Espressobin is really bad, they didn't implement pcie drivers properly. I would stay away, and use an intel atom board from the 2010's.

- subway 8y agoYeah -- that's probably a good point. Don't run the vendor kernel. That's honestly a good rule for most ARM boards -- you should avoid the vendor provided kernel tree. To clean up the odd PCIe behavior on the Espressobin with mainline 4.17, there are 6 kernel patches required. Arch and OpenWRT both already ship them, and I'm in the process of getting them in to Buildroot. I'd expect they'll land in the mainline eventually. https://github.com/jrb/buildroot/tree/espressobin/board/globalscale/espressobin/patches/linux https://github.com/jrb/buildroot/tree/espressobin/board/glob... edit: sorry; 3 PCI patches. The other 3 mitigate other board/chip oddities.
