Altera-Defined Vendor Specific Extended Capability (VSEC)
Cyclone V Hard IP for PCI Express December 2013 Altera Corporation
User Guide
Table 8–10 defines the fields of the
Vendor Specific Extended Capability Header
register.
Table 8–11 defines the fields of the
Altera-Defined Vendor Specific
register. You
can specify these fields when you instantiate the Hard IP; they are read-only at
run-time.
Table 8–12 defines the
Altera Marker
register.
Table 8–13 defines the
JTAG Silicon ID
registers.
Table 8–14 defines the
User Device or Board Type ID
register.

Bits Register Description Value Access
[31:0]
Altera Marker
. This read only register is an additional marker. If you use the
standard Altera Programmer software to configure the device with CvP, this
marker provides a value that the programming software reads to ensure that it
is operating with the correct VSEC.
