Ha, amazing!

I did this manually back in Feb 2024[1], but only got "connector A" mapped out and a partially designed SXM2-to-PCIe interposer designed before getting distracted.

During the process, I discovered Facebook's Big Basin JBOG schematics/specs (from Open Compute), which contained a design derived from NVIDIA's DGX-1 reference implementation. Looks like this clears up some gaps in the current reference. It also explains some of the design choices, like the form factor and similar pinout to OpenPOWER.

Nice, I did a similar thing with OCP documents and an SXM2 server schematic set I found, but ultimately lost interest in the project after I rented a server with 8x V100s and realized it was kind of crap for LLM inference.
