Adventures with external GPU card + Gen 3 PCIe
A passionate tech enthusiast has embarked on an intriguing journey, exploring the remarkable features of the RK3588, particularly its PCIe controller with Gen3 X4 link support. The enthusiast's forthcoming project prompted an idea to test the controller's capabilities by integrating an external GPU card—a Radeon R7 520 (XFX R7 250 low-profile) card, to be precise.
Inspired by the work of Jeff Geerling with RPI CM4 and the tantalizing glimpse of a working GPU in a Radxa tweet, the enthusiast set out to assess the RK3588's potential limitations and possibilities. To facilitate this test, an M.2 Key M Extender Cable to PCIE x16 Graphics Card Riser Adapter was used along with an old LR1007 120W 12VDC ATX board for powering the card.
