raspberry-pi-pcie-devices VS Volumio

Are you familiar with a YouTuber named Jeff Geerling? He does some pretty far out stuff with pi’s like connecting video cards to them, etc. here’s a videoabout stuff you could do, I haven’t watched it myself. He’s got this website that has a list of accessories he’s tried with the pi. While I was looking for his channel I saw a ton of videos on YouTube for stuff to do with the pi. Curious to see what you end up doing… I guess I’m kinda hoping you do something that utilizes the full potential of the 4 😁

If you want to use SAS with the Pi, I've only gotten newer generation Broadcom/LSI cards working so far—see my notes for the storage controllers here: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/#sata-cards-and-storage

There's also a GitHub issue with a ton more detail about the chips used, and usage notes from a few different people.

Still working on that... https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/#gpus-graphics-cards

I'm thinking of using the Waveshare for USB3 but maybe someone can suggest something for that PCI slot? Should I just grab a basic adapter? I like something like that HLT one but would want USB3 on the other end with a mountable input. I was also looking to go to the HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro for exposure to the GPIO.

And you can follow along with some tests here: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/64

Note that different network chips can get different amounts of performance through the Pi's bus. An ASUS 10G card can get 2.99 Gbps with standard 1500 MTU, or 3.26 Gbps at 9000 MTU (see https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/15#issuecomment-752200920).

Check out the linked GitHub repo: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/ — for any card I'm actually testing, I have an open issue. For proposals or discussions around a certain topic, there are some ongoing conversations in the Discussions tab.

Specifically concerning Infiniband, check out this issue: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/dis... - I'd be willing to test, but currently I have a bit of a backlog of other gear I'm getting through testing :)

Follow https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/iss... for progress. You can't boot directly from the SSD without a microSD card, but it (or SATA support for boot) may come soon... just a question of priorities for the Pi Engineering team.

There are a few addon boards (for $15-30, most shipping after the new year) that take the CM4 that extra mile: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/iss...

I'm most excited about a few with mini PCIe or M.2 slots on the bottom.

Haven't tried it myself but Volumio looks like a nice option.

For anyone else who wants to do this, just set up the absolutely amazing Volumio on your RPi or any other computer.

The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it's supported as a target in your Spotify app, or you can browse straight from the webapp, which means even a guest on your wifi can easily pop on and help pick the music.

https://volumio.org/ is awesome

Have you looked at Volumio? https://volumio.org/

I get a 404 when I click on your link.

I think this is the correct link: https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2

You probably want Volumio: https://volumio.org/

I use mine for streaming internet radio to FM radio (via a short-range FM transmitter plugged into the headphone socket) when I'm gardening. I was also thinking of running PiHole on it and/or as a music server with something like Volumio.

I have fully working MoOde and current RaspberryPi OS but plan on testing Volumio soon. I have tried current Ubuntu but haven't got the screen working yet.
