31.1 Introduction
The Zynq-7000 7z012s, 7z015, 7z030, 7z035, Zynq-7z045, and Zynq-7z100 AP SoC devices include
the Xilinx 7 series Integrated block for PCI Express core which is a reliable, high-bandwidth,
third-generation I/O solution.
The PCI Express solution for these Zynq AP SoC devices supports x1, x2, x4, and x8 lane Root Port and
Endpoint configurations at both Gen1 (2.5 Gb/s) and Gen2 (5 Gb/s) speeds. Attention must be paid
to system level bandwidth if full Gen 2 – x8 throughput is needed. This might include either inline
processing of the data in PL before storing it to the PS DDR memory or using a wider DDR3 memory
interface in the PL. The Root Port configuration can be used to build a Root Complex solution. These
configurations are compatible with the PCI Express Base Specification, Rev 2.1.
The PCI Express module supports the AXI4-stream interface for the user interface at both 64-bit and
128-bit widths.
