Subject: [pci] PCI, PCI-X and PCI-e questions
Hi all. I am looking at creation of a PCI-based card at the moment, but I may need more bandwidth than PCI can supply
1) Is it possible to extend the PCI core to work on PCI-X (64-bit, 133MHz) easily? Or has anyone worked on this before?
2) Does anyone here know much about PCIe? I understand the basic architecture, but I don't have access to the specs. My main question with regards this is: Is it possible to just, say, interface 4 1xPCIe devices to a 4x PCIe slot, or would some form of switch be required? Specifically, could I take 4 PCI-PCIe bridge chips, link each to a separate PCIe lane, and have 4 separate PCI busses?
Thanks for your help
Karl
