Voxl2: how to enable PCIe?
-
I am fairly new to the Voxl2 board and was tinkering with another m.2 PCIe card connected to the 5G Modem Carrier Board. However, according to [0] PCIe seems to be disabled though. How to enable it on the stock OS? "lspci" gives me no output, not even a PCIe Host Controller, which let's me think it is disabled. I noticed it's "device tree" based, but could not find the right files though.

Hi @jfuchs ,
The 5G modem is actually just using USB over the PCIe interface! We didn't have many users using PCIe so we disabled it in favor of enabling 4 GPIOs...
That said, roughly a day after we did this, the PCIe requests started coming in (as the SW gods would have it ;).
I am going to generate a new build from the tip of our SDK which is 'alpha/beta' level, if you're up to try this out let me know.
Thanks,

@modaltb Thanks for the response, Travis. My manager told me in the mean time, he is in contact with you regarding that topic already via mail. I think we'll focus on that, instead of having 2 communication channels
