Is that just a matter of kernel configuration?

VisionFive 2 Debian Image 202302 Released

Kernel needs to be somewhere not nvme, as u-boot still does not have pci-e support. For now, I load kernel from sd with root= pointing to nvme. It’s not a terrible solution. I could put the kernel at the end of the SPI, where there is enough storage, but I would still need the sd, as u-boot configuration is held there. There’s space reserved in SPI for u-boot env, but it is not being used currently. Using the sd as a clutch until pci-e support is in place seems to be the better solution for n…

I must have overlooked that:

It’s looking like NVMe isn’t showing up at all

It should at least be possible to create a partition and use the NVMe, if not as a boot drive, then at least after boot. If it is not displayed at all, either the power supply is too weak or there is a problem with the NVMe.
