Hi Luca, I’m trying to do exactly what you’ve done but my NVMe is just not recognised during the initial U-boot execution. The nvme scan and nvme info appear to do nothing. I have tested the NVMe card in another machine so I know it’s working.

What does your initial boot look like?

What kind of nvme are you trying to use? Both samsung, crucial and sabrent work fine on the system. As silly it sounds: is that a m.2 nvme or sata?

So I was using a Western Digital WD Blue SN550 M.2 nvme which I tested in a different machine and was definitely working but would not work at all in my Honeycomb. In fact I have two of these WD devices and neither would work in the Honeycomb.

However, I also have a Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 nvme which works in the Honeycomb. First time, out of the box just worked.

So I guess there some weird incompatibility at work?

I do not have experience with WD, I happened to have a spare nvme from samsung and crucial and I bought the sabrent one specifically for the honeycomb.
