PCIe interface[edit | edit source]

Description[edit | edit source]

The PCI Express interface can be available on the Evaluation Kit at the connector J36. This connector is not mounted by default.

J36 is a USB3.0 Type-A connector that delivers 1x PCIe slot. An external adapter is needed to route the signals to a standard PCIe connector.

The external adapter can be found as a PCIe riser, commonly used in Ethereum mining like this one.

Device mapping[edit | edit source]

The PCI express peripheral is mapped to the corresponding device in Linux depending on the associated kernel device driver and on the device tree configuration.
