Well, I took my Intel 660p to my brother's house and put it in his windows box and it was working, firmware updated, and showing nothing wrong. When I dropped it back in my Pinebook Pro...nothing. So I decided to investigate some and completely took out the main board of the PBP. After reassembling I booted and the NMVe was there! Drove back home and the NVMe is no longer listed as a drive. Any idea what's going on? So, I now know, it's not the NVME's fault. I guess next I buy a new adapter or cable? If that doesn't work, then what? Main board? 
I've got an UART adapter on the way, so maybe I can tell what's up in the boot sequence. I get the impression that something is not initializing correctly. The last major change I made was to go to PCM720's spiflash.bin on the spi to try to get boot happening directly from the NVMe. After all this I'm considering going to U-Boot on EMMC and system on NVME.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. Thanks!
