Hello
Why are the datasheets from Avago/Broadcom not available publicly?
I actually wanted to determine how difficult it would be to implement a PCIe switch on a PCB. I needed a reference design, a BOM and find out if those chips only needed basic configuration data in an eeprom or if they needed to be programmed from scratch.
I can't understand why those information aren't available, there is absolutely no secret or strategic important information about their products in those datasheets.
Actually I was looking for a PCIe gen3 switch, 16 lanes 5-6 ports.
Only PLX/Broadcom has such ones :/.
Try to find reference designs or open sourced designs that contain the devices you want to use. Maybe that will help you to get started.
