About the Tinyriser v2 PCB
Tinyriser v2 is an open source PCB design by a-little-wifi, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 113.3 × 23.5 mm, with 7 components from 6 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 diode and 1 resistor.
From the project
Cooler/cuter riser for Lenovo 8th/9th gen Tiny5 PCs
Exposes the x8 and x4 PCIe links in the riser slot, in the form of a PCIe x16 slot and an m.2 slot.
The x8 link comes from the CPU and was meant for GPU equipped models, while the x4 link comes from the PCH and was meant for the Thunderbolt and NIC equipped models. Lenovo made two different risers for these configurations, only using one link at a time, but this riser gives you both PCIe links at once! The two links are completely independent and are able to function at the same time.
