Finally tried to hook up an AM4 chipset to a raspberry pi (someone suggested this on the pi-pci repository a few years ago), and it turns out it mostly just works.
only SATA and the PCIe switch properly work so far though, the ethernet driver fails to initialize, and USB doesn't detect any devices (on the ports where it should)
@coreforge ok that's super cool. i had no idea the chipset would just be exposed as a pci express device
PCIe card housing AMD chipset unlocks more connectivity on any motherboard, including Intel models — or you can give any B650 motherboard the top-tier connectivity of X670

Daisy-chain devices endlessly, unlocking limitless expansion possibilities.

@realMagnesium12 @coreforge oh that's fantastic, could be an interesting way to upgrade connectivity on an old system
@realMagnesium12 I know, but that's less fun

@coreforge @navi

next gaming router wen? @manawyrm @Toble_Miner

@ronya GPUs were the reason I bought this pi in the first place, but those have been working for a little while now
@coreforge lol. you passed the vibe check.
@coreforge this is some form of witchcraft certainly
@coreforge a) how did you find gur right wires on gur socket???
b) does using loose wires for PCIe make gur signal integrity so bad its unusable
c) this is really cool
d) does this need custom drivers and if so can i read gur code somewhere????
for the pcie peripherals?
@coreforge this is incredibly cursed and incredibly wild
