Pi4 not booting from usb
-
maybe i missed something somewhere...i have pi4b running latest official retropie image, installed through imager application, on sdcard.
I did update everything to latest available packages today, did a backup of the sdcard, and then wanted to try boot the pi from usb (while not removing the sdcard).
from what i understand, this should be supported meanwhile....still it always boots from sdcard

Your boot order is SD-Card, then USB, codified as
f14
and shown on the bootloader screen. If you wish to boot from USB first, then change the order tof41
. You can find more details in the EEPROM configuration doc page, including on how to change the configuration. -
@mitu thx...there seems to be some misleading information on the page you linked...and i seem to have picked the wrong info...
0x4 USB-MSD USB mass storage boot - See USB mass storage boot
BOOT_ORDER Description
0xf41 Try SD first, followed by USB-MSD then repeat (default if BOOT_ORDER is empty)0xf14 Try USB first, followed by SD then repeat
funnily, i had (tried to) changed it from gui...and selected the option: boot from usb, fallback to sdcard...
let me try changing it to 0xf41... i'll report back
edit: I changed it:
rpi-eeprom-config
[all]
BOOT_UART=0
WAKE_ON_GPIO=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
BOOT_ORDER=0xf41and now i don't even see the bootloader screen anymore...instead it directly boots retropie from sdcard
edit2: 0xf14 is the correct mode... problem is not with retropie nor with the config.
I now have tested an usb-stick with recalbox, and it boots just fine... previously i tried to boot lakka 64bit from usb, which did/does not work.
I guess i need to check lakka forum for support...
