General
Information
The
USB3382
RDK
is
a
PLX
Rapid
Development
Kit
intended
primarily
for
use
by
PLX
customers
for
silicon
evaluation
and
design
reference.
The
form
factor
is
based
on
the
PCI
Express
Card
Electromechanical
specification
and
can
be
also
used
as
a
standalone
baseboard.
The
board
is
designed
to
work
by
either
plugging
internally
into
a
PCI
Express
compliant
motherboard,
or
externally
through
a
USB
port
of
the
motherboard.
When
plugged
in
as
a
USB
device,
it
can
be
powered
externally
with
an
ATX
power
supply.
Figure
1
shows
the
board
outline
and
component
placement.
The
USB3382
RDK
has
1
x4
upstream
port
PCIe
goldfinger,
2
x16
PCIe
slots
and
1
USB
3.0
Type
B
SuperSpeed
Client
Port
connector.
The
upstream
edge
connector
has
a
maximum
of
2
PCIe
Gen2
lanes
electrically
connected
to
it.
The
downstream
PCIe
connectors
have
1
or
2
PCIe
Gen2
lanes
electrically
connected
to
it
depending
on
board
configuration.
The
USB3382
RDK
supports
the
use
of
one
configuration
module
slot
to
provide
flexibility
in
the
routing
of
two
PCIe
lanes
to
either
a
x4
PCIe
edge
connector
or
multiple
PCIe
slots.
The
Configuration
Module
will
enable
the
RDK
to
support
the
following
port
configurations:

guidelines
for
electronic
components,
and
hardware.
