Not directly related but I test an Intel AX210 NGW that is working fine but not directly detected I install linux-firmware to get it working. https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002129145403.html root@rock-3a:~# lspci | grep Network 0000:01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz (rev 1a)

Hi, Just trying to get more information from the u-boot and it seems that it can't find any device to boot from. Look like it doesn't try to boot from nvme : DDR Version V1.10 20210810 In ddrconfig:0 LPDDR4X, 324MHz BW=32 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=16 CS=1 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB tdqss: cs0 dqs0: -24ps, dqs1: -120ps, dqs2: -96ps, dqs3: -217ps, change to: 324MHz PHY drv:clk:36,ca:36,DQ:29,odt:60 vrefinner:16%, vrefout:41% dram drv:40,odt:0 clk skew:0x64 change to: 528MHz PHY drv:clk:36,ca:36,DQ:29,odt:60 vrefinner:16%, vrefout:41% dram drv:40,odt:0 clk skew:0x58 change to: 780MHz PHY drv:clk:36,ca:36,DQ:29,odt:60 vrefinner:16%, vrefout:41% dram drv:40,odt:0 clk skew:0x58 change to: 1560MHz(final freq) PHY drv:clk:36,ca:36,DQ:29,odt:60 vrefinner:16%, vrefout:22% dram drv:40,odt:80 vref_ca:00000071 clk skew:0x3f cs 0: the read training result: DQS0:0x32, DQS1:0x30, DQS2:0x38, DQS3:0x2f, min : 0xf 0x10 0x12 0x10 0x2 0x4 0x8 0x4 , 0xa 0x8 0x4 0x1 0x9 0x7 0x c 0x4 , 0x16 0x15 0xe 0xd 0x4 0x2 0x6 0x6 , 0xc 0x8 0x6 0x1 0x10 0xe 0x c 0xb , mid :0x29 0x2a 0x2c 0x29 0x1b 0x1d 0x21 0x1d ,0x23 0x22 0x1d 0x1c 0x25 0x21 0x2 4 0x1e , 0x30 0x2f 0x29 0x29 0x20 0x1d 0x1f 0x22 ,0x25 0x22 0x1f 0x1b 0x29 0x27 0x2 5 0x25 , max :0x43 0x45 0x47 0x42 0x35 0x37 0x3b 0x37 ,0x3d 0x3d 0x36 0x37 0x42 0x3c 0x3 d 0x39 , 0x4a 0x4a 0x45 0x45 0x3d 0x39 0x39 0x3e ,0x3f 0x3d 0x39 0x35 0x42 0x41 0x3 f 0x40 , range:0x34 0x35 0x35 0x32 0x33 0x33 0x33 0x33 ,0x33 0x35 0x32 0x36 0x39 0x35 0x3 1 0x35 , 0x34 0x35 0x37 0x38 0x39 0x37 0x33 0x38 ,0x33 0x35 0x33 0x34 0x32 0x33 0x3 3 0x35 , the write training result: DQS0:0x3b, DQS1:0x28, DQS2:0x2c, DQS3:0x14, min :0x76 0x79 0x7a 0x77 0x69 0x69 0x6e 0x70 0x6b ,0x5e 0x5c 0x56 0x56 0x60 0x5 9 0x5d 0x5e 0x58 , 0x6b 0x6b 0x65 0x66 0x5c 0x55 0x58 0x5e 0x5c ,0x4f 0x4d 0x4a 0x48 0x53 0x5 0 0x4f 0x53 0x48 , mid :0x90 0x93 0x93 0x92 0x81 0x84 0x87 0x88 0x84 ,0x79 0x77 0x70 0x70 0x7a 0x7 4 0x78 0x77 0x72 , 0x86 0x86 0x7e 0x7f 0x76 0x71 0x73 0x78 0x77 ,0x6a 0x69 0x62 0x61 0x6f 0x6 d 0x6a 0x6f 0x64 , max :0xab 0xae 0xad 0xae 0x9a 0x9f 0xa1 0xa1 0x9e ,0x95 0x93 0x8a 0x8b 0x95 0x9 0 0x93 0x91 0x8d , 0xa2 0xa1 0x97 0x99 0x91 0x8e 0x8f 0x93 0x93 ,0x86 0x85 0x7b 0x7a 0x8b 0x8 a 0x85 0x8b 0x80 , range:0x35 0x35 0x33 0x37 0x31 0x36 0x33 0x31 0x33 ,0x37 0x37 0x34 0x35 0x35 0x3 7 0x36 0x33 0x35 , 0x37 0x36 0x32 0x33 0x35 0x39 0x37 0x35 0x37 ,0x37 0x38 0x31 0x32 0x38 0x3 a 0x36 0x38 0x38 , CA Training result: cs:0 min :0x5a 0x4e 0x4c 0x41 0x4b 0x3d 0x51 ,0x58 0x47 0x4e 0x40 0x4e 0x3c 0x5 1 , cs:0 mid :0x93 0x91 0x86 0x83 0x85 0x80 0x79 ,0x90 0x8a 0x84 0x82 0x84 0x81 0x7 8 , cs:0 max :0xcc 0xd5 0xc0 0xc6 0xbf 0xc4 0xa1 ,0xc8 0xce 0xbb 0xc4 0xbb 0xc6 0x9 f , cs:0 range:0x72 0x87 0x74 0x85 0x74 0x87 0x50 ,0x70 0x87 0x6d 0x84 0x6d 0x8a 0x4 e , out U-Boot SPL board init U-Boot SPL 2017.09-armbian (Feb 17 2023 - 22:34:20) unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: ef, 80, 18 Trying to boot from MMC2 MMC error: The cmd index is 1, ret is -110 Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 10 spl: mmc init failed with error: -95 Trying to boot from MMC1 MMC error: The cmd index is 0, ret is -110 mmc_init: -110, time 4 spl: mmc init failed with error: -110 SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### # Reset the board to bootrom # With an sdcard + nvme drive, it seems to boot (probably from the sdcard I suppose) and the nvme drive is listed after...

