• ROCKPro64 was set up
    • debian and uboot for testing
    • allows for PCIe reinitialization by running ‘pci enum’ in uboot
  • Further testing on the SERDES was performed, the RX seemingly doesn’t get what the TX sends
    • Whether the signal arrives can be seen by whether the CDR locks, since the phase relationship stays constant between the TX and RX domains when that happens
      • At 125 MHz for x2 and 250 MHz for x1 gearing at 2.5 Gbit/s, if PCIe is unconnected it is 90 / 180 MHz, since the refclk runs at a lower frequency
