A little later than expected – and, oddly, after my NVMe Duo – I’ve finally managed to get my Pimoroni NVMe Base mounted to a Raspberry Pi 5 and get an OS installed.

Like last time, this is the output of lspci -nnvmm. Unlike last time, however, it is quite clear that the single drive NVMe base connects directly to the Raspberry Pi 5’s single user accessible PCIe 2 lane without the intermediation of a PCIe switch.
