A.5.4. CXL Interface
The Intel Agilex FPGA (two F-tiles) development board provides a CXL connector
interface for cabling to an Intel-designed M.2 SSD daughter card supporting M-Keying.
This interface connects to four 28 Gbps F-tile lanes of the Intel Agilex FPGA. When
connecting the development board to this SSD daughter card, the development board
connects four transceiver channels from the F-tile bank 12C to M2 channels 8-11 (J5)
of the M.2 daughter card.
