No M.2 disk on NanoPC-T4

[OpfabusEyd]

Hi!

I am using the latest firmware on a NanoPC-T4 and I can't get the M.2 disk to work. "cat /proc/partitions" or "lsblk" doesn't list the disk.

There seems to be a boot problem with the latest firmware, as I have older boards that work as expected:

Is this a hardware failure or just a software problem?

What kind of m.2 are you using? There are 3 kinds, sata, ahci and nvme. Only m-key nvme will work as there is no sata interface on the rk3399 or wired to the m.2 connector.

nvme cost more too (yay) but that's the first thing to check.

hope this helps.

Yes, you are right. I was not aware that there a couple of different types.
