ROCKPro64 accessories - by type

PCIe devices

Type	Make/Model	Hardware IDs	Kernel	Result	Notes
NIC	Intel I350 Dual Port		Mainline-5.4	good	SR-IOV fails
NIC	Intel I350 Quad Port			?
NIC	Intel X520 Dual Port	8086:10fb	Mainline-5.6	good	SR-IOV fails
NIC	Intel X550-T2 Dual Port	8086:1563	5.15.0-trunk-arm64 (Debian)	good	netperf throughput in FW mode, 20 streams: between 4136-6613mb/s across use cases.
NIC	Intel 82571EB Dual Port (HP NC360T)		Mainline-5.6	crash	kernel crash on boot
NIC	Intel 82575/82576	8086:1521	OpenWrt 21.02-rc1 ; 5.4.111-1	good	opkg: kmod-igb ; OpenWrt 21.02-rc1 5.4.111-1 ; ~92.8 KB ; Kernel modules for Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
NIC	Aquantia 10GBps AQC107	1d6a:07b1	Mainline 5.16	good	Works perfectly out of the box.
GPU	nVidia GTX-645		Mainline-5.4	crash	BAR size too small, triggers PCIe error handling bug
PCIe Switch	PCIE-EUX1-04 Ver.002		Mainline-5.4	good
SATA Controller	ASM1062 4-Port		Mainline-5.6	good	tested only with one disk attached
SATA Controller	ASM1062 (rev 02) 4-Port	1d87:0100	Ayufan-4.4.190	good	tested with four disks, 3 in raid 5
SATA Controller	IOCrest (Same as Syba?) SI-PEX40063 4-port, Marvell 88SE9235 chip	1b4b:9235	Debian unstable 5.7, 5.8	good	Tested with two disks. SATA errors occurred with a WD Red drive in a cheap enclosure; resolved by connecting the same drive directly to the card.
SATA Controller	Ziyituod SATA Card ASM 1062+1093 6-Port	1b21:0625	Mainline-4.4 (armbian)	good	tested with 6 disks
SATA Controller	BEYMEI RAID 4-Port, Marvell 88SE9230 chip	1b4b:9230	Ayufan-5.6.0-1137	good	Tested with 3 disks in RAID 5. I added pci=nomsi to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf kernel parameters and an udev rule before the disks were recognized: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x1b4b", ATTR{device}=="0x9230", RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'echo %k > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/bind'"
SATA Controller	BEYIMEI SATA Card 6-Port, ASM1166 chip		5.10.0-16-arm64 (Debian)	good	Tested with 4 disks. Built 2 separate software RAID-1 arrays without errors. Performance seems good enough for a NAS on gigabit LAN.
SATA Controller	BEYIMEI SATA Card 2-Port, ASM1062 chip	1b21:0612	5.10.0-19-arm64 (Debian)	good	Using with 2 SSDs in a software RAID-1 array (~190MB/sec for reading and writing)
SATA Controller	QNINE 4-Port, Marvell 88SE9215 chip		Ayufan-5.6.0-1137	very slow	Tested with 3 disks in RAID 5. Top speeds were around 50 MiB/s but quickly dropped to below 2 MiB/s due to SATA CRC errors
SATA Controller	DELOCK 90498, JMicron Technology Corp. JMB58x AHCI SATA controller	197b:0585	5.18.0-0.bpo.1-arm64 (Debian bullseye + backports)	good	Tested with 3 disks, two in RAID1, one standalone, no issues
Host Bus Adapter	LSI SAS 9211-4i	1000:0070	Ayufan-4.4.197	good	tested with four disks attached
USB Controller	ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller	1b21:1242	Mainline-5.15.0-rc5	good
DTMB Quad Tuner	TBS Technologies	TSS6514	Mainline-5.10.21	good	TV -> LAN streaming server, 7W idle, 8-10W with one FHD channel streaming
DVB-T2/C Quad Tuner	TBS Technologies	TBS6205	5.10.0-16-arm64 (Debian)	good	Working well with Tvheadend

NVMe SSD drives

Type	Make/Model	Size	Hardware IDs	Kernel	Result	Notes	Power options Active only	Save power setting?
NVMe	Samsung 970 Evo	500 GB		Mainline 5.6	good	-	defaults	defaults
NVMe	Samsung 960 Evo	500 GB	144d:a804	Mainline 5.13-rc4	doesn't work	Likely due to 64/32 BAR mismatch issue on Linux 5.11+	defaults	defaults

USB hardware

Type	Make/Model	Hardware IDs	Kernel	Result	Notes

USB C alternate mode DP

Note that only USB C alternate mode Display Port will pass video. Any HDMI, DVI or VGA port must be converted internally by the device from Display Port - or the device won't work for video.
