There is no boot menu. It should discover the USB drive and boot from it. The eeprom version on the top left of the screen must say Sep 2020 or Oct 2020.
What messages are shown on the bottom half of the screen?
"Failed to open device: 'sdcard' (cmd 371a0010 status 1fff0001)"
"Failed to open device: 'sdcard' (cmd 371a0010 status 1fff0001)"
"Failed to open device: 'sdcard' (cmd 371a0010 status 1fff0001)"
"Failed to open device: 'sdcard' (cmd 371a0010 status 1fff0001)"
Insert SD-CARD
It says bootloader c305221a Sep 3 2020
and i have done the update firmware via the pi os as per their documention states it upgraded the firmware as well when u use the full-upgrade command in the terminal.
Seems like the wrong boot options are set. What does it say for boot order at the top?
If you use the instructions from our docs it is much simpler and known to work reliably with correct firmware options set.
That must have been it. i went into the raspi-config and there was an option for usb under boot order. guess it was disabled?
now, when i boot with no sd card, the post messages are differnt and it shows it is trying to load a usb.
the channels image on the usb stick is booting now.
thanks!
