IS there any known issues with the DM8168 EVM dev kit?

Specifically.

Do you know if the PCI-E slot on the Demo is fully functional?

Do you know id the 2^nd Ethernet interface on the Expansion I/O card is Functional?

Apparently there isn't a driver for a WI-FI device via the PCI_E port.

Customer is trying to use a PCI-E based WI-FI device.

I am now researching building a kernel with the WIFI drivers I would like to test on the PCI-E slot.

Charles,

Can you provide more info as which WiFi card (and chipset) being used? Also please provide boot logs by enabling debugging as described in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM816x_C6A816x_AM389x_PCI_Express_Root_Complex_Driver_User_Guide#Kernel_Configuration

Hi Charles,

Do you know the URL for a user guide to setting up the DM8168 DVM as an endpoint?
