Hi all,

 

Testing this OP5, got a standard M2 NVMe SSD (this works on my OP5Plus)

 

I have formatted to exFAT with windows, inserted on the OP5, loaded ArmbianOS on MicroSD, it boots fine but I cant get it to show the nvme drive using fdisk -l  or lsblk

 

It seem like its not detecting the m2 nvme ssd at all..

 

little help please ?

which image did you write to the SD-card ?

Armbian_24.5.2_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.43_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img

and tested a few older legacy jammys... same result.

Try this one which has updated rockchip sdk kernel and check if nvme is visible: https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/25.2.0-trunk.299/Armbian_25.2.0-trunk.299_Orangepi5_trixie_vendor_6.1.84_minimal.img.xz

tried it still unable to see NVMe SSD....

 

I did notice these two lines when i did armbian-upgrade

Would you mind sharing logs as described below?

 

Providing logs with

 

PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u

 

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

 

 

Hi Werner,

 

Here you go, that is very smart way of collecting logs. 
https://paste.armbian.de/upuyozujik

 

Btw, the NVMe SSD was tested with windows formatted with GPT NTFS and exFAT, both same result.. OP5 unable to detect it. its Gen3 SSD, pretty sure OP5 is Gen2 but its not the issue here right ?

I just installed an NVME and transferred image using armbian-install and all is working/detected fine.

 

I purchased this:  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BVQXGS3D

 

I was using image the default from the download page:

 

Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.75_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz

 

I've found with several threads about NVME issues that the one being tried can be the cause of the issue.  Don't know why.

 

Which NVME are you using?

I don't know why it is working but you can edit the armbianEnv.txt and add 

overlays=ssd-sata

then reboot.

 

The OS will recognize the NVME disk

That is weird; 'ssd-sata' is not nvme. And it is a rk3588s, so which multiPHY is then put in SATA mode? Not the one operating (connected to) the NVMe device one would assume. I do not know HW architecture of OPi5, maybe you lost USB3 function now?

 

And where did you get that overlay from? I don't see it:

/usr/lib/linux-image-6.1.99-vendor-rk35xx# find . -name "*sata*"
./rockchip/overlay/mixtile-blade3-sata2.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/orangepi-5-plus-sata2.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/orangepi-5-sata.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/radxa-cm5-io-sata.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/rk3566-roc-pc-sata2.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/rk3588s-roc-pc-sata0.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/rock-3a-sata.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/rock-5a-sata.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-sata.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/turing-rk1-sata2.dtbo
./rockchip/overlay/yy3568-sata2.dtbo

Or is it renamed 'orangepi-5-sata' ?

Are you sure it is actually loaded?

Hi @BOFFBOY,

have you managed  to make it work? 

Having similar issue : tried with two different orange pi 5 , two different nvme SSDs, three different Power supplies up to 5V/5A and three armbian kernels: 5.10 | 6.1 and 6.18

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

I started to have similar issue with recent rolling release (after 26.2.1) mainline kernels: 6.18.2x, 7.0.x, 7.1.0-rc.

 

https://paste.armbian.com/yobewudugo 

 

The log seems having all previous boot logs of this board and 6.18.10, 6.18.8 and 6.1.115 can enumerate NVMe SSD but others can't.

 

I did a PCI rescan with 7.1.0-rc2 after booting the board and NVMe SSD was found and corresponding kernel log can be found in the 1st kernel log. I have Armbian image on SD card, btw.

sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan"
