Hey Benny!

It needs work but I managed to boot it from a micro-SD. I plan to try installing from there to the nvme.

This might be of interest;

Hey Benny!

Managed to get armbian booting from nvme, gory details below;

The Samsung was a good investment. Now to get this working with a more LFS-like build just like mom used to make.

Life is good,
