• PCI Express features and capabilities
• The definition and responsibilities of each of the layers in the interface
• How hardware-based automatic error detection and correction mechanism works
• The various additional levels of error detection and reporting
• The details of the packet-based protocol used by PCIe
• The address space and packet-routing methods used
• How the various power management techniques work
• Configuration register details that provide control and status visibility to software
• The purpose of equalization and how it is done in PCIe 3.0 and later

If you are going to take one course on PCI Express, this should be it. MindShare's PCIe eLearning course is an exhaustive tutorial on PCIe from the electrical PHY all the way up to software. It starts with a high-level view of the design to provide the big-picture context and then drills down into the details for each part of the design, providing a thorough understanding of the hardware and software protocols.
