Background
PCIe has long dominated the field of computer expansion buses. In order to adapt the PCIe device chip to different host platforms, it is often necessary to initialize the functional parameters of the chip after the chip is powered on. These functional parameters include, but are not limited to, device number, speed level, address space, address mapping, etc.
With the increasing speed level of PCIe, analog circuits of PCIe transceivers in PCIe device chips are also more and more complex. In order to enable PCIe device chips of different production batches to obtain better electrical performance, in order to enable the PCIe device chips to be applicable to different host electrical environments, it is often necessary to initialize circuit parameters of the chips after the chips are powered on. These circuit parameters include, but are not limited to, phase locked loops, pre-emphasis, de-emphasis, equalizers, clock recovery circuits, etc.
These initialization requirements are related to the write operation to the chip internal registers and also to the write (firmware load) operation of the data blocks to the chip internal memory. Meanwhile, during the initialization process, a certain waiting time may need to be inserted.
The initialization of the PCIe device chip functional parameters and circuit parameters needs to be completed before establishing a PCIe link with the host. Due to the limitation of the PCIe protocol on the relevant time, the initialization work of the PCIe device chip is completed quickly and flexibly, which is an urgent need. In a conventional technical solution, many PCIe device chips complete initialization of the chips by a method of executing a program by an internal Micro Control Unit (MCU). The initialization method is flexible, but the initialization speed is slow, and the hardware cost is large.

10. The reduced latency PCIe device chip initialization method of claim 1 wherein: the specific processes of the steps S1-S4 are as follows:
s31, the fixed initialization content does not meet the application requirement, and the fixed initialization step is directly skipped;
and S32, performing a configurable initialization step on all registers and memory areas.
