Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCI6638K2K

Hi TI experts,

We have some boards with TCI6638K2K SoC on it. We would like to build a system with up to 4 TCI6638K2K boards. How to connect these boards? As I know Hyperlink only support 2 boards connection, not sure if it can support up to 4 boards.

Thanks.

Best Reds.

Hi Ganapathi,

Thanks for your reply.

Besides hyperlink, as I know, there are also other methods, like PCIe, 10Gb ethernet and SRIO.

Q1: From performance( throughput) point of view, what's the sequence from hight to low?

Q2: In our application, which one the best method? Why?

Best Reds,

Please refer keystone throughput user guide for performance numbers of PCIe, Ethernet & SRIO.

I feel, you can be the correct person to select the best method for your application development.

Thank you.

Hi,

You are the correct person to select the best method for your application development. From performance( throughput) point of view Hyperlink is better.
