Hi Gabriel,

I cannot understand how ST sti SoCs PCIe IP does not support I/O.
As far as I know, it cannot be selected by the 'parameter'.
Then, H/W engineers dropped out the I/O control logic?

I agree with Arnd's opinion.

In addition, I have one more question.
Then, if a device that requires I/O region is connected to
PCIe slot of ST sti SoCs PCIe, what will happen?
It just prints error messages?
