This document describes techniques to debug link training issues with 7 Series Integrated PCI Express Block.  A  complete  list  of  signals  to  capture in ChipScope Pro/Vivado ILA when debugging link training issues has been provided. Screen captures of the signal waveforms illustrate how to analyze those signals and establish theories on potential reasons causing the problem. One of the main reasons behind running into the link training issue is due to the Signal Integrity (SI) issue on the board. A general guideline of things to check has been provided to debug probable issues due to SI.

The link training issue does not entirely depend on the PCIe Core. It is equally a function of the board and how the system is connected up. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all the factors affecting the signal integrity on the board should be thoroughly checked (e.g. reference clock quality, voltage signal level etc.). There are few transceiver parameters that a user could tune to suit their system. This has been discussed in this document.
