Honored ContributorHI Dave - I don't attest to knowing much about PCI, and get what you're saying, and it makes sense, but for what it's worth, my Arrow FAE just wrote me to say
" I will take a look at [The Arria V] soc [board], I think it might be a cable PCI-E. it is capable of root or endpoint, so there must be something we can do." So maybe with the right cards it's possible to do a bridge where PC masters the board as a slave. But again, it's moot, you've got me over to Rocketboard. Bringing up the ARM is more consistent with our long-term strategy. I just didn't want to jump into it for this project if there was something much easier, but looks like there isn't, and $$400 - $500 of hardware that will have it's setup quirks and be throwaway is a non-starter. Best /j [no, you're not crazy I did post something different and then delete].
