Description

X1001X1001

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Check the hardware connection, make sure the FFC cable is fully inserted with right direction. (Change FFC cable to test if you have one.)
  2. Update EEPROM firmware: Check and upgrade the bootloader firmware to the latest version(2024-02-16);
  3. Refer to Geekworm X1001 WiKi to check the SSD incompatibility List, change SSD to test.
  4. Enable PCIe: Must make sure to enable PCIe in the OS on the NVME SSD you are booting, instead of the OS on SD card. Too many people just enable PCIe in the OS on the SD CARD.
  5. Set NVME boot order;
  6. DONT enable PCIe 3.0, ONLY PCIe 2.0 is supported by Raspberry Pi fundation.
  7. If your SSD is old and has a DOS partition, delete the DOS partition and repartition the SSD (feedback from buyer)
  8. Refer to the guide on Geekworm Wiki for more specific operations!!!(wiki.geekworm.com/NVMe_SSD_boot_with_the_Raspberry_Pi_5)

Note: The Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 NVME SSD, power supply is not included in the packing list.

Overview

The X1001 V1.1 shield is an NVME M2 SSD PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilise the NVME M2 SSD for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.

User Manual: wiki.geekworm.com/X1001

Features

  • Model: X1001
  • Minimalist design, easy to install.
  • FFC cable is only 30mm length.
  • Compatible with other HAT shield;
  • Supports installation of official Pi 5 active cooler;
  • Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVME M2 ssd.
  • Can Power the X1001 shield directly from the FPC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
  • Integrated with XH2.54 5V power connector, just use it if you are using a ultra large capacity SSD if the current is not enough.

PS:

  1. Maximum current for PCIe wire is 1A, and voltage is 5V.
  2. If you find that the SSD is not working properly, it is possible that the power supply of SSD is not enough, then you need to check the current requirement of your SSD to decide whether power the SSD separately.
  3. The X1001 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.

How to Power

  • Can power the X1001 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
