Advanced Bring-up Using the Base Targeted Reference Design
Hardware Bring-Up
This section presents steps for hardware bring-up.
1. With the host system switched off, insert the KC705 board in the PCIe slot through the
PCI Express x8 or x16 edge connector (Figure 12).
The TRD programmed on the KC705 board has a 4-lane PCIe v2.0 configuration,
running at a 5 Gb/s link rate per lane. The PCI Express specification allows for a
smaller lane width Endpoint to be installed into a larger lane width PCIe connector.
