Feature request: Raspberry pi 3 boot from usb #179

Closed thommy86 closed 1 year ago

thommy86 commented 7 years ago

As stated on the rPi website (see links below), the raspberry pi 3 has the possibility to boot directly from a mass storage device, such as an USB stick or hard drive and from network without the necessity of a microSD card installed.

Is there's any possibility to update the Rasplex installer to write USB sticks compatible with this feature, considering it has to have an updated bootcode.bin (issued in the 'next' branch of rPi firmware) and a proper cmdline.txt (at the moment, the USB stick written with the Pi image of Rasplex contains a cmdline.txt that references the SD partition).
