Nvme lost after uefi test

Hi,

I have working nvme as Nas on Armbian several month.

I tried to install Fedora and flashed Newest uefi edk2 as Test.

Now i have again flashed original Firmware and Newest Armbian and the nvme is lost, no entrys and failures in dmesg.

Greetings, Schuppeste

I’am Wondering, i’ve only changed the bootloader/SPL-File to UEFI and flashed the latest Back.

i used the nvme to backup Files in Openmediavault. All was Okay, i bought 2 Power Supplys before to use Nvme.

Now Ordered Original PD 60W by Allnet to test it as solution, its in shipping.

Use a dumb 12 volt >2.5A power supply.

No, in First time after i bought rock5b i use 25w QC 3.0 good quality Here in Germany (old Handy charger) , than i buy Samsung EVO 830 1tb nvme.

Then this not Work after 3 weeks i bought again a good quality 45w (Germany good standard) and it runs several month uses nvme in openmediavault until i flash uefi and then Back to original Bootloader.

Maybe it seems that any Thing has changed in U-Boot or the Kernel to determine the powersupply.

I wait now to Receiver the original Power supply. It Looks perhaps that the high current Modes in First 20w charger was damaged through nvme.

Thanks for answer.

Fair enough but none of these sound like they are dumb power supplies (maybe the 45W one?)

What I am observing is more and more topics where people report problems with their NVMEs after some update. This is quite concerning. I wouldn’t recommend using Radxa builds of linux for now.

My Original Allnet PowerSupply is arrived, it generates a Bootloop.

If i change Back to my older Standard PD PowerSupply, it Works, but without nvme.

No HDMI in Bootloop, simple 2 Seconds black Screen.

I think ive solved this problem… i’m ordered a emmc too.

i just install armbian on SD powered on old Power Supply, install armbian to emmc and the System Boots on new Power Supply.

i flashed my sdcards several Times complete new. Radxa and Armbian Firmware.

Hello incognito,

thank you for your hint. How can I connect a dumb 12 V x 2.5 A = 30 W power supply to the Rock 5b. Usually these USB-C plugs have some kind of chip or at least a resistor. Which dumb USB-C cable/adaptor should I buy? Is it save to power the Rock 5b with 12 Volts without any kind of negotiation? I don’t want to destroy it.

Regards
Heiko

Just use a recommend pd supply.

I dont know where is the hint, i used several 20-30€ Power supplys.

In First use My nvme Samsung evo was not detected anymore after 8 Weeks working. So i bought a new PD supply (No PD cable) and the nvme is again working.

In Second, i flashed a new Bootloader and Original Back,nvme was again Not detected. (Tested on 3 different Sd with fresh Install radxa and armbian)… Not working.

In Third, i bought the original pd supply and emmc. Nvme was Not detected in this Case with new flashed radxa and armbian Images in SD.

In fourth, i flashed armbian on emmc. And all 3 Power supply working with detected nvme.

In every step i used the Same Bootloader and Images since the second step. Flashed with Rufus and dd twice.

I dont know what ist that.

It’s completely fine to use a power supply without any negotiation. Rock 5B accepts anything up to 19V I think but I never tried power supplies above 12 volt. Just get a barrel to USB-C converter. Rock5 will then just recognize 12 volts and not do any negotiation.

Don’t be worried of fixed 12V. It just works. I use the 12V DC output from my monitor dedicated for powering the soundbar and the DIY barrel to USB-C adapter. Works without any issues. Both NVMe and EMMC installed and working.

I bought a dumb 12 V/30 W power supply and a barrel-to-USB C adapter on eBay. Model Chicony from DELL. My Rock 5b runs stable since then. The GPU doesn’t crash any more. The power hungry M.2-SSD works fine.
