Raspberry Pi boot

21 May 2013

Hi, Ive just bought a new Raspberry Pi RevB and Im wondering if it is possible to boot it from a USB flash drive instead of an SD card.

If its possible could someone elaborate on how to set the Pi to boot like that please.

Omar,
The RPi can't boot from USB. It only boots from the SD Card.
Once it is booted, however, you can mount your root file system
on a USB flash drive, which will probably speed things up.

If booting from USB is important to you, consider a Beaglebone Black.
