Collaborate Disseminate
Typically, if you want to build an FPGA project inside a PC, you’d need a fairly expensive development board that plugs into the bus. However, [CircuitValley] found some IBM RS-485 …read more Continue reading Cheap FPGA PCIe Development
Have you ever wondered how a GPU works? Even better, have you ever wanted to make one? [Dylan] certainly did, because he made FuryGPU — a fully custom graphics card …read more Continue reading Homebrew GPU Tackles Quake
Psst! Hey kid! Want to reverse-engineer some iPhones? Well, did you know that modern iPhones use PCIe, and specifically, NVMe for their storage chips? And if so, have you ever …read more Continue reading iPhone 6S NVMe chip Tapped Using a Flexible PCB
We’ve seen a lot of PCIe hacks on Hackaday, and a fair few of them boil down to hackers pulling PCIe somewhere it wasn’t meant to be. Today, we routinely …read more Continue reading PCIe For Hackers: External PCIe And OCuLink
After the Pi 4 released, a discovery was quickly made that the internals of the popular single-board computer use PCIe to communicate with each other. This wasn’t an accessible PCIe …read more Continue reading Getting PCIe Working on the New Pi 5
Over its long lifetime, the Apple iMac all-in-one computer has morphed from the early CRT models through those odd table-lamp machines into today’s beautiful sleek affairs. They look pretty, but …read more Continue reading The iMac GPU Becomes Upgradeable, With PCIe
If you ever looked at a PCI to PCIe x16 adapter and wondered what’d happen if you were to stick a modern PCIe GPU in it, the answer apparently is …read more Continue reading Running a Modern Graphics Card In a 33 MHz PCI Slot
We’ve started designing a PCIe card last week, an adapter from M.2 E-key to E-key, that adds an extra link to the E-key slot it carries – useful for fully …read more Continue reading PCIe For Hackers: Our M.2 Card Is Done
I’ve designed a few M.2 adapters for my own and my friends’ use, and having found those designs online, people have asked me for custom-made adapters. One of these requests …read more Continue reading PCIe For Hackers: An M.2 Card Journey
Using cheap and powerful server expansion cards in your desktop builds is a tempting option for many hackers. Of course, they don’t always fit mechanically or work perfectly; for instance, …read more Continue reading Server Network Cards Made Extra Cool
