Rock 5 Model B Unable to boot from M.2 NVMe

[sanjeevrkrk]

Hi
I flashed my M.2 NVME with the following images and is booting from NVMe:

1. rock-5b-debian11-gnome-wayland-arm64-20220624-1200-gpt.img.xz
2. rock-5b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20221031-1558-gpt.img.xz

No issues in booting and is very fast.

But, when I tried to flash the M.2 NVMe with non-GPT images, it is not booting from NVM.2.

Is it possible to get GPT version of “rock-5b_debian_bullseye_kde_b33.img.xz” or how to flash M.2 using this image and make it boot from M.2.

Help is much appreciated.

Build 33 installed on NVMe not working

Enter the system normally when you turn it on for the first time. But after restarting, I can’t enter the system anymore. Environment: rock-5b-spi-image-g3caf61a44c2-debug.img rock-5b_debian_bullseye_kde_b33.img.xz NVMe: Transcend TS256GMTE110S 256.0 GB and Kingston A2000 NVMe SSD 500G PS: Using rock-5b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20221031-1558-gpt.img.xz is no problem. See the console log as follows: DDR Version V1.08 20220617 DDR Version V1.08 20220617 LPDDR4X, 2112MHz channel[0…

There’s another thread basically asking the same question, looks like flashing the armbian SPI image should allow you to boot it.

The output from UART would help you get an answer that is useful in your case.

Thank you Biasio, I will try to flash Armbian SPI and let you know.

Eric, I am unable to login/boot the system. Can you let me know how can I get the UART output.
