Microchip Technology PCI11414 Quick Start Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The PCI11414 Quick Start Guide provides a visual view of step-by-step procedures used to exercise each peripheral
system available in EVB-PCI11414. The PCI11414 is a PCIe
and 3.1 Gen2), and UART. The versatile nature of this product makes it ideal for embedded systems and industrial appli-
cations.
Detailed information is included in the following sections:
• Section 2.0, General Considerations
• Section 3.0, Board Setup
• Section 4.0, Programming the Board
• Section 5.0, Verifying Hardware
