Test Procedure

The following steps show the test procedure:

  1. Configure the HSDC092 evaluation board as detailed in PCI Express 4.0 Compliance Test Configuration.
  2. Plug the EVM into a PCIe 16 × server motherboard slot. Make sure the motherboard is powered down before installing the EVM or configured for hot-plug operation.
  3. Install a compatible PCIe endpoint card into one of the PCIe connectors (J16) on the EVM based on configuration of the SEL pin.
  4. Power-up the motherboard.
  5. Run PCIe CBB, AIC compatibility compliance test suite on the scope to check P0–P10 presets.
  6. Attach PCIe SIG compliance board media (ISI board) and the output of this transmission line goes to the Tek scope.
  7. Checked Broadcom end point by itself only and ran CBB test.
  8. Attached the same end point into J16 and performed CBB test again.
