Moving the OS to USB storage (Allwinner-based Orange Pi Win / Prime)

[romanrm]

Hello,

I'm trying to move the OS from the SD card to an USB-connected SSD. This is using the bookworm image.

Typically, what would be enough for this, is to delete all partitions from the SD card (leaving only u-boot there), and have those partitions on USB disk instead. Then u-boot is smart enough to not only check SD, but also USB storage for the partition to boot from.

However, on Orange Pi Win u-boot does not see any storage devices connected at all.

On Orange Pi Prime the boot-up from USB starts (the kernel is found and launched), but then appears to stop indefinitely on ~6th second of boot-up with only some regular messages on screen, about various USB devices being detected and initialized. No errors or timeouts (or I did not wait long enough).

What else might be required? Has anyone have any success with this? Thanks
