1.2 Summit Z2-16 Exerciser
Teledyne LeCroy Summit Z2-16, a Gen2 PCI Express 16-lane advanced Exerciser
system, is a critical test and verification tool intended to assist engineers in improving the
reliability of their systems. It can emulate PCI Express root complexes or device
endpoints. You can test PCI Express IP cores, semiconductors, bridges, switches, and
systems.
The Summit Z2-16 is a stand-alone PCI Express Exerciser that can generate and
respond to all types of PCI Express transactions. The scripting language allows creation
of Transaction Layer Packets (TLPs), Data Link Layer Packets (DLLPs) and Ordered
Sets. ACK's and NAK's can be automatically generated under user control.
A Configuration Space can be easily created using the Configuration Space Editor.
The scripting language is powerful yet easy to use. One way to create test scripts is to
export traffic from a CATC Trace file captured with Teledyne LeCroy PETra c er. You can
then modify the exported script to generate different test cases, insert errors, or create
loop tests. The “point and click” capability of the script editor simplifies modifying or
creating scripts.

3.4 Connecting Summit Z2-16 to the DUT
The Summit Z2-16 Exerciser can test both the host and device sides of a PCI Express
link through the use of two types of adapter:
• Motherboards and host controllers: Using a device emulator. A device
emulator is an adapter card that fits into motherboards and other slotted
PCI Express devices.
• PCI Express add-on cards: Using a host emulation test fixture. A host
emulation test fixture is a box-like adapter with a slot for testing PCI Express
cards.
Both of these test devices can be purchased from Teledyne LeCroy.
Device Emulator

Installing the Device Emulator
To install the Device Emulator into the DUT, perform the following steps:
Step 1 If not already powered off, power off the Summit Z2-16 system and the
DUT.
Step 2 Insert the edge connector on the Device Emulator into a PCI Express
slot in the DUT. The Device Emulator is designed to fit into standard x16
PCI Express slot. To connect to a x1, x4, or x8 slot, you must install a slot
reducer, available from Teledyne LeCroy.
Step 3 The Device Emulator is shipped from Teledyne LeCroy with a metal face
plate for attachment to a PC case. If you are working with a motherboard
that is not in a PC case, you may prefer to remove the metal face plate
so the emulator can sit flat with the motherboard. To remove the face
plate, unscrew the two screws that hold it onto the emulator.
Step 4 Attach probe data cables between the two connectors on the emulator
and the To Device (15:8) and To Device (7:0) ports on the Exerciser.
Step 5 At this point the emulator is ready for use. Skip ahead to See “Final
Steps: Power on the Exerciser and then DUT” on page 22..

