Description

This PCI Express (PCIe) Architecture online training course covers the PCI-SIG's PCI Express Base Specification, including version 2.0 changes/enhancements. Emphasized material will include the details of the new PCI Express protocol stack for Express devices, including protocol layer functions and formats, transaction details, and configuration requirements.

PCI Express is a next generation PCI enhancement, and is here to stay. Express is now a serial bus inter-connect I/O technology, along with associated speed, protocol, and capabilities enhancements well beyond PCI and PCI-X. Express is an extension of the PCI Base Specification and maintains binary backwards compatibility with previous versions of the PCI and PCI-X Specification.

Objectives

As a result of taking this PCIe online training, you will be able to:

• Explain PCI Express fabric topology, the terms and definitions
• Identify the PCI Express protocol including layer definitions and layer relationships
• List the Traffic types defined by PCI Express and the meaning and usage of isochronous traffic
• Define the PCI Express configuration
• Identify compatibility requirements with PCI and PCI-X, and PCI Express new enhanced features
• Discuss the parallel/serial paradigm shift and PCI Express capabilities relative to other serial hardware/software architects
• Use the serial protocol analyzer in design and debug, validation, and testing
