On a Rock 5B, I installed Armbian 23.11 Bookworm CLI via a SD card and now trying to setup boot via the NVMe drive. I followed the instructions on https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/ to create a partition on the NVMe drive, format it, then tried `armbian-install` to boot from SPI.
However armbian-install does not list the option to "Boot from SPI". It shows only the following options:
1 Boot from SD - system on SATA, USB, or NVMe
5 Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC
I then noticed I do not have a SPI device. /dev/mtdblock0 doesn't exist as well as "cat /proc/mtd" is empty.
# ls /dev/mtd*
ls: cannot access '/dev/mtd*': No such file or directory
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
# lsblk

Is there something I need to do such as specifying a dtoverlay to enable SPI? Thanks in advance for your help.
