General Information
The PLX PEX 8112RDK-F is a Rapid Development Kit based on the PEX 8112, a single-lane, PCI Express-to-
PCI bridge device. The PEX 8112RDK-F provides a complete hardware and software development platform to
facilitate getting designs up and running quickly, lowering risk and reducing time-to-market. The PEX 8112RDK-F
allows the PEX 8112 bridge device upstream PCI Express port to be connected to a host system slot by way of a
standard PCI Express edge connector (the PEX 8112RDK-F is designed to plug into a PCI Express motherboard
slot). The PEX 8112RDK-F (shown in
) also allows for up to four PCI adapters to be plugged into the
downstream bus, by way of four standard PCI slots residing on the PEX 8112RDK-F.
