Re: cPCI express

Hello Urša,

When you speak with software developers you may not hear PCIe explicitly 
mentioned often.  For software there is (intentionally) little 
difference between PCI and PCIe.
In our server systems we use PMC modules with a PMC-PCIe carrier card.  
This presents a transparent bridge.  No software changes were required 
to accommodate this.
