[PROBLEM] USB only boot

[Schlauer Det]

My intention is NOT to boot from SDCard since I have a lot of bad experiences with these cards and they are not so easy to change when put into a system consisting of Raspi, TouchScreen and the housing for that stuff.

Hey Det,

I can understand your frustration when something isn't work very well, while it supposed to do so and while other people don't have that problem.
The fact that replacing µSD cards from your RPi when it is built in a case also doesn't add to overcome your frustration.

But for these things, there are special tools: have a look at this:
Extend Male Micro SD to Female micro SD 25cm Raspberry Pi

One end is put in the RPi where you normally put the µSD card and the other end can then be build into your case. This way the µSD card is always easy accessible, and eliminates the need of slooooow USB-sticks... SD cards these days are very reliable, just buy a decent one from a good brand, like Sandisk Ultra family, or the Samsung EVO's.

Johan,

thanks for your reply and your suggestions.
Some time ago, I had exactly this solution in mind. Due to other reasons I digressed from this path.

In the near future, I will test this approach. The extension cable is already ordered. It will probably arrive tomorrow or an Friday.


Thanks again

Cheers
Det