Chapter 4: Traffic Generation
A traffic generator can emulate PCI Express™ root complexes and endpoint devices.
Traffic generation can be used to transmit known errors, allowing you to observe how
your device handles faulty link conditions.
After the Summit Z2-16 Exerciser and DUT have been cabled and powered on, you can
test the setup by generating some traffic. The following steps show how to configure the
Exerciser to generate a Link Training sequence.
4.1 Theory of Operation
Overview
The Exerciser offers two mechanisms for implementing traffic generation: scripts, in
which any type of traffic can be defined and executed, and the Generation Options dialog
box, which offers a collection of PCI Express specific behaviors that can be enabled for
automatic generation of traffic.
Using scripts, packets can be transmitted one after another or with certain timing or
event-based pauses between them. This allows the
with PCI Express-specific formatting and transmission rates. However, creating traffic
that emulates real devices with relatively complex protocol behaviors using a simple
pattern generator is quite complicated. Certain behaviors such as ACK policies, and flow
control require concurrent processing. This is where the automated features become
useful.
The Exerciser includes a collection of automated traffic generation circuits that commonly
exist in other PCI Express devices. These circuits include ACK/NAK generation, flow
control management, a Link Training and Status State machine (LTSSM), replay buffers,
and transaction timers. What makes the Exerciser unique and so useful is that each of
these behaviors can be individually modified or disabled. This allows the user to perform
operations that might not otherwise be possible using an off the shelf PCI Express
device. This can be particularly useful when doing compliance or fault recovery testing.
Exerciser to act as a pattern generator
Starting Point
When the Exerciser first powers up, it is at electrical idle on all lanes. The link is not
trained, but the Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) is enabled and waiting
for a command to train the link. To begin communication with a PCI Express device, the
Link training must occur, but first the generation settings must be set. This involves
setting the Link parameters such as link width, polarity inversion, and lane reversal,
through the Generation Options dialog.
Note: Setting the options in the Generation Options dialog has no effect on the
Exerciser behavior until the first script is executed. In fact, each time a script
is executed, these behaviors are reprogrammed to the Exerciser and the
behaviors are modified accordingly.
The Link Connect toolbar button can then be pressed to signal to the LTSSM to initiate
Link training. Alternatively, a script can executed with the Link=L0 command.
Teledyne LeCroy 27
Page 32
Chapter 4: Traffic Generation Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual
The Status bar at the bottom of the screen shows the current state of the PCI Express
Link. When the Link is down, it shows Detect. When it is up, it shows L0.
All of the intermediate link states, such as Polling and Configuration, are handled
automatically. In fact, after the Link=L0 command is executed and the LTSSM is alive,
the Exerciser attempts to keep the Link active just as any other PCI Express device does.
This includes handling of Recovery states and subsequent retraining events.
The next step is to enable flow control. This is done by executing the Link=InitFC
command. This causes the Exerciser to perform flow control initialization and, if enabled,
begin periodic transmission of Update_FC DLLP's. If the Link connect toolbar button was
used, the flow control initialization happens automatically.
By using these basic commands, the complicated process of link training is managed
automatically. The Link is now trained and the script execution can now focus on sending
TLP packets.
Script Execution
As mentioned above, each time a script is executed, the configuration settings for the
Exerciser are reprogrammed. When the Start generation button is pressed, the script is
uploaded to the Exerciser hardware and executed immediately. Progress of the script can
be tracked in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Subsequent executions of the
same script do not require upload of the script to the Exerciser, however, as mentioned
above, the generation options are still reprogrammed.
Script execution can be throttled using Wait commands inserted directly into the script.
Waits can be time based, require receipt of certain packet types, or can even require
User input from the GUI.
After the script is complete, any enabled PCI Express behaviors, such as SKIP insertion,
Flow control, and ACK generation, continue. This allows you to run multiple scripts, one
after another, without interrupting the Link state.

4.1 Traffic Generation Files
The .peg traffic generation files are text files consisting of a series of commands from a
scripting language (see Chapter 12), and optionally, one or more Include statements
linking other generation files into the current file.
Note: To edit a generation file, use the Script Editor, a specially designed text editor
tool. See “Editing Generation Files with the Script Editor” on page 34.
To generate traffic, open a traffic generation file (*.peg) and then run it.
Teledyne LeCroy 29
Page 34
Chapter 4: Traffic Generation Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual
When the file is opened, it appears in the CATC Trace window looking like a CATC Trace
file.
To run the file, press .
To create or edit a .peg file, use the Script Editor.
The Script Editor is a text-editing tool that can be opened by clicking .
Alternatively, the traffic generation file can be created by exporting the data from a
CATC Trace into a traffic generator file.
30 Teledyne LeCroy
Page 35
Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual Chapter 4: Traffic Generation
4.2 Creating a Traffic Generation File
There are four ways to create traffic generation script file:
• Export an existing trace to a script file
• Save an existing script to a new file
• Select File > New to create a new and empty script file that contains no text.
• Create an empty file using an OS shell (with .peg extension) and open it with
PETracer software.
Exporting a CATC Trace to a Traffic Generation File
A simple way to create a script file is to open a CATC Trace and then to export the
CATC Trace data to a generation file:
Step 1 Open a CATC Trace file.
Step 2 Select File > Export > to Generator File Format.
Step 3 Select the desired options from the File Export dialog box:
Direction: Selects the direction of the traffic to be exported.
From and To: Selects a range for exporting. You can export all or part of the CATC Trace.
Do not export hidden packets: Ignores any packets hidden through the various hide
options.
Do not export Idle packets: Excludes Idles from the export.
Teledyne LeCroy 31
Page 36
Chapter 4: Traffic Generation Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual
Export “Wait for Cpl” from upstream: Exports all Wait for Completions from the
opposite direction. Wait = TLP is a script command.
Export “Wait for ACK” from upstream: Exports all Wait for ACK DLLPs from the
opposite direction.
Saving a Script to a New File
To save a script file as a generation file:
Step 1 Open an existing script file.
Step 2 Select File > Save As… or click on the toolbar.
Step 3 Navigate to the desired folder and type a new file name where you want
to save the current script, then click the Save button:
When the Save As command completes, the newly created script is displayed.
Note: The Save As dialog box includes the option Save all included files. This
option causes the software to save any Include files that have included into
the script. The Included files are saved to the same directory as the traffic
generation file.

