Description
1:0 Address Type

This field is defined for memory transactions and Atomic Operations only. The core copies this field into the AT of the TL header of the request TLP.

00: Address in the request is un-translated

01: Transaction is a translation request

10: Address in the request is a translated address

11: Reserved

63:2 Address

This field applies to memory, I/O and atomic operation requests. This is the address of the first Dword referenced by the request. The client must also set the First_BE and Last_BE bits in s_axis_rq_tuser to indicate the valid bytes in the first and last Dwords, respectively.

When the transaction specifies a 32-bit address, bits [63:32] of this field must be set to 0. When Address Type is 01b (Translation Request), Address [11:2] is Reserved and should be driven to 0.

74:64 Dword Count

These 11 bits indicate the size of the block (in Dwords) to be read or written (for messages, size of the message payload). Its range is 0 – 1024 Dwords. For I/O accesses, the Dword count will always be 1.

For memory read requests, Dword count is in the range 1-1024. For a zero length memory read/write request, the Dword count must be 1 with the First_BE bits set to all zeroes.

The integrated block does not check the setting of this field against the actual length of the payload supplied (for requests with payload), nor against the maximum payload size or read request size settings of the integrated block.

78:75 Request Type Identifies the transaction type. The transaction types and their encodings are listed in Table 6.
79 Poisoned Request This bit can be used by the client to poison the request TLP being sent. This feature is supported on all request types except - Type 0 or 1 Configuration Write Request. This bit must be set to 0 for all requests, except when the client has detected an error in the block of data following the descriptor and wants to communicate this information using the Data Poisoning feature of PCI Express.
87:80

Requester Function/Device Number

or

Function ID[7:0]

Device and/or Function number of the Requester Function.

Endpoint mode:

  • ARI enabled:
    • Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number
  • ARI disabled:

  • ARI disabled:
    • Bits [82:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.
    • Bits [87:83] are not used if the request is originating from the switch itself. These bits must be set to the Requester Device number where the request was originated if the switch is relaying the request (Requester is external to the switch). This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

Root Port mode (Downstream Port):

  • ARI enabled:
    • Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.
  • ARI disabled:
    • Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

  • Remaining 3 bits are reserved for future use Upstream Port for Switch use case (Endpoint mode is selected within the IP)
  • Not used if the request is originating from the switch itself. These bits must be set to the Requester Bus number where the request was originated if the switch is relaying the request (Requester is external to the switch). This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

Root Port mode (Downstream Port):

Must be set to the Requester Bus number. This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

103:96 Tag PCIe Tag associated with the request. For posted transactions, the core always uses the value from this field as the tag for the request.

For Non-Posted transactions, the core uses the value from this field if the attribute attr_axisten_if_enable_client_tag is set (that is, when tag management is performed by the client). If this attribute is not set, tag management logic in the core is responsible for generating the tag to be used and the value in the tag field of the descriptor is not used.

119:104 Completer ID This field is applicable only to Configuration requests and messages routed by ID. For these requests, this field specifies the PCI Completer ID associated with the request (these 16 bits are divided into an 8-bit bus number, 5-bit device number, and 3-bit function number in the legacy interpretation mode. In the ARI mode, these 16 bits are treated as an 8-bit bus number and 8-bit Function number).
120 Requester ID Enable/T8

When 10-bit tags are disabled for the requester, this field is used as Requester ID Enable:

Bits [82:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

Bits [87:83] are not used.

Upstream Port for Switch use case (Endpoint mode is selected within the IP):

ARI enabled:

Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

ARI disabled:

Bits [82:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

Bits [87:83] are not used if the request is originating from the switch itself. These bits must be set to the Requester Device number where the request was originated if the switch is relaying the request (Requester is external to the switch). This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

Root Port mode (Downstream Port):

ARI enabled:

Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

ARI disabled:

Bits [87:80] must be set to the Requester Function number.

Bits [87:83] must be set to the Requester Device number. This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

95:88

Requester Bus Number

or

{{3{Reserved}}, Function ID[12:8]}

Bus number associated with the Requester Function. Endpoint mode:

Lower 5 bits of this field are set to the Function ID[12:8].

Remaining 3 bits are reserved for future use.

Upstream Port for Switch use case (Endpoint mode is selected within the IP):

Not used if the request is originating from the switch itself. These bits must be set to the Requester Bus number where the request was originated if the switch is relaying the request (Requester is external to the switch). This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

Root Port mode (Downstream Port):

Must be set to the Requester Bus number. This is used with Requester ID Enable bit in the descriptor.

103:96 Tag PCIe Tag associated with the request. For posted transactions, the core always uses the value from this field as the tag for the request.

For Non-Posted transactions, the core uses the value from this field if the attribute attr_axisten_if_enable_client_tag is set (that is, when tag management is performed by the client). If this attribute is not set, tag management logic in the core is responsible for generating the tag to be used, and the value in the tag field of the descriptor is not used.

111:104 Message Code This field is defined for all messages. It contains the 8-bit Message Code to be set in the TL header.
114:112 Message Routing This field is defined for all messages. The core copies these bits into the 3-bit Routing field r[2:0] of the TL header of the Request TLP.
119:115 Reserved These bits are reserved.
120 Requester ID Enable/T8

When 10-bit tags are disabled for the requester, this field is used as Requester ID Enable:

1'b1: The client supplies Bus, Device, and Function numbers in the descriptor to be populated as the Requester ID field in the TLP header.

1'b0: IP uses Bus and Device numbers captured from received

Configuration requests and the client supplies Function numbers in the descriptor to be populated as the Requester ID field in the TLP header. When Requester ID enable is 0 the device number fields in descriptor should also be 0.

Endpoint mode:

Must be set to 1'b0.

Upstream Port for Switch use case (Endpoint mode is selected within the IP):

Set to 1'b0 when the request is originating from the switch itself.

Set to 1'b1 when the switch is relaying the request (Requester is external to the switch). This is used with Requester Bus Number bits [95:88] and Requester Function/Device Number bits [87:83] when ARI is not enabled.

Root Port mode:

Must be set to 1'b1. This is used with Requester Bus Number bits [95:88] and Requester Function/Device Number bits [87:83] when ARI is not enabled.

Note: When 10-bit tags are enabled for the requester, the Requester ID Enable is implicitly assumed to be set to 0 in the EP mode, and set to 1 in all other modes. In this case, this field is used to transport bit [8] of the PCIe tag associated with Non-Posted requests.
123:121 Transaction Class (TC) PCIe Transaction Class (TC) associated with the request.
126:124 Attributes

These bits provide the setting of the Attribute bits associated with the request. Bit 124 is the No Snoop bit and bit 125 is the Relaxed Ordering bit. Bit 126 is the ID-Based Ordering bit, and can be set only for memory requests and messages.

The core forces the attribute bits to 0 in the request sent on the link if the corresponding attribute is not enabled in the Function’s PCI Express Device Control Register.

127 T9 When 10-bit tags are enabled for the requester, this field is used to transport bit [9] of the PCIe tag associated with Non-Posted requests. This field must be set to 0 when sending a Posted request.
