Frequently Asked Questions about the PXIe controller, COM Express based
Hardware
Q: Does it work with any COM Express card?
A: The controller works with any COM Express Compact Pin-out type 6 card.
Q: Do you have a particular COM Express card in mind?
A: Many brands and types exist. We will be trying first with a 10 PCIe lane COMe-cKL6. Many other COM Express compact boards exist from the same vendor.
Q: Will it work with less PCIe lanes?
A: The carrier will work with COM Express cards that have up to 16 PCIe lanes. It will also work with less lanes. such as 10. The bandwidth to the backplane (where a PCIe bridge chip bridges these lanes to the different PXIe slots) will be higher when there are more lanes.
