Hi there,
I have noticed that the DM8168 evm board cannot reliabllly detect the PCIe end-point device. I plugged a Broadcom BCM5751 NIC on PCIe slot - The EP device that is recommended in <<PCI Express Root Complex Driver user Guide>>. I power-cycled the evm 10 times, the board only detected the networking card 4 times. So the sucess rate is roughly 40%.
I am using the latest SDK. Is there anything that I might have missed ? I have even went into Linux PCI bios code to force 10 times more readings of vendor ID and device ID after the first try failed. But it didn't help much, the pci_bus_read_config_dword() always returned error when the evm failed to find the EP device.
Can anyone shed some lights on this?
Best Regards,
