OPI 5+ 16GB random fails with NVMe

[Cristian Apas]

Hi

 

Anyone else having problems with NVMe disks on the Orange Pi 5 Plus 16gb? I have a WD Black SN750 and use the original power supply, I have tried with Armbian and Ubuntu Rockchip and with both I have random failures at startup not recognizing the drive.

 

When fail I do this tests:

What kernel version are you using and have you tried others?

Do you have another machine that you can test the nvme on? Are you sure the drive is ok?

Reinstall the nvme you may have connection issues.

What amp output does it say on the charger?

original power supply

May not be enough. It seems like you run a full fledged DE on it which also means you most likely have peripherals connected like mouse, keyboard and so on.

 

I have an 5+ with NVMe here as well and runs stable. No desktop though. Also I use an industrial grade PSU for all my SBCs that doesn't break down easily and can be adjusted to compensate for losses across connectors and wiring.

[Cristian Apas]

@Michael Robinson I tried with vendor kernel 6.1.75 and 6.1.0.1025-25 from JR, the NVMe is ok when I test in my PC, and the power supply have 4A.

@Werner yes, its a desktop environment with only wireless keyboard & mouse combo usb transciver and HDMI monitor connected, how much power I need for this configuration?

 

Thanks.

[Werner]

I don't know. Maybe the 4 amps the original PSU provides are sufficient in theory but  the voltage breaks down early leading into issues. You could get one of these cheap usb voltage meter thingies if you don't have a proper multimeter at hand. If voltage breaks below 4.9 to 5V issues are to be expected.

[Eddie]

BTW official PSU for OPi5 is 5A now.

perhaps some of the tips suggested here may be relevant? https://serverfault.com/questions/1011077/linus-ext4-nvme-crashes-during-high-io

This is an older post, but I can confirm that the WD Black SN750 does not work reliably in the Orange Pi 5 Plus.  I, at first, assumed it was a me problem or a software problem, but when I gave up on the WD_Black nvme and put a 2TB Team Group unit it, it because to function perfectly without hiccup or problem.

 

I know the SN750 itself is not faulty, as it works fine when I put it back in my primary amd64 desktop system.

It might be that the OPI5 plus doesn't provide enough power to the m.2 slot for that nvme drive and it still is an power issue like Werner told. The same as with the Raspberry Pi 5 has with many nvme drives. Perhaps it helps to lower the pcie speed, although I haven't tried that.

[Cristian Apas]

Well, I bought a 27W power supply that claims to have 5A at 5V and I still have the same problem, now I tried booting with Manjaro and it detects the NVMe always, now, as it uses kernel 6.9.x I don't have usb 3, nor Panfrost, I tried to install a kernel 6.1.75 without success. As we say in Argentina, "la sábana corta", you cover your feet or your head 🙂.

[ricardo_brz]

Just for the record: I also have an OPi5+ and I use the OPi power brick with an NVMe, in my case I have a Crucial P3 Plus 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD CT500P3PSSD8 and it works like a charm, no hickups or issues of any kind.

 

Maybe yours is not compatible with the board?

If you installed the kernel from the repository as apt install, then simply copy the required DTB file from the folder "/usr/lib/kernel-version"

to the folder "/boot/dtb-kernel-version/rockchip".
For some reason, the linux-dtb package for this kernel does not contain DTB files.
