Coreforge is at it again, repurposing an old AMD B350 motherboard (sans CPU) as a Raspberry Pi PCIe breakout board: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/809
ariedov@geerlingguy you say old, I say my actual setup.
Coreforge@ariedov @geerlingguy
old enough that it was 15€ on ebay (but also listed as broken, whatever is actually broken)

@pa it's probably just a bad bios, and this board doesn't have a recovery flash option like newer ones do yet. There's an SPI header for it though (and the SPI pins on the socked), but I haven't even tried reading it yet, and I don't have a compatible CPU anyways
@coreforge @pa Oh hey you're on mastodon!
William Lallemand@geerlingguy nice hack! that's particularly clever
yaleman@geerlingguy that's... all sorts of incredible.

Look at me! I'm the CPU now!

trainguyrom@geerlingguy that's super cool but it makes sense! PCIe lanes are PCIe lanes, so doesn't matter if the PCIe lanes come from an AM4 CPU nestled in it's socket as designed or a Raspberry Pi via breakout cable jabbed into very specific pins in the socket
KiwiTB@geerlingguy actually genius.
Carlos SolísI wonder how did the team discover which pins to connect on the exposed processor interface, and how did they connect them by hand

Leminski@geerlingguy I can hear Wendell already.
Kestral@geerlingguy insane. amazing. insane.
