Hello community,

is it possible to attach an for example M.2 SSD to the PCIe (NVMe) Lanes from the LS1088A / 46A.

Or does it works only with SATA ?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Juergen

From the hardware point of view, NVMe SSD drive is just a PCIe device, we have PCIe interface in our processors, this is enough to support NVMe from the hardware side.

From the software side - there is a standard Linux kernel driver for nvme. It is not specific to NXP or ARM. Just enable the driver. Search for nvme in make menuconfig.


Have a great day,
