NVME problems

[tophneal]

I do not know what causes this problem, but I know how to get out of it...or at least what works for me.  I do not remember where I got the SPI flash, but I have one that always wakes the drive up.  I suspect the problem is something with the way that the newer U-Boot loads the 660P that makes it get to an un-reachable state, but I can't figure out what causes it to be un-reachable  Maybe something to do with APST? Like I said, I don't really know.  The way I get out of it is boot to the SD card and flash one of the SPI flash's that preceeded the main-line U-Boot SPI flash.  PM me and I can get the file to you.

Is this the BSP uboot you mentioned? https://github.com/pcm720/rockchip-u-boot/releases

There is a difference between the BSP uboots and mainline concerning waking NVMe drives, that hasn't quite been figured out yet. I believe there are some looking to find that difference and implement it within mainline, but it hasn't been found yet.

I just grabbed the SPI u-boot file from that location (https://github.com/pcm720/rockchip-u-boot/releases), dd'ed it to the device and rebooted. The NVME get recognized  and my system is properly booting again.

Thanks a lot!

i would either use mrfixit2001 v2.0 (patched bsp) or pcm's 2020.07-1 (patched mainline) uboot:
