Problem Title:
LogiCORE PCI64 Virtex (v3.0): Data bits in the first data phase of a burst transaction may be incorrect



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

Problem Description:

Data bits in the first data phase of any burst transaction are incorrect.
For example, 6 bytes in an 8-byte transfer are correct, but the middle
bytes may be incorrect. All subsequent data entries in the burst are
correct.

Note: This behavior is noticable only with actual silicon


Solution 1:

This may occur if the non-production Engineering Sample (ES) version
of silicon is being used. The production version of the Virtex silicon must
be used in order to get around this problem.



Solution 2:

The LogiCORE PCI64 Virtex requires the user to use additional
Virtex device data files. These files can be downloaded from the
FTP site @ ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/applications/pci/patches.zipInternet Link

Using the older device data files may result in this behavior as well.
