Hello,

I assume that you refer to bus_clk (and not the clock on the PCIe hardware bus itself).

Xillybus exposes Xilinx' PCIe block's "application clock", which is the clock used for interfacing with the block, as bus_clk. You may hence change it by setting that block's lane and speed settings, as described in the Getting Started guide for Xilinx.

The demo bundle for Virtex-7 has a 250 MHz bus_clk, which is the maximal clock possible. You probably wouldn't benefit from a clock with a higher frequency, as it's getting non-trivial to meet timing.

If you want your own application logic to work with a different clock, use dual-clock FIFOs to interface with Xillybus, so that the side facing Xillybus is clocked with bus_clk, and the one facing your logic is clocked with whatever clock you chose.

Regards,
Eli

Hi. I am using Virtex 7 and I got the xillybus demo for PCIE interface from your website. Could you please tell me what is the default bus clock frequency in your design? Also can I change the bus clock frequency in the file? If yes,what would be the maximum possible value?
Thanks,
Sina
