The subsystems in the Versal® ACAP DMA and Bridge Subsystem for PCIe are packaged in what is called a modular IP architecture. Modular IP architecture refers to the programmable logic integrated block for PCIe (PL PCIE) IP and the DMA and Bridge subsystem appearing as two separate IP that are connected in the Vivado IP integrator.
To generate the IP:
- In the Vivado IP catalog, locate the subsystem, and add it to your design.
- Configure the subsystem as required.
- In the Vivado IP integrator, click Run Block Automation. This stitches the PL PCIE and subsystem together.
After these steps, a fully integrated subsystem is available and you can add designs as needed.
