Thanks @Werner

Thanks very much @c0rnelius

I wonder what the chances of that happening are - do you think I can use the rpi4b config ?

Hi guys I cloned the build earlier with a view to building an image for a rpi5b git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/armbian/build and build/config/boards/rpi5b.csc was present. I've just refreshed the clone and it's not there - has it been removed for some reason ? Edit It's not on github either - am I going mad ? 🙂

I've recently used armbian-install to enable booting from my nvme/ssd drive and all appears to be working fine. However, I'm curious to know, why, the device is mounted twice as shown below. The / mount point is in /etc/fstab but where/how does the device get mounted again on /var/log.hdd. mount|grep nvme /dev/nvme0n1p1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=120) /dev/nvme0n1p1 on /var/log.hdd type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=120)

Ok thanks @Werner

Hi all, is it possible to boot from an NVME without a sdcard ?

Your suggestion worked thanks again @c0rnelius

Ah that's good to know thanks very much for your help - are you a kernel developer ?

Good stuff thanks - why put them in /lib/firmware/updates ? I'm not doubting you just tring to make sense of all this 😀

I'll give it a try - are these the broadcom blobs ?

That's probably what I'll do - I'm fairly sure it's broadcom related - I have another pi 5 with raspbian installed (which has wlan0 present by default) so I can probably glean some info there - wish me luck

Your suggestion of wget and install worked perfectly so thanks @Werner now I'll have to ascertain which blob is doing the business - any idea as to how I can do that ? thanks again

Anyway have you checked if the armbian-firmware-full packages actually contains the necessary blobs you are looking for? No, I don't know what blobs I need, all I know is, wlan0 appears after I install armbian-firmware-full and reboot - is it because my build machine isn't running armbian that the armbian mirrors are not found - could I add them to my /etc/apt/sources.list ? getting desperate now 😀

I think we're done on this question I'll go and post in the build forum now - thanks very much for your help @Werner
