The PCIE resource configuration system of the embodiment of the invention adopts the I/O Expander chip 102 with the nonvolatile memory inside to replace the traditional Jumper and PCA9555 chip, and stores the user configuration information in the nonvolatile memory, so that the user configuration information can still be kept from being lost after the power failure. On one hand, when a user changes the PCIE topology, the physical connection relation in the system does not need to be changed manually, and only the register information of the I/O Expander chip 102 needs to be changed; on the other hand, the user configuration information can still be stored after power failure, so that the user configuration information does not need to be manually reconfigured after power is powered on again. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the PCIE resource allocation system is convenient for the user to operate and can reduce the design cost.
In a preferred embodiment, configuring PCIE resources through the PCIE Switch chip includes: port Link bandwidth (Link Width) of the PCIE Switch chip is adjusted, for example, X1, X2, X4, X8, X16, and the like.

The WD (write inhibit) pin of the I/O Expander chip 102 is used to control read/write operations to its internal non-volatile memory.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the interconnection of the I/O Expander chip 102 and the single-pole double-throw switch chip 103 of the system shown in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, the single pole double throw switch chip 103 may be an SN74LVC1G3157 chip, which is capable of handling both analog and digital signals.

Each second-level PCIE Switch chip may include at least one control pin (not shown), each control pin corresponding to one port, and it is shown in fig. 5 that each second-level PCIE Switch chip includes four ports (e.g., state 0, state 1, state 3, state 4 of PCIE Switch a, state 0, state 1, state 3, state 4 of PCIE Switch B, state 1, state 2, state 3, state 4 of PCIE Switch C, state 0, state 1, state 3, state 4 of PCIE Switch D) that can configure bandwidth through the control pins.
In a preferred embodiment, configuring PCIE resources through the PCIE Switch chip includes: and adjusting the link bandwidth of the configurable port of the second-stage PCIE Switch chip. For example, in the embodiment of fig. 5, after the system is powered on, the south bridge chip configures the register of the I/O Expander chip through the I2C bus according to the user configuration information stored in the nonvolatile memory of the I/O Expander chip to output a high level, after the selection of the single-pole double-throw Switch chip, the lap pin of the second stage PCIE Switch is pulled high, and all of the four groups of downstream states of the second stage PCIE Switch are configured as PCIE X16, for example, for connecting PCIE devices (e.g., NVIDIA GPU configured line cards) plugged into PCIE X16 slots.
A user may change a PCIE configuration using the PCIE resource configuration system of the present invention, for example, fig. 6 shows another embodiment of PCIE resource configuration. The embodiment of fig. 6 is different from the embodiment shown in fig. 5 only in that the link bandwidths of the configurable ports of the second-stage PCIE Switch chip are different, and other features are the same, so that details are not described herein. As shown in fig. 6, when the PCIE configuration is changed, the south bridge chip configures the register of the I/O Expander chip through the I2C bus according to the user configuration information stored in the nonvolatile memory of the I/O Expander chip to output a low level, pulls down the lap pin of the second level PCIE Switch after being selected by the single-pole double-throw Switch chip, and configures four sets of downstream states of the second level PCIE Switch into two sets of PCIE X8, for example, PCIE devices (e.g., line cards configured by Xilinx FPGA) plugged in the PCIE X8 slot.
It should be appreciated that the present invention is not limited by the embodiments of fig. 5 and fig. 6, that is, a person skilled in the art may make appropriate modifications to the embodiments of fig. 5 and fig. 6 under the teaching of the present invention, for example, the number of configurable ports, the number of PCIE switches at each stage, etc. may be selected according to practical situations, and the PCIE resource configuration system using the present invention may Switch between PCIE X1, PCIE X2, PCIE X4, PCIE X8, PCIE X16 at will.
Based on the foregoing objective, a second aspect of the present invention provides an embodiment of a PCIE resource allocation method. The method comprises the following steps: and the PCIE resources are configured by utilizing the PCIE resource configuration system.
Based on the Purely platform, after the I/O Expander chip is read and written by the south bridge chip, the lap pin of the PCIE Switch is configured through the single-pole double-throw Switch chip so as to configure the port link bandwidth of the Switch chip. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial effects: in the prior art, a Strap pin signal is connected to a 3-pin Jumper, and in practical application, a user needs to enter a field to open a chassis and manually adjust the Jumper position to realize the switching of a PCIE topological structure; or the PCA9555 chip controls the Strap pin, but the register is restored to the default state after power failure, the configuration information of the user cannot be stored, and manual configuration needs to be carried out again after power on again. However, the invention uses an I/O Expander chip with a nonvolatile memory inside, and the PCIE Switch port configuration is adjusted to Switch the system topology by changing the Strap pin voltage. The user only needs to change the register of the I/O Expander chip through the I2C interface of the south bridge chip, and reconfigures the Strap pin voltage of the PCIE Switch after the selection of the single-pole double-throw Switch chip, thereby realizing the adjustment of the downstream PCIE bandwidth. In addition, the invention can be applied to other principle designs which need to change the configuration by using a Jumper/PCA9555 device and the like. Therefore, the invention can facilitate the operation of users, reduce the design cost and is suitable for mass production products.
