About the PROC118E4(001)_SCH(page 30) of the TDA4VE-Q1,the J19 connector can support PCIe interface ,can it support M.2 interface (no use PCle transfer to M.2 adapter) ?

If it can support M.2 interface ,how to connect ? thanks!

Hi Tien,

No.

Only the J8 PCIe slot on the TI common processor board is connected to one lane of PCIe for the TDA4VE TI SOM board. Therefore, the only physical PCIe connection available is a standard PCIe connector. To use PCIe devices with a M.2 form factor an adapter will be necessary.

As a reference, here is a screenshot from EVM user guide that talks about which ports are enabled/connected: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruj69/spruj69.pdf.

I said the TDA4VE SOC chip whether can support M.2 interface ?How to design schematic ?now the EVB board not support M.2 interface need an adapter,

Thanks

Hi Tien,

Yes, SOC chip can support M.2 interface. I would recommend referencing the SK-AM68 board design located under "Design files" section of the SK board's product page, because the AM68 SOC is the industrial variant of TDA4VE automotive variant: https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM68
