PLX Chip Programming / Reconfiguration

[DrEVILish]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for it but I couldn't find a proper place for it.

 

I own a PCIe Card that has a PLX chip on it that splits the x16 out into multiple different lanes.

I have a specific PCIe card that requires Bifurcations, the PLX card that I have has a 8748 48-Lane PCIe 3.0 PLX chip on board. I'd like to learn how to reprogram it to redistribute the lanes around.

I downloaded the Broadcom software that would allow me to do so but it's locked behind firmware, if anyone has the smarts as to how to achieve this I'd appreciate the conversation.
