    Odd news on the P5020 evaluation board. I inquired about the default SerDes configuration and got this info.

    Factory SerDes configuration for the P5020DS board is 0x36:
    PCIe1 x2
    PCIe3 x2
    SGMII EC1
    SGMII EC2
    SGMII EC3
    SGMII EC4
    Debug x2
    XAUI 10GEC
    SATA1
    SATA2

    Of course it is possible to modify the RCW to use another SerDes configuration.


    So as shipped, the PCIe lanes are relatively limited. Luckily we already know that we can reconfigure for one X8 PCIe or three X4 PCIe configurations.
