Yes, it is possible to connect two P2020 through sRIO. One device should be configured as a host and another as an agent.

Thanks for your reply.some details I wish to know,and wait your reply.

if there is only one way to configure as a host or as an agent by pull up/down resister on POR(Power on Rest)?can we do that by writting register POR Boot Mode Status Register(PORBMSR)?

Another question is that if there is no need to configure a host and an agent when 2 boards are connected with a switch?

Yes, it is possible.

One processor in the system has to be a host to discovery other agents.