So I made some more test regarding the armbianEnv.txt first thing is if I boot with a fresh SDCard and the nvme drive (flash with the same image) I notice that the /boot was mounted from the nvme drive. I suppose the SPI flash has the bootloader installed : root@rock-3a:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 199M 8.5M 190M 5% /run /dev/mmcblk0p2 15G 1.9G 13G 14% / tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /tmp /dev/nvme0n1p1 256M 118M 139M 46% /boot /dev/zram1 47M 1.4M 42M 4% /var/log tmpfs 199M 0 199M 0% /run/user/0 and the armbianEnv.txt look like this root@rock-3a:~# cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rk35xx fdtfile=rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dtb rootdev=UUID=6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u nvme drive was flashed with the same image so the UUID the same : root@rock-3a:~# blkid /dev/nvme0n1p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="armbi_boot" LABEL="armbi_boot" UUID="5F4E-9DB1" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="bootfs" PARTUUID="651eafa5-90c1-b34a-88be-6db5e1c4611c" /dev/nvme0n1p2: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="rootfs" PARTUUID="eb6a0463-83fa-254b-a7bd-e703cd9c5e2a" /dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="armbi_boot" LABEL="armbi_boot" UUID ="5F4E-9DB1" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="bootfs" PARTUUID="651eafa5-90c1-b34a-88be-6db5e1c4611c" /dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="9e4b479e-7ebe-e64e-b580-511346abdf58" /dev/zram0: UUID="8b7f63d9-3035-4f2e-a856-07b574fb68d8" TYPE="swap" /dev/zram1: LABEL="log2ram" UUID="8a8c18d4-a1f8-4747-a5e0-fb5e299d8ae0" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mtdblock0: PTUUID="ce22cf47-be9f-48cd-8ff4-cba055568687" PTTYPE="gpt" root@rock-3a:~# lsblk -fe7 NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS mtdblock0 mmcblk0 ├─mmcblk0p1 vfat FAT16 armbi_boot 5F4E-9DB1 └─mmcblk0p2 ext4 1.0 armbi_root 6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd 12.1G 13% /var/log.hdd / zram0 [SWAP] zram1 41.7M 3% /var/log zram2 nvme0n1 ├─nvme0n1p1 vfat FAT16 armbi_boot 5F4E-9DB1 138.2M 46% /boot └─nvme0n1p2 ext4 1.0 armbi_root 6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd so for testing I just random the uuid root@rock-3a:~# tune2fs -U random /dev/nvme0n1p2 tune2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) root@rock-3a:~# blkid /dev/nvme0n1p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="armbi_boot" LABEL="armbi_boot" UUID="5F4E-9DB1" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="bootfs" PARTUUID="651eafa5-90c1-b34a-88be-6db5e1c4611c" /dev/nvme0n1p2: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="22edd9bc-4fdb-4f15-9080-c8acf5084fc1" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="rootfs" PARTUUID="eb6a0463-83fa-254b-a7bd-e703cd9c5e2a" /dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="armbi_boot" LABEL="armbi_boot" UUID="5F4E-9DB1" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="bootfs" PARTUUID="651eafa5-90c1-b34a-88be-6db5e1c4611c" /dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="9e4b479e-7ebe-e64e-b580-511346abdf58" /dev/zram0: UUID="8a6ccc03-1293-45e2-bd5a-b367fb0b53d0" TYPE="swap" /dev/zram1: LABEL="log2ram" UUID="2c5f8064-5636-4c8f-9548-e2c801d94754" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mtdblock0: PTUUID="ce22cf47-be9f-48cd-8ff4-cba055568687" PTTYPE="gpt" and change the uuid from the armbianEnv.txt and the fstab root@rock-3a:~# cat /boot/armbian armbianEnv.txt armbian_first_run.txt.template root@rock-3a:~# cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rk35xx fdtfile=rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dtb rootdev=UUID=22edd9bc-4fdb-4f15-9080-c8acf5084fc1 rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u root@rock-3a:~# cat /etc/fstab UUID=6ce28e93-ed91-46ae-9035-701bfe34a5fd / ext4 defaults,noatime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=5F4E-9DB1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 filesystem look fine (/boot and root on nvme) root@rock-3a:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 199M 8.5M 190M 5% /run /dev/nvme0n1p2 116G 1.9G 113G 2% / tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /tmp /dev/nvme0n1p1 256M 118M 139M 46% /boot /dev/zram1 47M 1.1M 43M 3% /var/log tmpfs 199M 0 199M 0% /run/user/0 But the board still doesn't boot without the sdcard, so there is something that I'm still missing 🤨 probably related to the u-boot and the SPI flash stuff (I'm no used to wotk with those)

