But anyway, still missing any PCie support on Matrix V1.3 and Moi-Pro which are different:
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
So Kernel needs to be rebuilt but the info's from TBS for both PCIe bridges would be very helpful.
Another topic: The MFG-tools is always set to partioning a VFAT of 500Mbyte after the Uboot writing to mmc2 (emmc) which is
a) waisting space
b) linux unusual to automatic install new kernel and updating initramfs in an existing running system
So why not directly partioning into EXT4 Rootfs w/o using the VFAT? Or even better would be flash file system F2Fs and u-boot needs to support that and Kernel drivers need to be compiled in as well.
Another improvement would be to save lifetime of the emmc:
link-out the periodic data writings like logfiles to an atttached SD-Card which can be exchanged in case of failure but the internal emmc cannot.
