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. https://www.digikey.no/en/products/detail/micron-technology-inc/MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA/10320942 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?
