SERDES Interface

The AM65x processor has two SERDES lanes, which support multiplexed USB3.0, PCIe Gen3, or SGMII functionalities. There is a dedicated USB 2.0 (USB0) port terminated to the SERDES connector.

The SERDES0 lane can be configured as a PCIe, USB3.0, or SGMII port. The SERDES1 lane can be configured as PCIe or SGMII. All the signals are terminated to the SERDES connector, allowing various SERDES daughter cards to interface with the processor card. The PCIe lanes can be configured a single 2-lane port or two 1-lane ports independently.

The pin-out of SERDES connector is shown in Table 3-30.
