Yes, it is only PCIex4, but the slot on the ROCK64 is open-ended, so it can fit longer cards.
Plus there's also a plethora of pcie ribbon cables and slot adapters, if I were to build a system using the Rock Pro 64, I wouldn't necessarily cram a full size GTX 1080ti with a three slot wide gaming cooler on it, and crush the poor SBC underneath it. I could mount the GPU to the side of the SBC in a small pcie chassis like the ones those egpu kits use and run a pcie ribbon cable to the Rock Pro 64.
Right now I just want to know what the Rock Pro 64 would do if a Nvidia or AMD graphics card were plugged into its pcie slot.
Done! Now to install some drivers. This was done in Arch Linux.
Can it output video to the video card? Without any displays hooked up to the SBC?
I am testing that now. I need to reconfigure my image.
Any luck?
I just purchased a Rockpro64 kit, I'm very curious what PCIe cards will work using drivers included with the Linux kernel and what devices will work but only after some extra work.

I have been on vacation. I will be getting back to work on it this week. So far a GTX 1050 has been recognized by the OS Bionic and Arch Linux but no video output. I am looking at options to compile drivers for it. If anyone has any suggestions let me know..
Another thing that I have noticed is that sometimes it takes multiple tries to boot with the card in. It gets hung with error -2 loading firmware..
