Orange Pi 5 Max SD card booting issue, system normally starts from NVME SSD

[alarik]

Hi.

I've got a strange issue. When Orange Pi 5 Max was unavailable I installed version for Orange Pi 5 Pro from SD card to NVME SSD. It worked fine Now I decided for fresh install of Armbian dedicated to Max board but I can't boot from SD card.

 

I used exactly the same card and the same power supply as when I installed armbian originally, but when I insert SD card, led goes blue and system is not booting. I don't have any signal on HDMI - monitor goes sleep. When I remove SD card - system boots from SSD and all is working. I removed SSD but system still can't boot from SD card.

 

Do you know any method to boot from SD card or install armbian image in other way? For now I'm considering buying nvme usb case and clonning img directly to ssd but I'd like to avoid that as I don't know if that will work.
