Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS160PT801,
Hello, we've designed a test board with the DS160PT801, into which we plug a standard PCIe x8 Add-In Card. The link is unable to complete equalization training at G4 and falls back to G3. We suspect our BIOS may not support retimers, although it's not clear what that support would be.
The DS160PT801X16EVM would be a great help as we could try the BIOS on an Intel reference system with the AIC plugged into the EVM? Is the EVM available for purchase?
Thanks, John
