Question about PCIe Validation hardware setup

ko-hey — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 05:06:43 GMT

Hi all

Let me ask about the following thread, especially cable and bridge board.

My customer plan to emulate the PCIe EP/RC and are finding the bridge board.

Finally, they found the following validation system and want to use the boards which are surrounded by red circle selling.

Q1.

Are the boards which are surrounded by red circle selling ?

Q2.

And the cable is as below. Am I correct ?

External PCI Express (PCIe) - Molex

Hello Ko-hey

>>Are the boards which are surrounded by red circle selling ?

No, they are not. both cards are only used for R&D.

>>And the cable is as below. Am I correct ?

External PCI Express (PCIe) - Molex

Yes, you are right.

In additon, my advicde for you:

Because PCIe signals are conneted to MiniPCIe connector on SabreSDP / SDB board, probably it is not convenient for customer to test PCIe communication, customer can design a simple Conversion Card with MiniPCIe interface, see following diagram:

Have a great day,
Weidong
