    Hello,

    The TI8168 PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) module is a multi-lane I/O interconnect that provides low pin count, high reliability, and high-speed data transfer at rates of up to 5.0 Gbps per lane per direction, for serial links on backplanes and printed wiring boards. It is a 3rd Generation I/O Interconnect technology succeeding PCI and ISA bus that is designed to be used as a general-purpose serial I/O interconnect in multiple market segments, including desktop, mobile, server, storage and embedded communications. It is also used as a bridge to other interconnects like SATA, USB2/3.0, EMAC, etc.

    The PCIe supports an interface width of ×2 lanes and a single bi-directional Link interface (that is, a single Ingress and a single Egress ports). Can directly connect to one device only with the possibility of 1 or 2 bi-directional lanes.

    Check the DM816x TRM, chapter 17, for the PCIe module.

    Here are some links for the PCIe driver:
