The Info tab contains information on the PCI bus or board. The displays differ depending on the RM board used.

PCI Info for legacy boards

Mark the Reflective Memory interface in the interface tree and select the Info tab.

Besides vendor name and device ID you'll find the bus type, slot and bus number.If the fields are empty or contain implausible values, then the board is plugged into a wrong PCI slot.
PCI Info for the ibaFOB-R board

Mark the ibaFOB-R interface in the interface tree and select the Info tab.

Besides vendor name and device ID you'll find bus type, slot and bus number. Bus type should always be PCIe.

In the Speed field there is an indication of the speed generation and the number of lanes the board could reserve. The ibaFOB-R is designed for Gen 2 (5 GT/s per lane) and for 2 lanes (x2) on an x4 connector.

However, these speed parameters are determined at PC startup by the BIOS.

If a lower speed (Gen 1 ) or lower number of lanes (x1) is shown, place the ibaFOB-R in another slot where more lanes may be available ( e.g. in a x8 or x16 slot). If necessary, consult your motherboard's manual.

If the fields are empty or contain implausible values, then the board is plugged into a wrong PCI slot.

As with other ibaFOB boards, on the Info tab you can also see information about the board and the loaded firmware. Functions for service and support, such as reloading the FPGA and updating the firmware are available on this tab.

By means of the <Write firmware> button, you open the Firmware loader dialog. Here you can select and load the correct file.

When you enter a directory path or use the <Browse> button, the table will show a list of firmware files found in that directory. You’ll find the name of the file, the target board and the firmware version(s) in the file.

The file can contain the user firmware or the factory (Golden) firmware or both. Normally the “Golden” firmware is only written at production time. Click the <Write firmware> button to load the firmware into the board.
