Orange PI boot from NVME & Connect to wifi

Table

First, burn an image on the sd card. Then you can just boot and do the following to update the orange pi firmware, so that you can boot from the NVME

Update your packages and the orangepi-config, sometimes when you try to run the config binary it doesn't work out of the box

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Update the firmware with orangepi-config

sudo orangepi-config

Remove any partition from the NVME

sudo gdisk /dev/nvme0n1

Clone the files from your SD Card (optional)

cat /dev/mmcblk1 > /dev/nvme0n1

It takes about an hour, but if you have a way to burn the image into your NVME/SSD it'd be a better option

Check the NVME partition to fix a couple errors and then you can just reboot

sudo fsck -yf /dev/nvme0n1p2
sudo fsck -yf /dev/nvme0n1p1

After rebooting, you can resize your NVME

sudo /usr/lib/orangepi/orangepi-resize-filesystem start

You can also test the performance by running the following

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRemote/PiBenchmarks/master/Storage.sh | sudo bash

Well if you're using a Zero I'd recommend finding a usb-c to usb-c/usb cable to connect a keyboard, so that you can do the following steps.

This one is very straightforward, all the you need to do is run the following:

nmtui

The following will show the list of available wifis to connect

sudo nmcli device wifi list

To connect to one of the available wifis you need to

sudo nmcli device wifi connect 'wifi-name' password 'wifi-password' ifname wlan0

Then you can check your wifi

ip -br address show dev wlan0
