From b522aba0cddc8803f6586f9928c9893601a1c8e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harunobu Kurokawa Date: Fri, 5 May 2023 14:49:51 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] rpi-cmdline, rpi-u-boot-src: Support USB boot The Raspberry Pi 4 board can boot the image from USB memory. But current meta-raspberrypi supports only SD boot. This commit allows switching SD boot to other device. For example, if you want to use USB boot, please define the following parameters in your conf/local.conf file. CMDLINE_ROOT_PARTITION = "/dev/sda2" BOOT_MEDIA = "usb" v4: Update extra-build-config.md to explain more detail for new variable. v3: Changed variable name to "BOOT_MEDIA" (was "BOOT_DEVTIPE"). v2: Set existing microSD parameter as default. User can overwrite some parameters.
