USB Boot support

[MichaelKoch1980]

Hi!

I´ve seen the project on Vogons, and i plan to build one :-)
Is it possible to boot from USB (Raspi 4 will be much faster on USB than SD-Card)?

best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm not sure, it's not something I've tested yet. Some work has been done in this area - it is possible to have the ROMs and SoundFonts on a USB stick and they do load faster this way, especially on a Pi 4.

At a minimum I'll need to adapt the config file code to search USB drives for the config file - will try to find some time to work on this soon.

Best regards,
-Dale
