The Turing RK1 is a new Compute Module, made for the Turing Pi 2 board and with compability to the Nvidia Jetson cards in mind. While the board has some impressive specs ( https:\/\/docs.turingpi.com\/docs\/turing-rk1-specs-and-io-ports<\/a> ) it had one small issue: The used Rockchip RK3588 needed a bootloader on its eMMC to be able to boot from an attached NVMe drive. As no isolated bootloader was available, most people flashed a whole OS onto the eMMC - just to be able to use the attched NVMe drive. This process can take quite a while via the Turing Pi 2 board ( e.g. 60 - 90 minutes: https:\/\/docs.turingpi.com\/docs\/turing-rk1-flashing-os<\/a> ) it was never a good option.<\/p>\n

Now there is finally a solution brought up by Mister gregordinary from the DietPi Forums - who deserves all the credit ( https:\/\/dietpi.com\/forum\/t\/new-turingpi-rk1\/19142\/9<\/a> ):<\/p>\n
