When implementing PCIe using Qsys on a Cyclone IV GX, should there be a PLL between the refclk pin (100 MHz from connector) and the PCIe IP block? Reference designs do not seem to have one. When I compile without a PLL, I get a critical warning:
Critical Warning: PLL "...|altpll:pll0|altpll_nn81:auto_generated|pll1" input clock inclk[0] may have reduced jitter performance because it is fed by a non-dedicated input I have refclk routed to a dedicated clock input, and is set as HCSL.Link Copied

I'm targeting a Stratix IV but it's probably the same. The IP instantiates it's own plls so I run the clock input from the pins to the Ip block without a pll. Make sure your clock input in on a clock pin.
