Pinebook Pro NVME support? #19

Open DrakkenWolfgang opened 1 year ago

DrakkenWolfgang commented 1 year ago

Is there support for using NVME with the internal Pinebook Pro NVME adapter? Trying to get R-Cade/ Kodi to detect drive as storage with no success. If not, is eventual support being planned in a future release?

Are you trying to boot your PBP with RCade as the OS on the NVME? or are you just trying to put your games on the NVME drive and treat it like external storage?

RCade should support booting off the NVME drive, but I don't have one to test with. I'd love more information about any tests you've done.

I've tried using NVME as R-Cade OS boot storage... did not work at all. It did try to boot, but yeilded a splash screen stating it could not start (i believe it was because of not being able to find the bootlodaer - in my case Tow-boot installed to PBP SPI).

Installing R-Cade to emmc or SD card works, but neither way can detect the NVME as storage, using the internal PBP NVME adapter. I had formatted NVME to EXT4 & was essentially ready to be used. It does detect it if i use it with a USB adapter, just not with the internal NVME adapter.
