Raspberry Pi 4 8GB: 64bit OS install and USB Boot (See my updated video on new way to boot from USB)

This is a quick run down on setting up the new 8GB Raspberry pi 4 with the new 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS and USB boot up configuration.

Commands used:

• USB Boot: ** This is an update as of 24 June 2020. The eeprom update is now official and there is a new easier way to configure the raspberry pi to boot up from USB devices. I have a new video tutorial on my channel. Here are the steps anyway:

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update

• Change "critical" to say "stable"

ls /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/stable

• get the last firmware update file with the date and move to the next step

sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/stable/pieeprom-2020-06-15.bin

sudo reboot

• You must reboot for this to take effect.

vcgencmd bootloader_config

• You should see: BOOT_ORDER=0xf41
• This will confirm that you can boot up from USB.

USB Drive mount:

blkid

• /dev/sda1: LABEL="SSDMEDIA" UUID="0000000000000000"

sudo mkdir /mnt/storage

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage

sudo chmod 775 /mnt/storage

id

• Get the uid and gid

sudo nano /etc/fstab

UUID=enter_uuid_here /mnt/Drive_Name auto nofail,uid=enter_uid_here,gid=enter_gid_here,noatime 0 0

*UUID=00000 /mnt/storage auto nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,noatime 0 0

sudo reboot ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce9APd6cbx0
