Hi,
I am quite new to the topic of USB booting so if you are able to help me please don’t make it too complicated![Smile :)]()
When trying to boot from USB, I am unable to connect using ssh even though I activated it in the imager. The green indicator light keeps on blinking, and after a quick google search this apparently means that my pi 4 is trying to read files, but after 15 minutes of waiting it is clear that there’s some kind of read/write protection I am unable to remove. Here‘s exactly what I did:
I. Boot from Micro SD
2. Use GParted to remove all the partitions
3. Write the image
4. Use GParted again and check if the 2 partitions (dev/sda1 and dev/sda2) have been created
5. Access raspi-config
6. reset the boot loader and change the order to USB first
7. restart using8. shutdown using the power button
9. remove the micro SD and plug my 1tb USB Stick into a USB 3.0 port (the blue one, right?)
10. Startup
But it just doesn’t seem to work. When booting from Micro SD and then plugging in my USB I am able to access rootfs, when trying to add a file to bootfs tho it gives me a read/write error even though the partition is not locked.
I am using the official power supply by raspberry and it is working fine.
Would really appreciate an answer![Smile :)]()
