![]() usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=2642, bcdDevice=10.03 This is the “dmesg” info which is logged when this drive is connected while the board is booted with another disc: usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd And after a few reboots, I seem to have messed up the disc, as I end up with the same error screen again…Īpparently, not all SSD drives are supported (yet) with USB Boot on the Raspberry Pi, so I need to investigate this further… If you have an idea on how to fix this issue, please let me know! It works when connected to USB 2 but the speed is a lot lower than expected. Pushing the limits now… How cool would it be to have a 500Gb drive which is about the same size as the Raspberry Pi itself? Let’s try out with a “WD BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD 500GB”.īut no luck… Connected to USB 3 the Pi can’t boot. Flash Driveįor the second test, the SD card is removed, and the “32GB Transcend JetFlash 780 USB 3.0 Flash Drive” is used… and we have a winner! No configuration or other changes needed! Just plugin the Flash Drive in a USB 3 (blue) port and the Raspberry Pi starts similar to the SD card. The first test with the “Transcend 64GB microSD” starts smoothly as expected. In case you have questions and remarks about it, you can check out this forum post “STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback”. This 64-bit OS version is still in development and not fully finished. Again use the “Imager” tool and select the file you just downloaded with the “Use custom” option.Download the OS-img file from the Raspberry Pi forum.But there is a work-in-progress-version of Raspberry Pi OS which is 64-bit! Let’s use that one…įor this post, I wrote this 64-bit beta-version to three different discs to compare the results. As only the latest Raspberry Pi-boards have a 64-bit chip, the official release of Raspberry Pi OS is 32-bit only. Raspberry Pi OS is the operating system provided by Raspberry Pi and is based on Debian. If a HDMI display is attached then screen will display red.If a HDMI display is attached then screen will display green.The green LED light will blink rapidly (forever). ![]() With the “Imager” write the latest bootloader to an SD card (note: this is not really a bootloader but replaces the on-board bootloader).On PC, Apple or Raspberry Pi, download the “Imager” tool from the Raspberry Pi website.The full process is described in “USB mass storage boot”, but these are the only steps needed for a Raspberry Pi 4: Prepare the Raspberry Pi to be able to boot from USB There is a long thread on the Raspberry Pi forum “STICKY: HOWTO: Move the filesystem to a USB stick/Drive” where you can find a lot of additional info, but this post contains the short version which worked out for me to turn my Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB memory into a real workhorse. SD cards are not super fast and can get corrupted when you are writing a lot to disc. But there is an alternative you need to consider if you want to make your system more reliable. A micro SD card is the default way to add an operating system to the Raspberry Pi.
