T1040D4RDB-PA - Aurora interface?

[miguelgarciacle]

I have the reference design board for the T1040: T1040D4RDB-PA.

I want to use the Aurora debugging interface. I see that this board has not the dedicated 70-pin connector. Is there a way to configure the SerDes to direct Aurora to some high-speed interface and then use some adapter for the standard 70-pin debugging connector?

Thanks a lot

I believe that from hardware point of view it is possible to implement an adapter to be installed into PCIe x4 slot J18 and using the PCIe lane 0 as Aurora. Nevertheless it should be considered that only one SerDes protocol configures the Aurora lane and this protocol is not supported by the T1040 SDK.
