AM3352: PCIe device connection

Hi,

On the processor side XIO1100 uses a TI-PIPE interface, which is a pin-configurable interface that can be configured as either a 16-bit or an 8-bit interface.

• The 16-bit TI-PIPE interface is a 125 MHz 16-bit parallel interface with a 16-bit output bus (RXDATA) that is clocked by the RXCLK output clock and a 16-bit input bus (TXDATA) that is clocked by the TXCLK input clock. Both buses are clocked using Single Data Rate (SDR) clocking in which the data transitions are on the rising edge of the associated clock.
• The 8-bit TI-PIPE interface is a 250 MHz 8-bit parallel interface with an 8-bit output bus (RXDATA) that is clocked by the RXCLK output clock and an 8-bit input bus (TXDATA) that is clocked by the TXCLK input clock. Both buses are clocked using Double Data Rate (DDR) clocking in which the data transitions are on both the rising edge and the falling edge of the clock.

Neither of these interfaces can be connected to the GPMC interface available on AM335x devices.

There may be third-party solutions, that I don't know about. Another possibility is through an FPGA.
