Table 4-5: Reset Signals
Signal Direction Description
npor
Input Active low reset signal. In the Altera hardware example designs,
npor is the OR of pin_perst and local_rstn coming from the
software Application Layer. If you do not drive a soft reset signal
from the Application Layer, this signal must be derived from
pin_perst. You cannot disable this signal. Resets the entire IP
Core and transceiver. Asynchronous.
In systems that use the hard reset controller, this signal is edge,
not level sensitive; consequently, you cannot use a low value on
this signal to hold custom logic in reset. For more information
about the hard and soft reset controllers, refer to Reset.
nreset_status
Output
Active low reset signal. It is derived from npor or pin_perstn.
You can use this signal to reset the Application Layer.
pin_perst
Input Active low reset from the PCIe reset pin of the device. pin_perst
resets the datapath and control registers. Configuration via
Protocol (CvP) requires this signal. For more information about
CvP refer to Configuration via Protocol (CvP).
Stratix V devices can have up to 4 instances of the Hard IP for
PCI Express. Each instance has its own pin_perst signal. You
must connect the pin_perst of each Hard IP instance to the
corresponding nPERST pin of the device. These pins have the
following locations:
• NPERSTL0: bottom left Hard IP and CvP blocks
• NPERSTL1: top left Hard IP block
• NPERSTR0: bottom right Hard IP block
• NPERSTR1: top right Hard IP block
For example, if you are using the Hard IP instance in the bottom
left corner of the device, you must connect pin_perst to
NPERSL0.
For maximum use of the Stratix V device, Altera recommends
that you use the bottom left Hard IP first. This is the only
location that supports CvP over a PCIe link. If your design does
not require CvP, you may select other Hard IP blocks.
Refer to the appropriate device pinout for correct pin assignment
for more detailed information about these pins. The PCI Express
Card Electromechanical Specification 2.0 specifies this pin
requires 3.3 V. You can drive this 3.3V signal to the nPERST*
