- Please assemble it according to following figure:
How to enable PCIe on Raspberry Pi 5 ?
We assume that you are using Raspberry Pi OS 64bit on Raspberry Pi 5. (codename: bookworm)
- Step 1. Modify /boot/firmware/config.txt file and adding following parameters:
dtoverlay=pciex1 dtoverlay=pciex1_gen=3 # Optional, force to use gen3 speed on NVMe SSD, if can support this function is depends on your NVMe SSD's feature.
- Step 2. Save it and reboot your Raspberry Pi 5 to take effect.
Disk Operations
- Check if SSD drive has been recognized by Raspberry Pi 5.
lsblk
- Make sure the PCIe devices information
- Create Partition
sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1
create one partition by input following characters:
n -> p -> 1 > Enter -> Enter -> w -> Enter
n - new p - primary partition 1 - partition number Enter -> first cylinder Enter -> take the whole disk as last cylinder. w - write the partition table to SSD q - quit
- Format the partition
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1 sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme1n1p1
- Mount Partition to Raspberry Pi 5
mkdir -pv disk1 disk2 sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /home/pi/disk1 -v sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/nvme1n1p1 /home/pi/disk2 -v
- Check if the partition has been mounted properly.
df -Th
- Automout the partition by modify /etc/fstab file, you can use vim or nano editor to modify this file /etc/fstab.
sudo vim.tiny /etc/fstab
NOTE: Please take care of the modifications due to wrong parameters may cause the system corrupted.
/dev/nvme0n1p1 ext4 /home/pi/disk1 defaults,noatime 0 0 /dev/nvme1n1p1 ext4 /home/pi/disk2 defaults,noatime 0 0
Save it and try to auto mount
sudo mount -a
- Check it by using
df -Th
