Extension cable for PCIe

For testing my Stratix IV GX development kit from my laptop, I use the following setup:

1. HP Elitebook laptop with ExpressCard slot.

2. OneStopSystems ExpressCard-to-PCIe x1 cable

(the ExpressCard only has a x1 lane in it)

OSS-PCIe-HIB2-EC-x1

3. OSS-PCIe-CBL-x1/x4-2M Two meter x1 to x4 PCIe cable

4. OneStopSystems 3 slot PCIe motherboard

OSS-PCIe-uATX-BP-2018

The motherboard uses a PLX PEX8533 PCIe bridge. The datasheet is available under NDA from PLX.

Cheers,
