How to enable PCIex1 functions on Raspberry Pi 5?
- We assume that you are using Raspberry Pi OS (bookwork 64bit) which can be download from the official website: [ https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ ].
By default, the external PCIe header is not enabled, so to enable it, you can add one of the following options into /boot/firmware/config.txt and reboot:
# Enable the PCIe External connector. dtparam=pciex1
- Save it and reboot your Raspberry Pi 5.
- Check ethernet connection
sudo ifconfig eth1
If eth1 network interface not show up, please try to reboot raspberry Pi and check the configuration and FPC connection.
