WOLF-70D0
Overview
PCIe Development Carrier for MXC2 Modules
The MXC2-DEV-IO (WOLF-70D0) is a PCIe development carrier designed to host WOLF MXC2 modules through an on-board 400-pin MXC2 connector. It provides a bench-top platform for bring-up, I/O validation, and end-to-end video pipeline testing with MXC2 modules.
The carrier exposes a broad set of external interfaces to route video and control signals to and from the installed MXC2 module, including multiple SDI inputs and outputs, DisplayPort inputs and outputs, composite video connections, and analog video breakout for VGA/RGsB-style signaling.
System integration interfaces include a PCIe x16 edge connection for host connectivity, an Ethernet port, and two USB interfaces. Additional headers and test points are provided to support development workflows such as debugging, configuration, and board-level control (for example JTAG, UART, SMBus, and enable/control pins).
Block Diagram
The block diagram illustrates an MXC2 PCIe development carrier highlighting the primary host PCIe interface and the 400-pin module interconnect to the mounted MXC2. It emphasizes the breakout of SDI/DP/analog I/O to external connectors to validate high-bandwidth capture and conversion pipelines in a lab environment.

FAQ
WOLF-70D0 (MXC2-DEV-IO) is a PCIe development carrier for MXC2 modules.
PCIe x16 is useful because it supports:
- High-throughput host connectivity for streaming and pipeline testing
- More realistic bandwidth conditions for characterization compared to narrower links
This is a bench platform to validate I/O, software, and topology—not a deployed rugged endpoint.
Plan to validate the full end-to-end chain relevant to your MXC2 module:
- SDI input/output paths
- DisplayPort input/output paths
- Composite/analog video paths (VGA/RGsB-style, CVBS)
- Host streaming performance and stability over PCIe
The carrier is designed to expose these interfaces for rapid integration and troubleshooting.
It provides:
- PCIe x16 host interface
- Ethernet and dual USB
- Additional pins/headers intended for testing and debugging
These are typically used for lab control, scripting, debug access, and validation workflows.
Dev carriers are commonly ordered as configuration-driven tools because connector population and usable breakouts depend on the installed MXC2 module.
