PCIe Bifurcation on Xavier NX, Nano, and TX2 NX
Mar 04, 2024
Hello,
I am looking to design a single board that can accommodate the Xavier NX, the Nano, and the TX2 NX. I want to have multiple NVMe SSDs connected to PCIe ports on the board to obtain as much expanded memory as possible. As far as I know, the greatest number of PCIe lanes that is common to all three is x2. I am looking at putting a PCIe switch on this board to bifurcate the x2 PCIe into at least two x1 PCIe ports and then connecting the NVMes to the x1 PCIe ports. My questions are:
- Will each Jetson support this kind of PCIe bifurcation?
- Are there any special considerations in terms of compatibility that will have to be taken into account when designing this board?
