/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/raspberry-pi-bootHi, 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.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/raspberry-pi-bootWed, 22 May 2013 09:45:30 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d09c802d-7240-4952-ae89-45700498f107penguintutor0<p>You can load the OS from the USB stick, but you still need a SD card with a boot loader on it. In the case of Linux that would mean have the /boot partition (it&#39;s the 58Mb partition formated with FAT) still on the SD card - everything else goes on USB. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>See <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://jonathanmh.com/boot-raspberry-pi-from-a-usb-stick/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="http://jonathanmh.com/boot-raspberry-pi-from-a-usb-stick/">http://jonathanmh.com/boot-raspberry-pi-from-a-usb-stick/</a> </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=15606&AppID=86&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/products/raspberry-pi/b/blog/posts/raspberry-pi-bootTue, 21 May 2013 16:28:15 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d09c802d-7240-4952-ae89-45700498f107e14 Contributor0<p>Omar,</p><p>&nbsp; The RPi can&#39;t boot from USB.&nbsp; It only boots from the SD Card.</p><p>Once it is booted, however, you can mount your root file system</p><p>on a USB flash drive, which will probably speed things up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If booting from USB is important to you, consider a Beaglebone Black.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=15606&AppID=86&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
