First PCIe 5.0 32GT/s PHY IP
Richard has been talking about how long it’s been since he’s posted. I have to say, it’s been forever since I’ve posted a blog and I’ll need to work on that in 2019. Yes, I’m still alive and kicking and so much has happened since I’ve posted. More on that in another post.

Video Killed the Radio Star?
I’m afraid that I’m showing my age again with this title, and in truth time has shown that video did *NOT* kill off radio/audio-only media. In much the same way, I believe that nothing takes the place of an in-person presentation. Even when an audience is not asking questions, I find that there’s a connection between them and the speaker which is different for every occasion – even if the underlying material doesn’t change.

The Goodies at Last: What’s new in PCIe 4.0

Beware the Ides of March!
…or in my case, I think it’s “Where have you been until the Ides of March????”

Beer, Pizza, and PCI Express Pontification
Sorry this is so last-minute, but any of you who are at Flash Memory Summit this week, please stop by Tuesday night for “Beer, Pizza and Chat with the Experts” (7pm-8:30pm) where I’ll have a table on SSD Interfaces. Of course this will be completely neutral 😀

Come run with the big dogs at PCI-SIG Devcon 2016!
Hopefully all of you have made plans to attend this year’s PCI-SIG Developers Conference (aka Devcon) next week in Santa Clara. This is THE event to learn about PCI Express technology, and network with your fellow PCIe ecosystem members. Of course Synopsys will be there, both on the exhibition hall floor and in the Member Implementation tracks. Come listen to the big dogs from Synopsys R&D teach you (and our competitors) about two important topics. First, come by Track 3 on Tuesday at 3:30pm to hear how we got our DesignWare Root Port IP for PCI Express on the PCI-SIG Integrator’s List as the first *EVER* from an IP provider! Don’t miss the 10:30am Wednesday morning session (also in Track 3) on PCI Express in automotive applications. Yes, it’s true, I’m taking a bit of a rest on this one and “only” presenting PCI-SIG sessions this time, but the other Synopsys presenters will keep you informed, even if they’re not as funny as I think I am 😀

Silence, SNUG, and Specification Status
“What’s this?!?!? A blog posting from Richard? Wasn’t he killed in a fiery camel-riding crash at the last PCI-SIG Israel event or something?”

So long Shanghai! Toodle-oo Tokyo! Hello … Kitty??!?!?
Wow, it’s been QUITE the busy week here! I’m actually out at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference Asia-Pacific Tour 2015 and it’s been very much a whirlwind. It’s been 10 years since the PCI-SIG was in China, and while that trip might have been memorable for my 2.2 seconds of “fame” on Chinese TV, the China event was held in Beijing and not Shanghai, so the PCI-SIG team didn’t have any experience with this venue. That translated to my flying out Sunday morning to get to China Monday night so we’d have Tuesday to prepare for Wednesday’s show. I had a direct flight from LAX to Shanghai’s PVG on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. While ExpressYourself readers may recall that I’ve griped about some details on that aircraft (which seem to have been improved by this trip) I will say this – it’s a VERY quiet plane! Landing after 13 1/2 hours or so I realized “Hey, I never put my noise cancelling headphones on!” so here’s an official ExpressYourself attaboy (sorry, no cash value) to the team at Boeing!
