Hi, I know a couple folks here are active on Thinkpads.com / familiar with the X210 port by Matthew.
The stock BIOS doesn't appear to support non-NVME devices in the M.2 slot; I'm attempting to get a Sunix UPD2018 card working to add USB-C.
With stock BIOS, the card works just fine in the WiFi slot, and an NVME drive works just fine in the M.2 slot so nothing appears physically broken.
However, so far nothing I've done lets me detect the Sunix card if I try to put it in the NVME slot using this adapter https://www.adt.link/product/R42.html. I would think it should just show up under "lspci" like it does in the WiFi slot, but it does not.
I have not tried the latest Coreboot / port yet, but I figured I might as well get some opinions on the subject.
What do you guys think, can this be done with Coreboot?
Quite possibly. Why don't you try it? If it works, problem solved. If it doesn't work, then we know something is wrong and can look for a fix.
Right now, I can only come up with a single idea: Does the M.2 slot have any PCIe lanes routed to it? If it only has SATA, then bad news.
Cheers,
Rafael
