NVMe not recognized on OrangePi 5 Pro with Armbian

I just installed Armbian for the first time.  

I tried the Trixie-current-minimal at first, but that didn't want to start for whatever reason.  

Should I try installing an Ubuntu one?  

 

I'm clueless.  

 

[edit]

I managed to get Trixie-current-minimal working. Same issue.

I see several time the following log line:

 

rk-pcie fe180000.pcie: PCIe Linking... LTSSM is 0x2

 

I do not know what it means, but the fact that is is listed quite often is a hint I would say. There is also an earlier failure w.r.t. PCIE

Usually is it power of some incompatibility of the NVME SSD in conjunction with the RK3588 based board. OrangePi5 Pro has questionable device-tree support, that is what I remember. It might be better nowadays, but I guess you will need to try an see if you can get any OS working/recognizing the SSD.

I've tried Ubuntu-gnome.  

Still no SSD recognition.  

[eselarm]

ubuntu nor gnome is not relevant

 

what matters is u-boot and kernel (and powersupply and type of nvme ssd )

 

u-boot logs can be seen via serial console cable

Power supply: WNB-0504000 5V 4A 20W USB-C.

SSD: Intenso Top Performance M.2 128GB SATA-600

 

I'm gonna buy a new power supply.  

Looks like I'm needing a 5A one.

This is not NVME, but SATA. No surprise it does not work.

 

It might be that the M.2 slot of the OPi5pro is such that with an overlay, you could map SATA signals to that slot and then it should work. Look in rockchip overlays folder for any .dtbo file with name like

*rk3588*sata*

But you should check HW circuit diagram maybe first, might also be that this is only for the normal OPi5

 

Maybe search a bit, I found 

Is old topic, but the principles are still the same.
