How to install pci usb 3 card2/20/2023 ![]() ![]() The Pi’s win by a stupidly large distance for quality, support and community which makes the Raspberry Pi and its Foundation deserve all the credit it gets. Though as I like the Pi foundation’s ethos I’d support them with my money. Lots of boards around, and for pushing the weird edge cases like this many of them might be a better choice. Posted in Raspberry Pi Tagged PCIe, Raspberry Pi 4 Post navigation If you’re building on the work of, which inspired to add expanders, and now this excellent hack by, we want to hear about it! ![]() This is the third iteration we’ve seen for using PCIe with the Pi. This way one can have both PCIe x1 and USB on a Raspberry Pi 4. Exactly why this is is still unclear at this point.Īs a bonus, also found that despite the removal of the VL805 IC from the Raspberry Pi rendering its USB 3 ports useless, one can still use the USB-C ‘power input’ on the SBC as a host controller. This showed that the Raspberry Pi would happily talk with a VL805-based USB 3.0 PCIe expansion card, as well as a Realtek RTL8111-based Ethernet card, but not a number of other PCIe cards. This was also how the original modification by worked, only now it comes in a handy (OSHPark) PCB format.Īfter removing the VL805 QFN package and soldering in the bridge PCB, confirmed that everything was hooked up properly and attempted to use the Raspberry Pi 4 with a PCIe extender. ![]() Now has created a new approach, using a bridge PCB that replaces the VL805 USB 3 controller IC. Ever since people figured out that the Raspberry Pi 4 has a PCIe bus, the race was on to be the first to connect a regular PCIe expansion card to a Raspberry Pi 4 SBC. ![]()
