REV. 1.0.1 XR17V358/354 EVALUATION BOARD USERS MANUAL
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This user’s manual is for the XR17V358/354 evaluation board revision 3.x. The XR17V358 and XR17V354 are
available in the same package and are pin compatible, therefore they share the same evaluation board. This
user’s manual gives an overview of the evaluation board and the jumper settings for testing various modes
using the evaluation board. The ordering information for the XR17V358/354 evaluation board is as following:

2.0 OVERVIEW
This evaluation board has a x1 PCIe connector and will work in any x1, x4 or x16 PCIe slot. Up to 16 UART
ports can be tested on this evaluation board when 2 XR17V358 are installed. The PCIe interface of the master
device is connected directly to the PCIe connector. The master device communicates with the slave device via
Exar’s proprietary expansion interface. The PCIe interface on the slave device is not used.
