2.1
OSS-PCIe-HIB616-x16 card
A pair of HIB616-x16 card, one is configured as a host card and the other is configured as a target card.
2.2
SFF-8644 Gen4 x4 Cable
This passive copper cable mates to the SFF-8644 connectors on the HIB6xx family of OSS host interface board.
Tested and validated with 1m, 2m and 3m lengths
Single or multiple cables can form larger PCIe links
o
x4 (1 cable)
o
x8 (2 cables)
o
X16 (4 cables)
The cable that we qualified is the PCIe Gen 4 x4 (with GREEN tab), see photo below. The FPGA in the HIB616-x16 card does not support CMI
operations.
