hm, can an #rpi3 boot from USB without any setup?
i'be ordered a microSD because Lakka wasn't booting but I couldn't boot it in a QEMU VM either and the Pi looked like it was doing _something_, because the green led was flashing....
idk
i found a guide that told me to toggle stuff from Raspbian, but i don't have a Raspbian microSD so i wanted to see if a pendrive will work
@grainloom Then there's flash for the Compute Module version, which you can write to as if it were USB, but that's for industrial applications.
@MatejLach
actually, i just got it to boot raspbian from USB!!!
it's an rpi3 b+ btw
i guess the info was outdated and Lakka is bugged
@MatejLach
i guess i bought a microsd for no reason :/
maybe next time i manage to get my NDS working i'll use it with the Acekard
@MatejLach
ok not for no reason actually, because my pendrives are quite flaky, so a new microsd might be a good idea
@grainloom Yeah, I hope this works for me as for me is actually sd cards that I most frequently bend or otherwise get corrupted. One time I even damaged a brand new one, trying to get it out of the plastic packaging, lol 🤣
@grainloom Nice to know! I might have to try this myself then.
@grainloom No it cannot out of the box, the bootloader needs some blobs in a dos parttion on the sd to boot.
@grainloom However afer loading those it can get directed to booting from usb.
That's how OpenBSD did it before the internal storage driver has been ported
@grainloom I am pretty sure the answer is no, at least for the standard Pi the only boot method is the sd card as far as I know.
