Pro NVMe adapter Does not fit ! ?

[bcnaz]

I will look farther into this,  but at the moment I can only suppose the adapter kits have been "updated".

The main reason I wanted this fast drive originally was because I thought I could "boot" from it.
Since it is not currently possible to boot from this drive,
 it is not very important to have a super fast storage drive, when the boot drive is so slow.
Hopefully  it "May" be possible someday.

oh ... I didn't know that we cannot boot from it.
I suppose uboot doesnt have the required driver, and we have to write/port it.
Thank you for this info

It's not possible out of the box, but the proposed workaround of putting the boot partition on the eMMC and the rest on the SSD is fairly easy. So definitely worth to do it if you want a faster boot.
For example: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4971
This applies to the RockPro64, but is (almost) identical for the PBP.

thank you. Will check that

     The main idea when I started this 'thread'  was the physical installation of the M.2 NVMe adapter and drive.
The Pine people have done their homework and resolved this problem..

As far as using this for a boot drive,  there are possibilities of doing a 'work-around'  that are already being discussed.

There are discussions on writing/building a mainline boot system...
My understanding is the existing 'uboot'  needs to be modified.   Something to do with the PCIe  ???

Manipulating or modifying the 'uboot' is far above what I can do myself,  so I will wait until there is a 'mainline' method to utilize the
PCIe/NVMe  drive.

There are some much smarter persons discussing this 'uboot' in other posts.
