Joel, Are you saying you gave up on using the PCIe at all? There's a 4-lane PCIe connector on the Rock64 right, aren't those dedicated lanes, and, if they'd somehow be shared with any other hardware, then you should still have supposedly >90% of the 16gbps capacity available? Did you try

I do actually have an rk3399 (firefly) - like you I also had high hopes for it. It's still the best out of the Arm boards I've tried, but the lanes are shared with the GMAC on the SoC so you end up not getting what you might hope for; you can Sorta get another Gigabit port by using the USB-C port

Yeah I got excited about the MachiattoBin when I first saw it - it's possibly the first non-x86 SOHO router that can actually do 14MPPS needed for 10G in the home. BUT The Copper ethernet situation is problematic, the original design shares the PCI Bus with the SFP Slots to provide copper 10G
