Flashing image to NVME and booting from it

[akibsayyed]

I am looking to flash image to NVME and boot from nvme. Kindly provide some guidance for same.

[frank-w]

there is no image and you cannot boot directly to nvme, just boot an initrd and create partitions you want for boot and root partition on nvme and copy kernel and rootfs+modules to them.

then you have to configure your uboot (uEnv.txt) to point to these partitions.

another user have written down the steps in forum

this is how i modified my r3 uenv.txt to not asking for kernel:
