Except by selecting another predefined SerDes config that assigns less SerDes lanes to the network controllers and more to other devices, no.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the available configurations.
There appears to be a way to configure more PCI-E lane than the X8, X4 combo used on the T4240RDB-PB (at least 16 lanes, possibly 17), but I'm not sure that that doesn't disable SATA.
One I2C lane, I2C4, isn't even used on that reference board, and other SerDes lane groups appear not to be fully utilized.
It going to take a little more examination of the SOC vs the board documentation to sort this out.
