Any news on nvme direct boot?
Alternatively, can you suggest me some guide to follow to move the system to nvme?

You can install u-boot into the spi flash refering to this guide: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock3/install/spi

Thanks, it worked (using windows).
Notes:
As stated by the Spi flash page, usb-a to usb-c cable didn’t worked for me. I grab the infamous old cables box, cut two old broken mouses usb cables, joined them together without too much effort (no soldering, just splice, twist and electrical tape insulation) and it worked.
I added jumper like in the picture,
sudo snap connect rkdeveloptool:raw-usb
rkdeveloptool ld DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x350a,LocationID=104 Maskrom
rkdeveloptool db rk356x_spl_loader_ddr1056_v1.10.111.bin Downloading bootloader succeeded.
rkdeveloptool wl 0 spi_image_20220210.img
Write LBA failed!
any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

You should remove the jumper after entering maskrom mode because that jumper is added to disable spi flash so that you can get into maskrom mode.

Remove the jumper then:

that did the trick thanks for the help!
I still need to have the SD card in the slot in order to boot from the nvme… Is anyone confirming otherwise?
I’ve installed according to that guide but still need an SD card inserted to boot from nvme.
I can’t reproduce it.

I installed u-boot on multiple 3a boards and can start using nvme only.
Maybe your nvme is not bootable by itself?
else maybe post the output from each step?
Hi Dominik,
as I am new to the RockPi-3A (1.31) and also trying to get an NVMe running, I would very much appreciate if you could share a detailed description to how to get the NVMe working.
So far, I have a well running Ubuntu “Linux rock-3a 4.19.193-51-rockchip-gb2c01b3d79f2” running which is booting from a uSD card.
After snapping in a Kingston NVMe 500G I can do
sudo parted -l
… which gives me …
Error: /dev/nvme0n1: unrecognised disk label
Model: KINGSTON SNVS500G (nvme)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
[…]
Looks like it’s already up and ready to be formatted.
What I now struggle with is what @jack replied to your post in Oct’21. This stuff seems to be related to this URL: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock3/install/spi, right?
Can I apply that stuff to get my RockPi to boot from NVMe?
How do I have to wire the cable (also wiring the +5Vcc or only GND, D+ and D-) ?
I would be very thankful for further advice here 
Hans
You need to install u-boot to spi to be able to boot from nvme only, just follow steps from wiki and burn image directly to nvme via USB on different computer (like for SD card).
Also You should be able to start boot from small sd card and then from nvme (that don’t require spi installation)
What cables You want to connect? UART? this is also described on wiki but not every uart module works (also after update my uart module break boot process)
Good luck
did you make it work?
I managed to install u-boot on spi as below
but I still can’t boot from nvme, actually the blue LED turns on after a couple of seconds and stays on.
I can boot from micro SD and nvme disk is listed in lsblk
You need to have right version of u-boot, sometimes different for other distro
If You have UART then it’s easier to check what is going on console.
Coming back here after some months.
In the end, after my previous tentative (may 2022), where i got to flash spi and successfully boot to nvme, i put the board back in the box because i never got it working stable.
The board hanged after a couple of days with “PCIe link fail” or something like this.
After investigations, the kingston nvme was faulty (was not working correctly under windows either, after some time windows was hanging too).
Today i retried with a brand new samsung 870EVO, flashedwith the latest ubuntu available now.
This time i didn’g get it even to get to the nvme, it hangs with “PCIe link fail”, and a prompt to initramfs sohows up.
Powering it using a 12V 4A power supply soldered to a usb-c connector.
I don’t want to say it but i’m starting to get a little bit disappointed.
Any suggestion/reference on how to fix the pcie stuff?
Not every nvme is supported and that depends on SoC. I had similar issues with Rock5b with HP EX900 when it was working perfectly with Rock3A and Rock4C. Easiest way to solve that issue is to swap nvme to something different, I don’t expect that SOC will be updated to handle more drives soon, maybe for RK3588.
I cant boot from NVME.
I compiled U-boot for rock 3a from the latest source and flashed that to my device and it is unable to boot the latest ubuntu image.
If I keep the sd card in, it will boot from SD card but use the nvme as root fs, so the device has no problems accessing the nvme. As you can see below, the board has booted from sdcard with nvme as root fs
