From the project
This adapter/card allows you to plug an MXM 3.1 graphics card into a desktop PCIE port.
This adapter card is the most basic one, and includes (1) HDMI output, a VGA dummy toggle, and an external 6 pin power connector. This card is designed to be compact and fit within 100x100mm for inexpensive PCB fabrication. It has a total of (1) PCIE lane and contains basic features.
This card is cheap and small, making it great for testing out and flashing MXM Video Cards. You can also use it as a video adapter in a machine that needs one, like a server or theater PC. This card will fit in a full height slot, but not half height.
