Is it possible to configure Intel i7 12th gen processor as PCIe Endpoint

[sujan19]

Hi, 

We wanted to know that if it is possible to configure Intel i7 12th gen processor installed on a PCE-5133 Single board Computer as an PCIe Endpoint ?

Can this be achieved while running Ubuntu & by writing a custom driver ?

Thanks & Regards,
Sujan

Hello sujan19, 

Thank you for posting in the communities. To be more specific with our answers, do you have a specific 12th gen CPU model in mind? About the custom drivers, are these drivers created by you as well? I will be waiting for your reply.

Hi Ramyer, 

Yes we are using a - CORE I7 2.1G 25M 12C 1700P I7-12700 (96MPI7A-2.1-25M17) on our SBC. 

We don't have a custom driver. We wanted to check if there is a dedicated PCIe Endpoint driver for linux (any) supported by Intel ? 

Can you provide any example on how to set it up ?

Thanks,

Sujan

Hi Ramyer, 

Note: Additional info on our setup. 

PCE-5133 SBC with Intel I7 12th gen (Root Port)  <----- PCIe Gen 3.0 Interface ----->  PCE-5133 SBC with Intel I7 12th gen (Endpoint) 

We want to setup ingress translation such that we can exchange data between both SBC's . 

Since the by default Ubuntu is configured as Root Port, we are keeping it as it is. 

Hence, we want to configure the other SBC as PCIe Endpoint. 

Thanks, 
Sujan

Hi Ramyer M, 

we are also facing the same issue and require your support 

card : https://www.advantech.com/en/products/1-2jkp2l/pce-5133/mod_9dd4a86e-6bff-42a8-bf2f-4b8f1ccc2189

processor : 96MPI7A-2.1-25M17- CORE I7 2.1G 25M 12C 1700P I7-12700  ( https://www.advantech.com/en/products/7e17429b-a827-4726-bb7b-97613687e707/96mpi7a-21-25m17/mod_ce067573-21ff-437d-9b78-50eb267ea997)

can you please provide the method to enable this card as end point .

Scenario: We have two Advantech PCE-5133 cards. One of these cards is already configured as the root point (which is the default configuration). The other identical card will serve as the end point for memory mapping.
