Hi
I have purchased a PCIE camera extender cable from SAMTEC for the Microzed Embedded Vision Carrier card. I'm trying to extend the Python 1300C camera module. The SAMTEC part number is PCIEC-064-0100-EC-EM-P-85. 064 = x4 lane width, 0100 = 100 mm length, EC-EM=two connectors, P=Eye speed cable and power lines, 85=85 Ohm impedance. When I try to use the extender cable I can here a click from the card and the power light to the carrier card goes out. No other lights come on from the attached Microzed card or the carrier card. The click sounds like a relay and is very faint. The hardware design guide for the carrier card says an extender card should work. The only options for the cable that I was not sure about were the cable option. My choices were:
P (which I picked), eye speed with power
C eye speed Copper
CP eye speed copper with power.
I have two cables and they both exhibit same symptoms. Has anyone successfully exentended the Python Camera module on this carrier card?
