No, but this is possible right now (and has always been) and it really doesn't make a big difference to booting everything from an USB device.latinhawk wrote:Boot from usb is not the same as start from sd card and then go to usb. Bott from usb is directly from usb with an empty usb card slot.
It does work as advertised. The feature to boot from USB is not advertised as working yet, you will have to WAIT just like the rest of us until the Raspberry Pi Foundation folks have completed their firmware development and testing for that.latinhawk wrote:I tried your way with horrible results.

It works absolutely fine if you do it properly. It's been done many times before without issues. It won't necessarily be any faster or more reliable than a decent microSD card though, so it's often a complete waste of time and effort.latinhawk wrote:I tried your way with horrible results.
You ain't doing it correctly then. Horrible, how?latinhawk wrote:I tried your way with horrible results.

Prove that is has been advertised as such or keep your mouth shut.latinhawk wrote:I tried your way with horrible results. I'm not complaining. I'm requesting that a product I paid for work as advertised.

NETWORK BOOT
Even with the chip designed and
taped out in March of last year, the
Foundation had some final input
for Broadcom in order to add two
new features: direct USB massstorage
and PXE network boot
capabilities. “Gordon rewrote the
boot ROM for the chip and then
provided an updated boot ROM to
Broadcom, saying ‘shove this in
the chip, it’ll work’,” Eben laughs.
“And it does!
“The other interesting thing
about the chip is for all other ones
the implementation work was done
entirely in Cambridge; this one was a
collaboration with Broadcom’s settop
box engineering group in Aztec
West [business park] in Bristol.”
Eben readily admits that not all
the capabilities of the new parts
are going to be used at launch,
however. “Although it is a 64‑bit
core, we’re using it as just a faster
32-bit core,” he reveals about
the Pi 3’s central processing unit.
“I can imagine there’d be some
real benefits [to 64-bit code].
