LIFCL-PCIEB-EVN

LIFCL-PCIEB-EVN is a CrossLink-NX PCIe bridge board designed as a connectivity development platform to enable rapid bridging of multiple I/O standards to PCIe. Supporting a wide range of interface combinations—such as MIPI, SGMII, RGMII, USB3, and GPIO/I²C/MDIO—to PCIe, the board facilitates both endpoint and root port PCIe configurations. It features essential components for embedded development including DDR3, Ethernet, UART, ADC, and SPI Flash, making it ideal for prototyping and system integration. This board is especially useful for engineers developing proof-of-concept designs, with downloadable demos and reference designs for PCIe, SGMII, DDR3, soft error correction (SEC), and D-PHY-based camera/display interfaces available from the Lattice Solutions page to accelerate development timelines.
