KingSpec 128GB M.2 NVMe not found Debian+Ubuntu

Not sure I would advise to buy the tested NVME’s. 2 of three failed.

what brand and models have you tried? Could you list here, it might helps others.

Sorry I was not clear. I was referring to the ones you guys tested. 2 of your 3 failed to perform correctly.
I am interested in using NVMe on the RockPi4B.

  1. Can we boot from it?
  2. If we cant boot from it can you provide instructions to create a boot mSD or EMMC and have the file system on the NVMe?
  3. Is there some type of HAT or adapter board to secure it in place?

I meant the ones that are tested and found ok. But the KingSpec is still in the list.

- Known working -

  • Samsung EVO series( M key, NVMe ), work well on ROCK Pi 4, fast speed
  • KingSpec NVMe M.2 2280( M key, NVMe ), works well
  • MaxMemory NVMe M.2 128G( B&M key, NVMe ), works well

- Known not working -

  • HP EX900( B&M Key, NVMe ), detection failed on ROCK Pi 4, works with PC.

I tried the KingSpec128GB in Armbian and also no luck.

@TheDude Q3 :
“We have made a M.2 extended board to put the M.2 SSD on top of ROCK Pi4. It looks like this. See picture here and here.”

Thanks. I knew I saw something like that somewhere.
Allnet China is out of stock and the austria & german sites wont let me register to purchase.
I was also looking at that big heatsink too but its also out of stock. Where else can I purchase?

The big heatsink will start shipping after next Wednesday.

I bay GoodRAM 120GB m2 2280 and on Armbian image not working. Is m2 included in armbans kernel?

Samsung EVO 970 NVME M.2 250GB installed and seems to be working good. $77 delivered.

By default, the nvme is running at gen1 mode for compatibility, so the speed is limited. You can enabled gen2 mode by decompile and recompile the device tree:

fdtdump rockpi-4b-linux.dtb  > /tmp/rockpi4.dts

Find pcie@f8000000 section

change from

max-link-speed = <0x00000001>;

to

max-link-speed = <0x00000002>;

Now recompile the dtb:

dtc -I dts -O dtb /tmp/rockpi4.dts -o /tmp/rockpi4.dtb

Replace the original rockpi-4b-linux.dtb(backup it first), reboot.

Thanks Jack

Thats a pretty big increase.

Hi @jack
witch one do i decompile, I found 4 files.
/usr/lib/linux-image-4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb
/media/rock/ubt-bionic/usr/lib/linux-image-4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb
/boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb
/boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb.dpkg-tmp

Thanks
Pierre

I guess this is the one:

This should be a backup from a previous version that was created before an update:

I have created a script to Do this. Mayby we can Put Together a serier of them and create a RocKpiConfig(A want to be raspiconfig) Please feel free to Improve the script. It Need Some Love.

#!/bin/bash
#By default, the nvme is running at gen1 mode for compatibility, so the speed is limited.
#You can enabled gen2 mode by decompile and recompile the device tree:

sudo cp -p /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb.bak
sudo fdtdump /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb > /tmp/rockpi4.dts
sudo sed -i ‘s/max-link-speed = <0x00000001>;/max-link-speed = <0x00000002>;/g’ /tmp/rockpi4.dts

#Find pcie@f8000000 section

#change from

#max-link-speed = <0x00000001>;

#to

#max-link-speed = <0x00000002>;

#Now recompile the dtb:

sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb /tmp/rockpi4.dts -o /tmp/rockpi4.dtb
sudo mv /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb.tmp
sudo cp /tmp/rockpi4.dtb /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb
ls -l /boot/dtbs/4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14/rockchip/rockpi-4b-linux.dtb
#Replace the original rockpi-4b-linux.dtb(backup it first), reboot.

What NVMe SSDs are recommended?
I think I’m going to order the large heatsink and the SSD extender (I should have ordered them when I got my rock pi4b but I wanted to test the SBC out a bit first)
Is there a list where I can see which ones are compatible, I don’t want to order one that isn’t compatible.

I’m using a Samsung MZ-V7S250BW SSD 970 EVO Plus 250 GB M.2 Internal NVMe SSD, for about 85,- Euro and I’m satisfied with it.

FAQs: What M.2 SSD are supported?

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind when i shop for one :):grinning:

Update:

Now we have a hw_config to set the pcie gen2 mode. Uncomment to enable PCIE gen2 mode. Update the rockpi4-dtbo package to 0.7 or later.

# PCIE running on GEN2 mode
intfc:dtoverlay=pcie-gen2

Here is my modified Pierre’s script working on Armbian

Hi,

how can I use this? On my system there is no hw_intfc.config. I followed the tutorials for updating u-boot etc. but it did not help (https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/radxa-apt)

Performance for NVME (970EVO) is unchanged and bad:

sudo hdparm -Tt --direct /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 534 MB in 2.01 seconds = 266.22 MB/sec
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 800 MB in 3.00 seconds = 266.34 MB/sec

Any ideas?

Carsten

Pretty sure if you did follow the you would have hw_intfc.config
either the above and edit the dts or go through https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/radxa-apt more methodically.

But what system (linux) are you using?
