Radxa M.2 E Key to SATA Board Tutorial not doable

#1

I want to make the M.2 E Key to SATA Board working in the installed latest Radxa official rock-5a_debian_bullseye_kde_b16 image. I do follow the tutorial here: https://docs.radxa.com/en/rock5/rock5b/accessories-guides/m2_ekey_sata.

But there is no /boot/config.txt file, only the /config/config.txt file. And there is no update_extlinux.sh script installed and I did not find any way, how to install it.

Please, could anybody provide here a correct way, how to make this thing working? Or even better, could Radxa update the tutorial to make it doable?

This is the tutorial for the Rock 5A:

The tutorial for 5B seems to be a little outdated. In any case, use rsetup to enable it and just reboot.

Thank you a lot, man. This is the correct tutorial!

Honestly, I wouldn’t expect to find the correct tutorial for 5B in the 5A documentation…

Dear Radxa, please keep the 5B documentation updated and stop wasting the time of users of your great piece of HW! Thank you.

I think it is not that wrong: rsetup is for the Radxa Debian images. The /boot/config.txt & update_extlinux.sh seems to be for the Ubuntu images. However, I found that this is not always clearly communicated. So, the procedure for both boards is the same (well, the loaded overlays are different), but the 5A version describes the Debian way, the 5B version the Ubuntu way …
