raspberry pi with ssd
I have a raspberry pi working from a nvme ssd. Is het possible to install pi-star on a ssd?
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
using the "dd" command, it should be possible, yes
though using an ssd/nvme seems like, from the outside looking in, may be overkill

Re: raspberry pi with ssd
I can flash pi-star to a nvme ssd for raspberry pi 5. But it is not booting.
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
web search. Not sure how it's done on the rpi5. I think on the rpi4, you have to initially boot off of microsd card and tinker with a config within raspi-config, though I am not sure
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
You cant burn ur download file to an ssd and expect it to run as it would if it we're burnt to an sd card.
Theres a whole host of magic youll need to cunjure up to make it run from an ssd/ nvme

Re: raspberry pi with ssd
Actually, not a lot of magic involved: a couple of SED commands that make some simple changes to three files on an existing system and the image is ready to be cloned/booted to/from other SD cards, USB's, SSD's and NVME's.
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
but wich commands? With google i find nothing how to that
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
You must prep any Pi-Star image (on a microSD card) before it can be cloned to an alternate type of device:

Once so prepped, the revised image can be cloned over and over again. I typically use Etcher but Pi-Imager works just as well. You can also mount both drives side-by-side on the Pi, but the cloning process is more involved that way, IMHO.
Best you start with a small microSD card: you can clone to larger sizes but not to ones smaller than the original.
Re: raspberry pi with ssd
I am also having an issue with getting Pi-star image 4.3 to boot from a ssd NVMe ssd card using the PCIe express connection.
It will boot fine on the Original 4.3 image from The raspberry pi folks. I also have it booting fine from ASL Link allstar image.
It appears the pi-star image is missing some of the files to boot form the ssd.
Error I am getting:
/scripts/local-premount/firstboot: 11 /scripts/local-premount/firstboot: grep: not found
Gave up waiting for root file system device.
I am not an expert on the OS and was hoping to get it working like my ASL nodes.
I have read the other post and how to make it work with a usb ssd. But I am using PCIe connection.
Be nice to get it working if possible. Hopefully there with be a pi-star image that will support the ssd PCIe connection.
It woks fine with the the raspberry pi down load so something different with the pi-star image.
Thanks all
