Thanks for the link... I'll be sure to follow your progress I'm getting some PCI-e test cards so I can check the PCI-e ports, and can hopefully get the NVM card running once the drive arrives. I'm surprised that just plugging in the SATA card with no drives attached didn't work (get detected) for me though... although from your notes it seems like there is a fault? Since AFAIK this hasn't been documented as a possible known issue on the forum yet (as it should have been by now), I'm assuming from the #rock64 IRC chat history from the 27/28th of May 2018 that removal of the resistor indicated in this picture is the solution to my problem with a pre-production rockpro64? https://app.box.com/s/wghe5gu40dliaz2014g1rj28i2j164bv If so, looks easy enough, will warm up the soldering iron and do some surgery
