    6464What is possible, is that you can load a kernel that has PCI/NVMe support from eMMC/USB/microSD and thus run your OS off NVMe.

    66 NVMe support has existed in our '''kernels''' for all of our product families for a long time now (I don't think we enable it on Ventana). It works exactly like putting your root filesystem on any block storage device such that you tell the kernel what device is root via 'root=<device> rootwait'.

    6868The IMX8 BOOT ROM does not support booting from PCI/NVMe so it will always boot its boot firmware from something it does support (NAND/SDIO/MMC/SD/SPI/USB/QSPI) and in this case that is eMMC. So the boot firmware will always exist on eMMC.
