Absolutely.

I read your email again and something hint me. I notice you clarify you
already condigure InBound successfully. Right? If so I'm a bit confused.
For PCIe EP mode PEXIWBARs are not implemented in the memory-mapped
space. If you read any PEXIWBAR these registers always return zero
regardless of writing any value at first. 

You only can program 4 inbound BARs by type 0 configure action like
normal PCIe device.

If there is no any law entry for PCIe the kernel should trap machine
check when you access PCIe space. And as my above comment I'm afraid you
mix up InBound and OutBound on EP mode? So you always read zero from
your so-called OutBound? I means that should be PEXIWBAR in fact. I'm
not sure but you can check this.

I only means you can refer how to access these registers.

Good.
