PCIe interface for Desktop PC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6411

Hello TI Team,

i need to start a project to do a interface PCIe card , the project is simple , a Software just send command to the PCIe card and this card just redirect it to some digital IOs , can you sugest a MCU for that, knowing that its only 20 IOs needed

The simplest microcontroller that can act as a PCIe endpoint is the AM6411, with 441 pins.

What are your latency requirements? It would be simpler (both for the hardware design and for driver support) to use an off-the-shelf PCIe/UART bridge or PCIe USB host controller, and to connect that to a simple microcontroller.

thanks alot for your fast respond , today i tool overview over this chip , but there is any documents acout the PCIe connection and the decoupling caps for this chip.

according to the High speed document and the related documents for this chip i can't see the connection specificly so is there is an schematics or cad as referance example for that.

for the driver is ok with me no problems , also the PCIe/Uart brige may be also ok to use but this will be my backup plane