6.4 Configuration Read and Write
PETra iner™ can automatically handle Configuration Read and Write TLP transactions:
• For a Configuration Read transaction, the Completion TLP contains the data
read from the internal Configuration Space according to specified register
address.
• For a Configuration Write transaction, the address for the internal
Configuration Space is updated with the data taken from Configuration Write
TLP, and Configuration Write Completion is returned.
You can specify the initial Configuration Space by editing the AddressSpace=Write
command directly in the script or by using the UI provided in the Generator toolbar.
The PETracer™ software provides a special editor for editing this file called the
Configuration Space Editor (see “Launching the Configuration Space Editor” on page 61).

If you prefer, you can write address space memory into the Exerciser and read address
space memory from the Exerciser directly using the
and toolbar buttons or using the menu File > Write Address Space or
File > Read Address Space.
7.2 Memory Region for Host Emulation
For Host Emulation, the Address Space mechanism on Summit Z2-16 does not support
defining memory regions. However, you can enable one 32-bit memory region for
Host Emulation by performing the following steps:
Step 1 Enable automatic Configuration and Memory/IO handling in the
Transactions tab of the Generation Options dialog.
Step 2 Create and load a configuration space with one BAR configured for
Mem32A with the desired size. For how to create a configuration space
file and define the BAR, see Chapter 6 “Configuration Space” on page
61.
After linking with the device DUT, the DUT can access the defined 32-bit host
memory region at fixed physical address 0x40000. The DUT can read back whatever it
wrote in those memory locations, or whatever was loaded there by the script using the
AddressSpace command.

