How to burn image to NVMe disk?

We provide two ways to burning image to the NVMe disk.

• Method 1: Using a USB disk reader/writer Uisng this method, you need a disk reader such as the below image shown. Just put the NVME disk to your USB disk reader and connect the USB disk reader to your PC. Then using the RPI imager to install Raspberry Pi OS.

  

• Method 2: Using the RPI directly Please refer to Enable NVMe chapter to enable the NVMe driver firstly.

  • 2.1. Check if the SSD controller exist.
    
  • 2.2. Using the rpi-imager burning image to the NVMe disk
  

Note: Please ensure the image has been burned to the MVNe before doing the following operations.

• Updating your Pi

  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

• Enabling NVMe

2. Change the BOOT_ORDER line to the following:BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
3. Add PCIE_PROBE to enumerate over the PCIe bus: PCIE_PROBE=1
4. Press Ctrl-O, then enter, to write the change to the file.
