Considering buying and question on the PCIe slot
#2
(06-24-2018, 08:23 AM)MobileJAD Wrote: So I imagine the greatest interest in this SBC is the PCIe slot, so what have people used that slot for yet?
Are there any good drivers out there in the ARM world yet that people who aren't pro Linux programmers and kernel compilers can use?
I personally have plenty of small ARM boards and still need to make full use of my Rock64 board,
While I would like to have a newer CPU and GPU, all I would use it for is a glorified small form factor Linux desktop computer.
Is there anything that PCIe slot can do that would make it worthwhile the $80?
I would like to slap a affordable Nvidia GPU in that slot, is there any ARM based Linux that could drive it as a display adapter? Has anyone ran the Nouveau driver under an ARM environment before?

Thanks for any help,
MobileJAD.

I just received mine the other day. I plan to test nvidia and amd gpus.
