LS1021A PCIe Link speed is Gen1 (2.5GB) not Gen2 (5GB)

We are testing the PCIe link between the SoC and FPGA on our own board.

 

The FPGA is programmed to support link Gen2x4 (5GB)  speed which should be supported by the LS1021A SoC.

However the PCIe link is trained at Gen1x4 (2.5GB).

 

I have dumped the Capability register (0x340007C) and the maximum link speed is set to 2.5G

~ devmem 0x340007c

0x0073F421

 

When I forced the value to be 5G and rescanned PCI bus the link speed is corrected to 5G.

 

Can you please let me know why the link speed is 2.5G by default and what is the proper method to set the value to 5G?

I'm facing similar issue. In my case gen3(8GT/s) is downgraded to gen1(2.5GT/s).
I have modified 0x340007c register to 0x0073F412. But still the link is getting downgraded to 2.5GT/s.

Have you modified anything else to get support for 5GT/s ?
