Hi,
It is possible to use PCIe for connecting identical devices (FPGA/ASIC) via PCI in a way, that both can act as master and as slave?
How is master and slave functionality handled via one lane?
Is there a public description / specification, describing master/slave functionality in more detail and describing possible use cases?
Additional to that:
For connecting more than one devices (without PCIe switch): is PCIe supporting a kind of Chaining functionality (it means: incoming accesses are splitted up a) to device internal access and b) to be forwarded via integrated PCIe master functionality?
Thanks in advance.
George
