U-Boot config looks OK to me. Seems that people seen this issue too, wondering if fix is coming.

After that kernel boots normally and UART stops printing logs. Kernel, btw v6.18, can see and enumerate NMVe SSD, and mount root. $ lspci 0004:40:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd RK3588 (rev 01) 0004:41:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: MAXIO Technology (Hangzhou) Ltd. NVMe SSD Controller MAP1202 (DRAM-less) (rev 01) $ ls /dev/nvme* /dev/nvme0 /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p2 Not sure what firmware you are referring to. I have u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin flashed to SPI flash by armbian-config, while boot dir (including kernel, dtb, etc.) stays in SD card to workaround booting issue and whole rootfs at NVMe SSD. I still think this U-boot NVMe related issue. Apparently NVMe support in U-Boot is enabled but "nvme scan" failed enumeration.

If you have flashed working rkspi_loader.img to MTD before, i.e. from previous releases, you can keep using it with vendor kernel w/o updating MTD. The 26.2.1 image with vendor kernel uses new FIT u-boot loader as well, I doubt it will work with NVMe. BTW, I need 6.18 kernel and new u-boot and noticed that 26.2.1 image default to vendor kernel instead of 6.18 kernel now.

I connected UART today and did some debugging, and it looks like that this u-boot 2025.10 for Armbian 26.02 doesn't see NVMe drive, i.e. 'nvme scan' returns nothing. Is OPi5 NVMe support included in upstream mainline u-boot?

After digging into more details, I think Armbian has moved to use new U-Boot generated FIT image u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin for SPI boot, however, it doesn't work to boot NVMe rootfs and sometimes breaks the board and I have to erase SPI to get SD card booting. Couldn't find more information how Armbian does MTD boot now. Note that older vendor SPI bootloader can boot kernel 6.18.8 but I ran into other issue like freezing system for a couple of minutes so that I'd say to avoid use old MTD image with 26.2 6.18 kernel.

I updated to Armbian 26.2.1 on OPi5, and it can't boot from MTD (rootfs at NVMe), and I have to use SD card to boot to NVMe as workaround. After looking into this issue, I found rkspi_loader.img is no longer available for current (6.18.8 kernel) u-boot pkg and armbian-config flashes u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin ( or similar sata version) to /dev/mtdblock0 and I think this is wrong image for MTD bootloader. If I use older vendor image, which u-boot pkg has rkspi_loader.img, system can boot to NVMe rootfs and I notice that /dev/mtdblock0 has several gpt partitions including u-boot one, and flashing u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin erases partitions in SPI flash. I noticed that several related changes were introduced since 25.11, such as https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/e5b845f9432abb0408287599bba5889a86e6d068 , but I couldn't do quick fix to bring back working rkspi_loader.img because I am not familiar with whole armbian build. One thing to note that if board was flashed with old rkspi_loader.img and not updated with 26.2 MTD image, it still boots to NVMe rootfs, but I have other issues such as video playback not working with 6.18 kernel likely due to mismatch u-boot and kernel version leading to wrong HW initialization. BTW, I checked 26.2 u-boot pkg for Rock 5B (similar rk3588 board), and rkspi_loader.img is still included.
