Boot SSD NVME does not work

#1

Hi

I boot on Sdcard and then burn image on ssd
unzip -p a527_cubie_a5e_bullseye_beta_20250303.zip > /dev/nvme0n1
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk
mmcblk0 179:0 0 29.5G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 32M 0 part
├─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 16M 0 part
├─mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 64M 0 part

├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 64M 0 part
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 7.3G 0 part

Then increase size of p4:
parted -s -a opt /dev/nvme0n1 “resizepart 4 100%”
└─mmcblk0p4 179:4 0 7.3G 0 part /
nvme0n1 259:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 32M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 16M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 64M 0 part
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 931.4G 0 part

After a shutdown, i remove sdcard to start again.
But it does not boot on nvme

I dont think it can be directly boot from the nvme, you would have to flash the bootloader on the SPI-NOR Flash and have that boot the nvme. And the bootloader is missing NVMe Support anyways. Im working on it. A5E U-Boot with NVME Support
