- haneefmubarak 10y agoAh I missed the part about DIY - that sucks though. You seem to be familiar with PCIe 2 though, so now I'm wondering - is there a chip that could convert the 1x PCIe 3 lane into a 2x or 4x PCIe 2 set of lanes? Also, worst case, if you really wanted to use this chip, couldn't you just use the chip with PCIe 2 (albeit slower, but I think revisions of PCIe are supposed to be cross compatible)?

Never heard of such a thing, although it might have been really useful. > couldn't you just use the chip with PCIe 2 Did not even think of this option, sounds interesting. I guess we should wait for the datasheet for this chip to be sure.
- cottonseed 10y agoI made a Kintex 7 board in my homemade reflow oven and 2/2 worked. I had more trouble with the QFN I used for the core power supply than the FPGA.
- sklogic 10y agoI'm more concerned about a budget here than a reflow. Cheapest Kintex 7 part is around £90.
