DS160PT801: Retimer firmware support

Part Number: DS160PT801
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIGCONARCHITECT

Hi, Team

We download the following firmware:

DS160PT801.hex

DS160PT801_1x16.hex

DS160PT801_1x16_Alt.hex

DS160PT801_1x16_SRIS.hex

DS160PT801_4x4.hex

DS160PT801_C0.hex

DS160PT801_Compliance.hex

We need to know which one can suit our design.

We use DS160PT801 x1pcs to design PCIe x8 with SlimSAS 8i add-in card to extend PCIe signals.

It uses common clock mode and built-in pin header to setup x8 or x4, x4 width.

We need x8 width or x4, x4 width which can provide Hot plug function.

    https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/138/DS160PT801_5F00_X8.hexGreetings,

    Hot plug is supported through present signal from the NVMe. Please note DS160PT801 EVM schematic.

    You can use DS160PT801_4X4.hex for X4.

    Note programming guide for X8 support. Register 0XF2 and 0XF3 specifies configuration settings - for example X8. You can use SigConArchitect GUI to generate X8 EEPROM. and program your EEPROM device.
