NVME DXE Driver and PATA SS

NVME DXE Driver and PATA SS

[david moheban]

Hi,

Is the PATA SS message that comes up in the bios boot menu when you insert
the NVME Express DXE driver from Edk2 into one's firmware by design or a
side-effect of the system not identifying the new device correctly?

Thank you

Hi,

Could you help to provide more information on the firmware which you are
using? Is it built by yourself or provided by vender?

As far as I know, the edk2 NVME driver only manages the devices, it will
not create boot options for them. It's for the BDS-related modules to
create boot options for discovered devices.


Best Regards,
Hao Wu

NVME DXE Driver and PATA SS

[david moheban]

Its been reported by various hardware modding enthusiasts that when they insert the Nvme edk2 driver into an Asus Ami based bios rom (could be other vendors as well) that after its insertion the system will say there is a 'PATA SS' device present in the boot menu however after Windows has been installed onto the NVME Drive the 'Windows boot Manager' shows up in the boot menu as well. So the PATA SS descripter maybe a misidentification of the device type??
