The Raspberry Pi has PCI Express! There are some quirks to getting certain devices working with 64-bit Arm (arm64), so Jeff Geerling started testing PCIe devices on the Compute Module 4 and Pi 5, and is centralizing the resources on this site. Many experiences are documented on Jeff Geerling’s YouTube channel!
This project is maintained on GitHub; suggest new cards to test or share your own experiences there.
