Development Tools
PLX offers the PEX 8505RDK which includes hardware and
software tools to enable rapid customer design activity. These
tools consist of a hardware module, hardware documentation
and a Software Development Kit (SDK).
ExpressLane PEX 8505RDK
The RDK hardware includes three modules: the PEX 8505
base board, the Port Expander which provides four x1 ports,
and a PCI Express adapter board which provides connection to
the Host slot.
The PEX 8505RDK hardware module is configured as a
bench-top board to provide five ports. The adapter board
routes the PCI Express signals from the Host slot to a standard
(PCI SIG defined) PCI Express x1 cable connector. The
connection between the PEX 8505 and the host is made via the
x1 cable. The PEX 8505RDK can be used to test and validate
customer software. Additionally, it can be used as an
evaluation vehicle for the PEX 8505 features and benefits.
