VIM3 Pro + M2X Extender Board + SSD

Booting from 128GB USB stick is 100% OK from my experience (both 3.0 and 2.0 port).
So i think 256GB/512GB USB stick possibly similar.
Now on the market, the high end large size USB stick has similar performance as SSD, which is far more to meet digital AV/HIFI use.

I think specific configuration for uboot has to be made to make it work.

Do you think booting from SSD will be faster than EMMC? When I can, I always try to run operating system from EMMC.

I’d like to know how too.

Hello, did you guys found the way to do it?

yes me too, i have M.2 SSD extneder board with samsung 960pro
i want to boot it from there

will there one day a special case built for this complete VIM ?

a Case that houses the VIM3Pro+M2X Extenderboard?
I will buy instantly … please KHADAS make a case for this beauty

I also cant work out how to boot from the M.2 slot - cant seem to get the POE Nic seen also although its happily powering the system

what is your current OS?

Current os is ubuntu 4.9
Thanks @Vladimir.v.v

Check the connection pins on the SSD board

Everything is seated fine, only see one physical interface and the wifi.
Is there a special module or kernel option that needs to be enabled.

I have an EVO NVMe but to be honest its the second 10/100 nic i need, i can await getting the NVMe online.

accidentally not USB 3.0?
exclude USB3.0 to check your nvme

its in pcie mode so should be USB2

@Vladimir.v.v any idea with the POE Nic?
I don’t really care which Linux OS i use (as long as its linux :slight_smile: ) but i need the m.2 and POE Nic working
