Hi,
I got my Board booting via SDCard. Now I want to boot form NVME.
First I tried to use armbian-config’s tool to install on NVME, but it would not boot.
Then I followed the official documentation and installed the Official Image to NVME via en enclosure M2 writer, but still no luck.
Here is the UART Output. Might it be, that the M2.Card is not compatible?
