Unable to flash CM5 eMMC

[jiribrejcha]

Describe the bug

On macOS 15.1.1 (24B91) I am unable to flash CM5 eMMC. rpiboot compiles successfully but it fails with this message. My carrier board has the BOOT jumper shorted and the CM5 is connected via USB-C to USB-C cable to a MacBook Pro M2.

This did the trick:

jiri@MacBook usbboot % sudo ./rpiboot -d /Users/jiri/usbboot/mass-storage-gadget64/

There's a clue in the error message:

Directory not specified using default /usr/share/rpiboot/mass-storage-gadget64/

It sounds like you haven't installed rpiboot, just built it, in which case you will need to specify the directory:

$ sudo ./rpiboot -d mass-storage-gadget64

I've run into the same issue and the above from @pelwell resolved it. The user guide really should state that step...
