I would like to flash an image based on the lx2160a\_build distribution to a SATA drive. I’m a bit confused by the documentation and I’m wondering if I’m not understanding the instructions. From the document: [https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/197494345/LX2160A+Software](https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/197494345/LX2160A+Software) It says to run these commands from u-boot to flash to the SATA drive: #load mmc 0:1 0xa4000000 ubuntu-core.img #nvme scan #nvme write 0xa4000000 0 0xd2000 This doesn’t work and I feel that that I should be using “sata” instead of “nvme”. However, there is no u-boot “sata” command. Am I missing something? ---

the nvme command is specific to nvme storage. In u-boot to access sata drives you use the `scsi` command ---

Thanks. I’ll do that. I was thinking sata and not scsi. The software doc could use an update to reflect this information.
