Finally got USB boot working on RPi3, no thanks to Steve Jobs! - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi folks,

having spent half day googling , struggling, trying raspberry pi3 boot usb media, i've managed it. since i've not found cause documented anywhere else, thought i'd mention on here. , if comes "oh yes, knows that", i'll go jump off nearest bridge!

it's rpi3 , failing boot, despite otp bit being set correctly. getting black screen, i.e. hdmi wasn't being activated, screen stayed in standby , got single red led. tried booting off both wd labs 314gb usb drive , sandisk usb 2.0 16gb stick. both imaged stretch. tried imaging wheezy , had same outcome. numerous firmware updates suggested various sites, sifting through log files never knew existed sorts, no joy.

answer... had apple keyboard, daisy chained mouse plugged usb port - having these connected enough stop thing booting! un-plugged , fired right up! in disbelief, plugged them in , rebooted , problem back! boot system, , plug keyboard in after i've got desktop!

might have go , find alcoholic reward.

pigging computers... i'm going building cars!

jono
