How to enable PCIe on Raspberry Pi 5

• We assume that you are using:

Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software
Release date: July 4th 2024
System: 64-bit
Kernel version: 6.6
Debian version: 12 (bookworm)

Step 1

• Enable PCIe function

Edit /boot/firmware/config.txt file and adding following parameter in to the file.

dtparam=pciex1

Save it and then do remember reboot your Raspberry Pi to take effect.

Step 2

• Check if the SSD drive has been recognized

sudo lspci 
sudo lsblk

Result be like:

Step 3

• Partitioning

Please divide the partition according to actual needs. Here I simply divided a partition and formatted it into ext4. Please refer to the configuration method related to the fdisk command to operate.
