Tool/software: Linux
We are building a product based on the AM5728 following the EVM reference design and the TI Linux SDK.
I've been reading that the PCI host on the AM5728 doesn't support PCI hot plug:

This is a problem for us. Our product involves plugging in custom PCI modules and we don't want our customers to have to restart to detect the module has been plugged in.
1) Can you confirm that PCI hot swap is NOT supported on the AM5728?
2) Is it possible to bring up a new device by reseting or manipulating the PCI host?
Thanks.
