AWS EC2 FPGA Shell Errata (04261818)

Implementation Restrictions

PCIE AXI4 interfaces between Custom Logic(CL) and Shell(SH) have following restrictions:
- All PCIe transactions must adhere to the PCIe Express base spec
- 4Kbyte Address boundary for all transactions(PCIe restriction)
- Multiple outstanding outbound PCIe Read transactions with same ID not supported
- PCIE extended tag not supported, so read-request is limited to 32 outstanding
- Address must match DoubleWord(DW) address of the transaction
- WSTRB(write strobe) must reflect appropriate valid bytes for AXI write beats
- Only Increment burst type is supported
- AXI lock, memory type, protection type, Quality of service and Region identifier are not supported
- Transactions from the Shell to CL must complete within the timeout period to avoid transaction termination by the Shell
- DMA transactions from the Shell to CL must complete within the timeout period to avoid transaction termination and invalid data returned for the DMA transaction
- PCIM and DMA-PCIS AXI-4 interfaces do not support AxSIZE other than 3'b110 (64B)
AFI must be re-loaded after an instance re-boot.

Unsupported Features (Planned for future releases)

FPGA to FPGA over serial ring links for F1.16xl and F1.4xl
Aurora and Reliable Aurora modules for the FPGA-to-FPGA
Cadence Xcelium simulations tools

Known Bugs/Issues

sh_cl_ddr_is_ready[2:0] outputs of sh_ddr.sv are not synchronized to clk_main_a0. Developers should synchronize these signals to clk_main_a0.
