Hello, I recently acquired an NVME M2 SSD to use on the Orange Pi 5. Before, I was using Android on the SD card, and although everything was working, I couldn't read the card through Windows to copy the files directly from the PC for the card.

So I decided to buy an NVME SSD to use in the M2 port with the system (Android) and leave the card just to manage external files. I redid the installation of Android on the SSD, formatted the SD card and to my surprise, when connecting the Orange Pi 5 I saw that it wouldn't boot. I deduced that the OP5 was trying to boot from the SD card (which no longer has any system installed), so I removed the card and restarted the Orange Pi 5, and now it starts normally.

But that's where the problem lies. The SD card only has external files, and no operating system files. Even so, OP5 is giving preference to the SD card, even with the SSD having the system installed there. So, every time I want to run my OP5, I'll have to remove the SD card from the slot, turn on the OP5, wait for the boot starts and then insert the SD card again. I bought the OP5 precisely so I didn't have to do any of that, just turn it on and play the games. Is there any way I can access the BIOS and change the OP5 boot priority order so that the SSD has priority?

It makes no sense for OP5 to prioritize the SD card, as it does not have any kind of bootloader, unlike the SSD. Shouldn't OP5 fetch bootloaders from attached storage devices?

Anyway, could someone help me in changing the boot priority order? Thanks.

Did you run the nand-sata-install? You may have to use this to overwrite the SPI flash.
