How to enable PCIe function on Raspberry Pi 5

How to enable PCIe on Raspberry Pi 5 ?

By default, the external PCIe header is not enabled, so to enable it.

  • Modify /boot/firmware/config.txt and adding following parameters:
dtparam=pciex1

And the connection is certified for Gen 2.0 speed (5 GT/sec), but you can force it to Gen 3.0 (10 GT/sec) if you add the following line after: 

dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

You can run devices at PCIe Gen 3.0 speeds if you test and they run stable.

  • Enable auto detection PCIe and booting from NVME.
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit

Adding following parts: 

PCIE_PROBE=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf416

The 6 means to enable booting from nvme. Reboot Raspberry Pi 5 and try to use `lsblk` or `lspci -vvv` to get more details of the PCIe device.

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
  • Mount Partition to Raspberry Pi 5
 mkdir -pv disk1 
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /home/pi/disk1 -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

Save it and try to auto mount 

sudo mount -a
  • Check it by using
df -Th
