8 years ago --- Quote Start --- More other boards (Video-, Net-cards) through this thunderbolt is working properly ? --- Quote End --- Just to give you an idea as to what I originally did to test the Thunderbolt to PCIe interface, I connected a PCIe-to-PCIe expansion chassis to the Thunderbolt system. That increased my PCIe slots from 1 to 8 double-width slots. So, running that on my laptop produced no problems when I hooked up a nVIDIA GPU, AMD FirePro, IBM PXCAB, Intel Phi and an Altera FPGA. So, I doubt there is any problem with the thunderbolt chassis. I am now running just one PCIe card in the thunderbolt chassis, so I expect it to work (and I also tested the scenario with an Intel Phi in the thunderbolt chassis as well). There is something else going on here. I am thinking that the windriver is having problems with this setup. I am going to try to move this to a desktop to verify... https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4e/60/p6.jpg
