Why can't my Raspberry Pi 5 detect or boot from the NVMe SSD?

After several major version updates, the bootloader has basically solved the firmware issue, so the remaining is the OS configuration and SSD compatibility issues.

What is the maximum supported NVMe SSD capacity for the X1002?

The X1002 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.

Can they support Gen3 PCIe speeds or only Gen2?

All PIP boards (e.g., X1001, X1002, X1003) just extend the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe interface. PCIe Gen 3 support depends on both the Raspberry Pi 5 and the chip on the PIP board. Models such as X1004, X1011, and X1005 do not support Gen 3 speed.

Why is the SSD recognized but not bootable?

A: The method of flashing OS to NVME SSD may be problematic. B: The SSD used may be incompatible. Please replace it with other brand SSD.
