2 • Identification and Inspection Product Identification The PEX430 is identified by labels at strategic positions. You can cross-check these against the Advice Note provided with your delivery. Identification labels, similar to this, attached to the shipping box and the antistatic bag provide identical...
When handling the PEX430, observe antistatic precautions. Visually examine the PEX430 for any physical damage. If the PEX430 is not received in perfect physical condition, report this to Abaco immediately. There are no user-alterable hardware configuration settings on the PEX430.
3 • Configuration and Power-Up Configuration The PEX430 is highly configurable. Jumpers enable the board to be configured sufficiently to permit basic operation with most system configurations. More detailed configuration is possible by the use of in-system programming of on-board EEPROMs.
Unless specifically noted in this manual, jumpers should not be changed while the board is powered. NOTE The PEX430 can be configured for XMC I/O or PMC I/O. This configuration is a build time option and the appropriate PEX430 needs to be ordered.
It is not expected that jumpers will be used to permanently change the upstream port. A user will normally configure the PEX430 to use another upstream port using the jumpers, and then this configuration will be programmed into the EEPROM.
PEX430 and not for normal operation. Depending on how the NVMRO signal for the PEX430 is connected to the NVMRO signal for other VPX cards all the non-volatile memory devices in the system could be put into a writable state.
Recovery mode is described in Section 4.2.1 CAUTIONS Depending on how the NVMRO signal for the PEX430 is connected to the NVMRO signal for other VPX cards all the non-volatile memory devices in the system could be put into a writable state.
3.1.6 JTAG Chain (E4) The PEX430 includes a JTAG test chain. There is an option either to use the full JTAG test chain or to reduce the chain to program the CPLD. Table 3-7 PEX430 E4 Pins 1-2 PEX430 E4 Pins 3-4...
Functional Description Functional Overview The PEX430 is a PMC and XMC carrier and PCI Express (PCIe) switch card. It provides a PCIe switch function between devices connected to the VPX connector, the XMC connectors and a bridging function to PCI/PCIX devices connected to the PMC connectors.
4.1.1 System Example Figure 4-2 System Block Diagram In this example system, the PEX430 acts as a PCIe switch between the two VPX PCIe SBCs; thereby allowing the two SBCs to communicate with each other. In this example the SBCs will be connected to the PEX430 configured to have 2 ports with 8 lanes in each port.
For a PEX430 set up for x4 x4 x4 x4 lane operation Port 0 corresponds to the 4 lanes described as Channel A. For a PEX430 set up for x8 x8 x0 x0 or x8 x4 x4 x0 or x8 x4 x2 x2 Port 0 corresponds to the 8 lanes described as Channel A and Channel B combined.
It should be noted that if the PEX430 is connected so that for example two 4 lane ports are connected to a single 8 lane device the link may fail to negotiate. In this case the PEX430 should be reconfigured to present an 8 lane port or the second 4 lane port should be physically disconnected.
4.1.6 Single Ended I/O Signals The PEX430 can be configured (at design time only) to connect up to 6 single ended I/O signals to any of up to 14 pins on the XMC P16 connector. This configuration is done using a CPLD.
LEDs The LEDs on the PEX430 are shown in Figure 4-3. The LEDs are highlighted on this diagram in the colour of the LED. Additional drawings are included to highlight the individual functions of the LEDs.
