did you make it work?
Rock 3A NVME boot
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

Is the docs still supposed to work ? https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock3/install/spi
I follow the steps and it seems to work fine, I can see the u-boot change from the serial console but nvme drive not detected, I test two different one, a kingspec and a kingston using the u-boot images provided in the docs).
Someone get this work recently ?

### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
# Reset the board to bootrom #
(I can get the nvme drive working if I boot from the sdcard, and configure the mount options, so I suppose only u-boot is not detecting my nvme, did it need some specific nvme drive ?)
Boot from sd card and test Your nvme - some are problematic, don’t show up, or cause problems on read/write operations. If it don’t show up in system then it won’t boot from it either.
If it’s ok then You need right u-boot and system installation, armbian prepares some easy scripts to move system to nvme and boot from it, but they also don’t work at 100% and for every distro (ubuntu is probably more tested than debian). Anything You decide to try - that should give You idea if booting is possible.
Then try same thing with You choice of OS. You will need u-boot with nvme support in spi, and this may be different for selected OS. For some errors You can boot from u-boot console and then put them in startup script, but it’s just easier to find right u-boot.
I’ve got my two rock 3A booting from nvme somewhere about end of year.
Hello, yes I tried Armbian, followed the same steps, same result. I managed to configure it by using a mix of the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file and my fstab to have a complete “boot” from the NVMe storage. But without the SD card, the board doesn’t start. I suppose that u-boot is looking for the boot partition on the SD card and once the kernel is launched, it switches to the NVMe… I don’t know how to boot from the u-boot console to try commands, as I have never worked with u-boot before.
Have You tried armbian - ubuntu or debian?
Have You tried with armbian installation script? It should update spi with right values, at least with ubuntu.
did nvme show up in system and was stable on i/o? with no errors on dmesg?
Ubuntu one. With the installation script.
But even after that the board doesn’t boot from nvme directly (SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices).
At this time I run on the nvme drive (modifying fstab and armbianEnv.txt) and it is stable, I mean no issue from the drive and nothing related with dmesg but I need to keep the original sdcard inside the board 
. This is why I suspect the problem only come from the u-boot configuration
(from my post on armbian forum)

My NVMe is connected in a RK3399 RADXA ROCK Pi 4 development board dedicated V1.6 version M.2 extended version steering board.
In order to boot from the NVMe, I downloaded the latest Armbian Bookworm Current Minimal and wrote it on an SD card using Balena.
For some reason, I cannot get anything on the HDMI port so I used this UART-USB Adapter.
After connecting to the console via minicom, I downloaded the above image and then wrote it to the NVMe using dd
dd if=Armbian_23.5.1_Rock-3a_bookworm_current_6.1.30_minimal.img of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M
Then I ran “armbian-install” and selected option 7: “Install/Update the bootloader on MDT Flash”.
Shutdown the rock, remove the SD card, and it boots from the NVMe.
Here is my output for “lsblk” and “df”:
