So I have a 4b rev 1.4 board that I purchased last Sunday, and I’m currently trying to get the AGAMMIXS11P-512GT-C to work on it via the NVMe PCI-E port.
I am unable to see the drive at all via lsblk, fdisk or any other method I’ve been able to find. This is using the same sm2262en controller as the AGAMMIXS11P-256GT-C that is listed as working under linux kernal in the FAQ.
I have confirmed that my NVMe stick is working as I can see it once I use a NVMe to usb 3.1 type A adapter. I was able to see it in recalbox and in windows on my main machine using the usb adapter. I’ve tried formatting it in exfat4. I am also fairly confident the nvme slot is working on the Rock Pi as when I loaded it up with the recalbox image it prevented debian and recalbox from booting via the eMMC flash. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I noticed some others having somewhat similar issues with Samsung SSDs. Should I pick up another NVMe? I bought this one because of the reasons I posted above and because it was the cheapest & fastest NVMe with onboard DRAM.
I’m actually less concerned about booting from NVMe and more wanting to have it available as on board storage. So I can return this possibly and try another SSD, but I’d prefer something higher quality with DRAM cache.
At this point I’d be willing to buy any 500GB non-HMB NVMe SSD with a DRAM cache. That is known to work out of the box and is < $100 USD on Amazon. This would be for use in Recalbox, booting would be a plus but I’d take working at this point. Can anyone confirm if Western Digital WD Black 500GB M.2 2280 model WDS500G2X0C is working on Recalbox?
