Also could you please clarify something? The cellular card you linked to is a mini-pcie device but uses a USB interface and your lsusb output shows it is detected on the bus. It is possible that the 5.10 kernel does not have the drivers specific to the device. What is the msata link you also included? ---

Our default board configuration exposes all of the SERDES lanes as network interfaces. 8x 1Gbps, 2x10Gbps, and 2x25Gbps. The mPCIe slots only support USB wifi and wwan cards. If a device is assembled to support PCIe on the mPCIe slots of our carrier then it will be 1 lane of Gen3. The SOC and the SOM which a custom carrier can provide up to 12 lanes of PCIe Gen3. ---

How I can test if the second mPCIe slot is working? And is there other possibilities to plug a NVMe or SSD? ---

The default production of the lx2-lite carrier is only providing USB to the 2 mini-pcie slots. There is an assembly option to populate those as PCIe, but that is not the default configuration we sell. All the SERDES ports are dedicated to the networking ports. This carrier does not include support for additional storage, beyond uSDHC, eMMC, or external USB3. ---

Ok thanks for the explanation When a build an image with docker where is this assembly option in the script to build it? Could you clarify? Or which SERDES option have I to choose to have 2xSFP28 2x SFP+ and 8x1 Gbps NIC with PCIe support to both slots. ---

The assembly option is a manufacturing configuration for the board itself. It is not a software configuration option. Your board can only support USB devices in the 2 mini-pcie slots. ---

When I want 2x25Gbps + 2x10Gbps + 8x1Gbps + 1x mPCIe which SERDES configuration should I choose? I believe 18\_9\_0 ?! What is the difference between 3 and 18 on SERDES 1? It 3 = 4x10Gbps and 18 = 2x25Gbps & 2x10Gbps? What is the difference between 7,9 and 11 on SERDES 2? Should I not have optimally 18\_11 as SERDES? It’s doesn’t exists. I chosen 18\_9\_0 as SERDES but the mPCIe Fibocom 5G Moduls works. 9 have no mPCIe SERDES. Why is working? ---
