Install & Test NVMe SSD on Waveshare PoE M 2 HAT+ Raspberry Pi 5 Boot Setup
In this video, we take a deep dive into installing and testing an EVM 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD on the Waveshare PoE M.2 HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5. Building on the success of our first video, where we tested the PoE functionality, this continuation covers everything from unboxing to enabling the PCIe port, flashing Raspberry Pi OS onto the NVMe SSD, configuring the bootloader, and testing the entire setup. ✨ Highlights include: ✅ Mounting and setup of the NVMe SSD ✅ Enabling PCIe for external SSDs ✅ Flashing and booting Raspberry Pi OS from the SSD ✅ Testing and performance insights Follow this step-by-step guide to boost your Raspberry Pi 5 performance with NVMe storage and explore the advanced features of the Waveshare HAT+. _____________________________________________________ 📌 Codes Used in This Video: **Enable the external PCI Express port -Edit the configuration file: Command: sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt -Add the following line to the bottom of the file: dtparam=pciex1 Save and exit by pressing Ctrl+O, then Enter, and Ctrl+X. **Set NVMe early in the boot order -Edit the EEPROM configuration: Command: sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit -Update the BOOT_ORDER line to the following: BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 If using a non-HAT+ adapter, also add the following line to the bottom of the file: PCIE_PROBE=1 -Save the changes and exit, then reboot: sudo reboot _____________________________________________________ 🎥 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:59 Unboxing & Mounting SSD 02:16 Enabling PCIe Slot 03:10 Flashing NVMe SSD 04:31 Configuring Boot Order 05:17 Testing & Conclusion 📌 Purchase Links: 🔗 Raspberry Pi 5 8GB RAM, SBC, Raspberry Pi5 8GB: https://amzn.to/40PzDB8 🔗 NVMe M.2 Enclosure: https://amzn.to/3VJI53s 🔗 EVM 256GB M.2 NVMe (2230) Internal SSD: https://amzn.to/4gtBguU 🔗 PCIe to M.2 Adapter with PoE Function for Raspberry Pi 5: https://rarecomponents.com/store/poe-... 🔗 Argon ONE V2 Case for Raspberry pi 4: : https://amzn.to/3WLwn8Q 🔗 Raspberry Pi 4 Computer, Model B, 4GB RAM: https://amzn.to/414soqG 📌 Useful Links: 🔗 Waveshare PoE M.2 HAT+ Wiki: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/PoE_M.... 💡 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Raspberry Pi tutorials and tech reviews! #RaspberryPi5 #PoEM2Hat #NVMeSSD #RaspberryPiTutorial #RaspberryPiProjects #Waveshare #TechUpgrade #StorageUpgrade #SSDSetup #PiOS #DIYTech
