You drive is SATA but you need PCIE NVME. Did exactly same mistake you need to buy correct one.

I finally managed to boot from SPI + NVME (without SD card) but only with original image. I basically followed guide in manual and instead of flashing original I tried to flash Armbian image, but it won't boot at all and hangs on red diod only. Summary of what I did (may help someone): Create bootable SD card with original OrangePi image downloaded from here Copy image file to SD card you created, ideally to your home folder. Boot it on your OrangePi Install gdisk `sudo apt install gdisk` USe it to delete whole NVME storage `sudo gdisk /dev/nvme0n1` then delete all partitions using `d` command and write changes by `w`. (should no be necessary) Clear nvme storage just to be sure `sudo dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 count=2000 status=progress` Flash image to NVME storage using command `sudo dd bs=1M if=Orangepi5_x.x.x_debian_bullseye_desktop_xfce_linux5.10.110.img of=/dev/nvme0n1 status=progress` Install bootloader to SPI flash `sudo nand-sata-install` and select option 7 Turn off and remove SD card Turn on and it should boot from SPI + NVME I tried to replace image in step 7. with Armbian image `Armbian_23.02.0-trunk.0112_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_minimal.img` but it did not booted then.

@berin Thanks I will try to follow original manual today or tomorrow to boot from SPI, but I think I did something very similar and it did not worked. Btw. under normal load my OragePi keeps temperature between 40 - 50 C which is very nice.

Did anyone have guide how make it boot from NVME? I was able to install it using `armbian-install` but when I use `SPI/MTD Flash boot` it doesn't boot at all and I use first option with bootloader on SD card it will throw error during start `failed to mount /media/mcboot` and boot to SD card system in emergency mode.

@Reneco Are you sure it's NVME M2 SSD? I accidentaly bought SATA M2 SSD and it was not recognized same as yours.
