Hello,
I have the Firefly RK3399 4GB/32GB i Have the .m2 to Sata adaptor from firefly-shop, with a Samsung Evo 860.
Iam using the firefly Xubuntu Image. The ssd is not recognized.
Honestly Iam also quite disappointed. The support chain for this boards is reallyy unorganized. For Example some Downloads are only available via Baidu. Tried to download , you get a chinese language baidu drive client. So I cant download certain resources. Answers in the threads are inconsistant, some just BS.
Sad because if you look How good the Rockchip Kernel is for this sock, basics should work better..
We want to develop applications and not fixed buggy OS features.

If someone have a solution for my SSD issue, i really will apprecheate

Hello Peguin ,Thanx for your interest in my issue.
I have used the Ubuntu 16.04 image original offered here, and upgrated it and just to check I have now upgraded to 18.04, I will try the last download of Ubuntu 18.04 this weekend

Hello Penguin!

Thanx for your inputs.
I flashed the newest Ubuntu Image 18.04, and lucky me it works now as well. I guess that there are some firefly specific updates not automatically installed. Is there a firefly repro to add for updating e.g. the Kernel via a normal update procedure?
I now will have a look to Video HW accelaration.
