Rock Pi 4B boot from NVMe

Hello,
I once picked you out something on the subject.

Question about booting from nvme drive

Hi, Mik The short answer is not directly as you said but you can benefit the fast NVMe speed. Because RK3399 can not boot directly from NVMe. It can boot from SPI/eMMC/SD directly. There must be a bootloader in SPI/eMMC/SD to load boot images from NVMe. Currently the rk3399 u-boot doesn’t have NVMe driver, so we have to wait the kernel boot to use NVMe. You can put the rootfs in NVMe and bootloader and kernel in SPI/eMMC/SD. So to use the fast NVMe, you can put the whole rootfs in NVMe and h…

Capable of booting off USB or M.2 in the future?

Ethernet and PXE booting is tested on mainline u-boot, on current Rockchip u-boot 2017, it’s broken. We are moving to the mainline u-boot now. There are some features we want to port to mainline u-boot. We also implemented the NVMe driver on the mainline u-boot now. It works now booting NVMe from u-boot, which is not yet implemented on any other rk3399 boards. If you can wait, please wait for our update, or you can build the mainline u-boot now, with the rk3399-evb config and dtb, it works on …
