Installation

Install the PicoEVB into any available, compatible M.2 or mPCIe slot.

Note: If installing into an mPCIe slot, make sure the slot is mPCIe and not mSATA. PicoEVB cannot be used in a mSATA slot. For motherboards that have dual-purpose mPCIe/mSATA slots, make sure the BIOS is set for mPCIe.

PicoEVB comes pre-loaded with PCIe capable firmware. After installing, boot up the computer. If you can observe the LEDs, LED B should be blinking (indicating the PCIe link is up). If you cannot see the LEDs, no worries, you can get quickly check the PCIe link with the following command:

On Linux, type
