Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) is an interconnect standard for GPUs (MXM Graphics Modules) in laptops using PCI Express created by MXM-SIG. The goal was to create a non-proprietary, industry standard socket, so one could easily upgrade the graphics processor in a laptop, without having to buy a whole new system or relying on proprietary vendor upgrades.
The connector provides a wealth of computer resources but they are difficult to access and find documentation for.
GitHub user WifiCable (a-little-wifi) has developed an MXM to PCIe breakout card. This would allow for an MXM graphics card to go into a desktop computer and more.
The care exposes everything MXM has to offer
6 Displayport outputs
DP++ support for passive HDMI dongles
VGA output
Dual channel LVDS output
Full PCIe x16 link
Up to 190W of power
Clevo extra MXM power cable support
OEM pins
Reserved pins
Power control pins
JTAG header
Fan header with PWM
You can find all the files in the project GitHub repo.
