I just got the NVMe base for the Raspberry Pi 5 (Pimoroni PIM699), and I must say the circuit board quality is impressive! Promising start. 🙂
To my project:
I slotted a Micron 256GB NVMe (Gen3, 4x) into the base board, attached the base board to the RPi5, and the Pi recognizes it. I used Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit and then used the imager to install Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit on my disk.
However, when I try to boot from it, I get a message that it fails to boot from NVMe, with options to hold shift for network boot or press escape.
The NVMe I'm using is an MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA from Micron Technology Inc.

Has anyone encountered similar issues or have any advice?
Edit: I see now that the disk is not on the list of supported disks on the Pimoroni website. Is it still possible to make this work?
