Not the pi, but the vaguely-similar (better, IMHO) https://www.pine64.org/rockpro64/ https://www.pine64.org/rockpro64/ has a 4x pcie. Works great for a sata/raid controller, but still has plenty of "embedded" limitations - you can't just plug a graphics card into it.
- tmzt 6y agoWhat's preventing you from using an AMD graphics card, assuming it could be fully inited via modesetting DRM and AGESA?
- CrazyPyroLinux 6y agoHmm I always assumed that there were missing/unsolved pieces of the driver that would need to be fixed first, based on the way that support for these devices seems to need to be solved one by one [0] but it looks like at least someone has made progress on a different board [1] [0] ayufan https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCqJg0VSzvihUOoxCOq3wt5JeGB4iApAyBBfc_BGv2A/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCqJg0VSzvihUOoxCOq3...

- detaro 6y agoLast I saw the chipset can't map enough memory space to PCIe for GPUs to work, but this might be possible to change with a firmware update.
