The PBP has a power issue with the NVMe adapter it can reliably supply 2.5W continuous and 8.25W peak momentary. When you were copying the installation to the NVMe and got the panic message, it may well have been caused by the power draw. It may be possible to work around it by setting/restricting it to a lower power state.
From the Sabrent site, information in the table at the bottom of the page:
https://www.sabrent.com/product/SB-ROCKE...escription
For power limitations see:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...Me_adapter
For how to use the nvme-cli package and nvme command see:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...Me_adapter
The second section of the wiki contains a link to the NVMe compatability listing.
The nvme command will show you the power usage in each power state.
The cp command that you used was ok.
If you can look at the above wiki sections, read the manual for the nvme command then try to fetch the power states that would be useful info for us to see. Then we can help you to make some sort of judgement about changing the power state before trying the copy again. In the end, it would be good to update the compatibility listing with your drive (it's not there at the moment) with a good/bad and what steps were needed. But first things first, let's see a listing of the power states please.
Okay I will try to procure the nvme power status as soon as I get the chance, thanks!
