ISSUE: The RESET signal going to the PCIE daughter card is controlled by the PORz_OUT and a GPIO signal. The reset signal goes high when PORz_OUT is deactivated. This does not allow the software time to prepare for the release of the reset.
SOLUTION: Customers should ensure that the PCIE reset is extended until the software is ready to remove the PCIE from reset. The next revision of the EVM will include a pull-down resistor on the GPIO control for the PCIE reset signal, holding the connector in reset until the GPIO is set high by software.
WORKAROUND: Software can place the GPIO low to put the PCIE in reset, and then release the reset when the software is ready.
