Argon M.2 SSD Boot Issues

ARGON ONE (V2 and M.2) DISCUSSION
1

Hi,

Just bought this lovely case but cannot for the life of me get any OS to boot with the M.2. storage. Raspberian boot sequence starts, but I just get loads of complaints that it cannot find the boot drive.

The errors I get when loading are:
xHC-CMD err: 4 type: 11 [02:01 0.00 000002:01]

I have tried both Kingspec and WD Blue SSD M.2. drives. I have an offical Raspberry pi 5.1v /15w PSU, and have tried multiple OS’s. Booting from SD works great, booting from a 2.5 inch SSD with USB to SSD cable is fine (even in the case), and the M.2. Mini board works fine with my windows machine and I am not overclocking or any nonsense like that. I have trimmed some pins incase they were shorting - still no luck. I have tried updating the pi bootloader so it is now running - 2022-12-07 version.

Can anyone help give some advice?

hi,

Yep - second to last paragraph last sentence. Got the green screen after loading it and everything.

Going to return this. Believe I have done more than my fair amount of attempts to resolve this using the pi forum:

Shame - I really liked this case.

What is the model numbers of the m.2 sticks?

I’m not sure if this helps or not. I had a similar problem with the Pi not booting in the case and tracked it down to a faulty USB Bridge adaptor. I used a usb cable as a bridge and it worked fine. Using the Argon Bridge and it didn’t work. In the end I had to get a new bridge and it fixed the problem.
