Is the rpiboot install method working with Ubuntu on Vmware?

Hello

 

Just unpacked my RPi dev kit and followed the blog instruction to load Debian onto internal eMMC flash...

 

Powering up the kit and connecting the USB slave port to PC doesn't reveal any USB device...nor in OSX or under Ubuntu in Vmware...

 

And yes, the jumper is set to "EN" (o;

Also switches USB cables...

 

If it should show up as a disk drive then even OSX would list this USB device under system profiler...

Parents

  • Nope...also on a real machine with Ubuntu it doesn't work...

     

    Tried with two RPi dev kits...

     

    Endless syslog messages with:

    Hi there,

     

    Did you make any progress with this?  I'm having the same issue with CentOS 7 on an ASUS i7-4790K motherboard.

    I discovered more details about this issue on the raspberry pi forums, under the unfortunately titled "USBBoot on OSX".

     

     

    TL;DR

     

    The compute module firmware has a bug that makes it not work for all USB3 hosts and many USB2.  The guaranteed way to make it work is with another Raspberry Pi.
