Thunderbolt to GPU Adapter

Copyright (c) 2023 Antmicro

Overview

This project contains open hardware design files for an adapter board wrapping 4-lane (i.e. 4x) PCIe Gen 3.0 devices into a Thunderbolt 3 uplink. It is based on the Intel/JHL6340SLLSQ Thunderbolt controller. The design files were prepared in KiCad 6.x.

Key features

  • Intel JHL6340SLLSQ Thunderbolt 3 controller
  • PCIe x16 expansion slot
  • On-board Step-Up DC-DC generating 12V (required by some PCIe cards)

Project structure

The main directory contains KiCad PCB project files, a LICENSE, and a README. The remaining files are stored in the following directories:

  • lib - contains the component libraries
  • img - contains graphics for this README
  • doc - contains schematics in pdf form