Yeah ! I mean I see that the /etc/fstab look weird... I didn't touch a fstab since a while so I just correct the UUID of the partition to be mapped to the correct one to target the /boot from my sdcard and the root on the nvme drive just to confirm it was working. But I can't figured out for the moment why a pure nvme boot from the MTB flash doesn't work. Probably something that I don't understand yet with the ROCK 3A. I didn't check yet the /boot/armbianEnv.txt (computer offline right now, will take a look tomorrow, never open the file)

Well, probably did something wrong, the boot from the MTD Flash doesn't seem to work. I try the following (for info, still investigating) the filesystem : root@rock-3a:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 199M 3.5M 195M 2% /run /dev/mmcblk0p2 15G 1.9G 13G 13% / tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /tmp /dev/mmcblk0p1 256M 118M 139M 46% /boot /dev/zram1 47M 1.5M 42M 4% /var/log tmpfs 199M 0 199M 0% /run/user/0 I create a new partition on the nvme drive : root@rock-3a:~# fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2).

Thank you, I will look at the links. I need to learn about the u-boot part (I don't know how it works) with regards to Wifi. I saw that an M2 card based on "Intel AX210NGW" was compatible. I might have one in my stuff, I need to look for it to test it.

yeah, From what I see there (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-nvme-usb) didn't find relevant options from the armbian-config cli. Need to look more deeply into this !

Hello Armbian community I just acquired a Raxda Rock 3A with a Raxda Wireless module A8 (RTL8852BE) card. The Ubuntu distribution from Raxda seems to work pretty well, but it's not very recent, which is why I wanted to try Armbian! The current version (Armbian 23.02 Jammy Kernel 6.1.y, Size: 579Mb, Release date: Feb 27, 2023) seems to work, but I have two questions: 1) No wifi, the card is not detected (probably a driver issue, it works with the official OS), if there are members who have solved this? 2) I haven't seen much information on setting up a boot from an nvme storage, have you tried this? Have a great day!
