My vim3l board stubbornly refuses to play ball with a bog standard PCIe switch (ASM1184e), spitting all kind of errors ranging from link never coming up to crazy things like downstream ports falling off the face of the planet. Upon investigating how the PCIe RC is configured, I found the following nugget: the Sysnopsys DWC PCIe Reference Manual, in the section dedicated to the PLCR register, describes bit 7 (FAST_LINK_MODE) as: "Sets all internal timers to fast mode for simulation purposes." I completely understand the need for setting this bit from a simulation perspective, but what I have on my desk is actual silicon, which expects timers to have a nominal value (and I expect this is the case for most people). Making sure the FAST_LINK_MODE bit is cleared when configuring the RC solves this problem.
