Hello All, I have started to develop PCI express support in linux and u-boot for a new platform. I have some doubt about hotplug behaviour. As I understand : PCIE link up (LTSSM) is enabled in boot loader(u-boot). So link up and first device detection will happen there only. Linux kernel does not do link up and expects all these enumerations to be done by boot-loader. My system HW structure: There is only a root-complex in my system (which supports hotplug ) and no switch is connected downstream to this root complex's port. I connect my device(EP) directly to the root complex. My quextion is Can I connect any PCIE device (EP) directly to the RC once linux is alreday up?
