[M.2 NVMe SSDs for NanoPC-T4]

To whom it may concern : found another not-working M.2 NVMe SSD

PS It also equipped with Toshiba chips

Thanks to everyone who replied ! It was bad luck with Toshiba .

Successfully verified 3 different M.2 SSD models :

Samsung 970 EVO

Kingston SA1000M8

Intel SSDPEKKW128G801

 

All three are working just fine (as it should be) , Samsung is the fastest .

 

Beware of  Toshiba KBG30ZMS256GA !

Yes, that Toshiba accidentally turned out to be the only M.2 NVMe SSD we currently have for testing. And looks like it's not a perfect fit.  We ordered a couple of M.2 2280 SSDs - Samsung & Kingston , and will test with them when they will be delivered. And we constrained by time and money   - don't want to waste them playing with multiple drives available on the market .. Thank you very much for your reply ! I'll update upon our results with Samsung and Kingston.

[M.2 NVMe SSDs for NanoPC-T4]

Hello to everyone ,

 

We have several T4 boards and can't get the NVMe SSD we currently have - Toshiba KBG30ZMS256GA - working ...

Tried different 4.4 kernels and various distros . The SSD itself proofed to be working in Mikrotik RouterBoard RBM33G . Before we buy some other NVMe SSDs to try , I want to ask for advise . 

Is it ok to get such messages from kernel :

[NanoPC T4 : how to make usb0 interface to appear (USB Ethernet gadget support) ?]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to build a kernel so that OTG USB interface  with Type-C connector could be accessed as usb0 network interface . 

If someone managed to solve this - please, share your experience .  

[OrangePi Prime: problem with UART]

Thank you so much, Martin !

UART2 is found on pins 11,13 indeed !

 

One more question:

is it right to define in armbianEnv.txt

 param_pps_pin=PA7 

 

and connect PPS wire to pin 29 ?

I mean no mismatch here ? 

[OrangePi Prime: problem with UART]

Hello to everyone ,

 

I'm trying to read NMEA messages from GPS receiver via UART .

But can't read anything on pins 8,10 & 38,40  .. 

What coulb be a reason ? GPS receiver is working fine , I can read it via USB-UART converter on the same board ...

Thanks in advance !
