Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello,

Is that possible to add a PCI or PCIe Bus on Raspberry pi?

If yes, how can i do it and what i need to buy?

King Regards,

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.

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

Have you had any success?
