pci bus on raspberry pi

It isn't possible at a reasonable cost (in money and effort). You don't say what you want to do with it so I can't be any more helpful. You would do much better to find a board that supports PCI(e) by design.

This just appeared in my mailbox:

The 86Duino Zero Runs Linux on x86 - ELEKTOR.com | Electronics: Microcontrollers Embedded Audio Digital Analogue Test Me…

It is an x86 based Arduino type board with PCI express built in. Hope it helps, I am looking at getting one

I can't help but think that a 300MHz x86 processor is going to feel horribly slow even compared to a Raspberry Pi.  Depends what you use it for I suppose.  I have a Minnowboard, 1GHz Intel Atom cpu, and it struggles with things the Pi doesn't. That 86Duino is a full 700MHz slower.

PCIe appearing on lower end boards is welcome of course, but I'd be left wondering what PCIe card I could connect that the board wouldn't struggle to handle.  The choices it opens is the main point I suppose as other boards won't have those options.

Thanks for the answer.

The main goal is to use an ISDN card to make a telephone exchange. The ISDN card via USB are not so good :/

This is not the piece that i try to find.

I try to find a PCI BUS (female) not a PCI Card (male).

Thanks anyway

The MinnowBoards are so expensive! Instead you can buy an Intel D2700 or something with Atom (NM10) processor.

Basically i try to find an raspberry pi with PCI or PCIe. That would be perfect. As I can see it is impossible to find it.

Thank you all

Which ISDn card would you use - I'm wondering if it is possible to make an ISDN interface directly to the Pi without the use of a ready made card. It would need ISDN interface chips and possibly an FPGA.

A possibly suitable chip with microcontroller or spi interface is:

Cologne Chip - XHFC-4SU ISDN Controller IC

It'll be  alot of work !

I think I would go for the XHFC as well. It is available as 1 to 4 ports (2 B + 1D channel each), control is quite easy, the data streams can be most likely handled using the raspberry I2S port, and there is already some code in the linux kernel to handle those (IIRC the XHFCs where also built on ISA bus cards, which will much easier map to this approach than full blown PCI(e)).

I have to use asterisk and I don't know if that OS support XHFC drivers :/

The asterisk is prepared for PCI BRI Cards and I would like to use it. But as I can see, I need to have a lot of work.

I still need to use the Intel D2700 boards :/

Thanks

That kind of boards is used by the ISP Provider when install the ISDN in the costumer.

So I can have access for free. Don't need to pay. Then, I link the XHFC to a BRI card (PCI) and I have a telephony exchange
