It is documented there: So when booted from SD you need to copy over the u-boot image to SD card and do from there: dd if=cubie_a5e_spi_nor_raw_050624.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 But that won't you get NVMe support on Armbian as Cubie A5E NVMe support just isn't in the kernel, not even the dev version.

Just flashed an u-bbot version from here which does support NVMe...well at least it recognizes the SSD (o; https://github.com/cubie-image/sun55iw3p1/releases => pci enum Speed change timeout PCIe speed of Gen1 => nvme scan feng >>>> debug <<<<< nvme_probe => nvme device IDE device 0: Vendor: 0x1dee Rev: 1.4.7.70 Prod: 2510194702629 Type: Hard Disk Capacity: 488386.3 MB = 476.9 GB (1000215216 x 512)

Nope..though nvme kernel modules are present in the file system but doing nothing when loading, not even a dmesg output. Besides...u-boot version from the SD image has also no NVMe support...
