Hello everyone, I just want to share my hack to use the Udoo x86 as a video processing device with legacy hardware. With a small saw and a cutter, I notched the B-key on a M-key riser off eBay, then I was able to tap into one PCI-express lane of the udoo and use a PCI-express to PCI-32bit adapter and finally connect a legacy 4 channel composite video grabber (Adlink PCI-RTV24) and use it with OpenCV under Win10. Everything works! M.2 riser: https://www.ebay.it/itm/NGFF-M-2-To...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 TOP side: Bottom side: This small board exposes on PCIe lane with an USB connector The blue board is a SSD. Final result (sketchy AF):
I thought that there were 2 lanes. I'll have to look again. If you have it working, could you post comparitive rspeed results, compared to another full tilt PC? I have been pondering an outboard video card for numerical processing (Software Defined Radio). Thank you, Ed
The eBay link M.2 riser board only has 1-lane PCIe possibility due the fact that it only uses one USB connector as the bus extension method.
