haajee 8 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Maybe there are a lot people who got this working but for me was today the day. I buyed a time a go a cheap but fast NVME SSD from Aliexpress. The smallest one a 128GB. I have also a 512GB in my laptop and for the price they are really good. But i needed also a USB-NVME external housing. That is the Ugreen NVME 10GBps to USB adapter. In very short but i will explain more in the future. 1. Flash a MicroSD card with your favourite Armbian to the MicroSD. Update with sudo apt-get update. Also with a SSH session not a problem. 2. Place the USB disk in a USB 3.0 port of the Orange Pi. By the OrangePi 4 it´s the blue one on the top. 3. run the command lsusb 4. Notice the dev id. In my situation it´s 174c:2362 5. Run the command with off course your dev id. Notice the :u at the end that must be added. echo "174c:2362:u" | sudo tee /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/quirks 6. Replug the USB drive. I see the activity led on the drive short flashing. 7. Run the following command sudo nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt 8. Add the dev id after usbstoragequirks and close and save the file. By my system is the complete row: usbstoragequirks=174c:2362:u,0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u 7. Logout and in with your root account! This is very important. With sudo is this not possible. 8. Open armbian-config. Select System->Update Bootloader-> Boot from SD, root from NVME/eMMC etc. 9. The tool will ask you the directory to the disk. Most of time is this standard correct. You get a question about the filesystem. Select EXT4. You get a warning that the disk would be erased. Click on Ok. 10. Wait patiently to finish 11. And without failures you could click reboot and boot from USB/NVME! By my is the Orange:Pi a lot faster! Booting, updating copy files. Everything. I am really happy with this!