Page 75
Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual Appendix A: Configuration Space Decoding
Appendix A: Configuration Space Decoding
The decoded capability structures in the Configuration Space Viewer and Editor are
based on programmed definitions in the PETracer software and on Configuration Space
Decode Scripts.
Configuration Space Decode Scripts are tools to define capability structures and instruct
the Configuration Space Viewer or Editor how to decode them. These scripts are in the
\CfgSpaceScripts sub-directory below the \Scripts directory in the application directory.
You can write Configuration Space Decode Scripts using the CATC Scripting Language
(CSL). See the Teledyne LeCroy Analyzers File Based Decoding Manual for reference.
PCI Express Configuration Space Decode Scripts have the file extension .pecfgdec.
A.1 Mandatory Definitions
Configuration Space Decode Scripts must set the following reserved variables.
• CapabilityName: Name of the capability structure
• CapabilityID: ID of the capability structure
• ExtAddSpace: Set to 1 if Extended Configuration Space.
Otherwise, set to 0 for PCI.
A.2 Mandatory Module Functions
Modules are collections of functions and data dedicated to decoding a specific capability
structure. Each module has one primary Configuration Space Decode Script file
(extension .pecfgdec) and optionally has include files (.inc).
A module function is an entry-point into a decoding module. To help display a
capability structure, the application calls a module function.
The Configuration Space Editor and Viewer support only the DecodeRegister( offset )
and GetSize( ) functions.
DecodeRegister( offset )
The application calls this function while decoding a specific DWORD offset of the
specified CapabilityID. The offset is the decoding entry point, where the decoding path
starts.
The Configuration Space Editor calls this function to determine how to decode the
assigned configuration space. The offset parameter is the DWORD to decode.
An offset of 0 indicates bytes 00h-03h, an offset of 1 indicates bytes 04h-07h, and so on.
Note: The Configuration Space Editor can only decode one DWORD at a time.
GetSize()
This function returns the size of the capability structure specified by CapabilityID.
Teledyne LeCroy 71
Page 76
Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual Appendix A: Configuration Space Decoding
A.3 Configuration Register Types
The following reserved variables are defined global constants.
• CFGREG_UNDEFINED
• CFGREG_HWINIT
• CFGREG_RO
•CFGREG_RW
•CFGREG_RW1C
• CFGREG_ROS
•CFGREG_RWS
•CFGREG_RW1CS
• CFGREG_RSVDP
• CFGREG_RSVDZ
Note: These reserved variables match the Configuration Register Types of Table 7-2 in
Section 7.4 of the PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.1.
A.4 Primitives
Decoding uses the following primitives.
GetRegisterField( dword_offset, bit_offset, field_length )
This function returns a register field of length field_length, starting at bit position
bit_offset in DWORD dword_offset.
• dword_offset: DWORD offset of the register field location
• bit_offset: Bit offset of the register field location
• field_length: Length of the register field
For example, GetRegisterField( 1, 9, 2 ); means: Go to DWORD 1, bit offset 9, and
returns 2 bits.
Teledyne LeCroy 72
Page 77
Summit Z2-16 Exerciser User Manual Appendix A: Configuration Space Decoding
AddField( field_name, field_length, configuration_reg_type, tooltip,
encoding_table = NULL )
This function adds a register field to the Capability View and returns a pointer to the field,
for adding subfields.
• field_name: Name of the register field to display in the Capability View
• field_length: Length of the register field
• configuration_reg_type: Configuration register type of the register field.
Note: If subfields are defined, their configuration register types override this setting
for their specified bits.
• tooltip: Tooltip displayed for the register field in the Capability View
• encoding_table: Optional. Displays encodings as lists for select values.
• For example, user input becomes a combo box for the field in the Field View.
As examples:
AddField( "PCI Express Extended Capability ID", 16, CFGREG_RO, "" );
means: Add the field "PCI Express Extended Capability ID" with length 16 and cfg
register type CFGREG_RO.
capability_reg = AddField( "Capability Register", 32, CFGREG_RW, "" );
means: Added the field "Capability Register" with length 32 and cfg register type
CFGREG_RW and stored a pointer to this field in variable capability_reg, which can be
used to add subfields to this field.
AddSubField( parent_field, subfield_name, subfield_length,
configuration_reg_type, tooltip, encoding_table = NULL );
This function adds a subfield to a register field in the Capability View. Subfields are
modifiable and visible in the Field View and appear in the tooltips of register fields.
• parent_field: Pointer to a register field in the Capability View
• subfield_name: Name of the subfield, displayed in the Field View
• subfield_length: Length of the subfield
• configuration_reg_type: Configuration register type of the subfield field.
Note: This overrides the configuration_reg_type of the parent field.
• tooltip: Tooltip displayed for the subfield in the Capability View
• encoding_table: Optional. Displays encodings as lists for select values.
• For example, user input becomes a combo box for the field in the Field View
.
For example,
AddSubField( capability_reg, "Mode Supported", 4, CFGREG_RO, "Indicates the
Function modes," ), ModeEncodings );
means: Add the subfield "Mode Supported" to the parent field "capability_reg" with length
4, type CFGREG_RO, a tooltip in the Capability View, and a combo box displaying "mode
encodings" for input in the Field View.
A.5 Helper File
ConfigSpaceCommon.inc include file contains useful functions for script decoding.
