Both showed no effect, still no boot from USB possible. Any ideas what to try?

I think there is a flag that you need to set within the firmware, some hexadecimal value that tells it to try USB first, then SD-Card and so on.

According to various sources on the INet this value is set with the parameter program_usb_boot_mode=1 and verified with vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17: This command does not exist in openSUSE - anyone knows which to use instead?

I can try to find the link later, already a while ago I had to do that...

Much appreciated, thanks Axel

Well, even that did not work as expected: I got the actual Raspian OS and tried echo program_usb_boot_mode=1 | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt first - No boot from USB Next I found that sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config -e allows you to change the boot order as documented here [1] - note this works from a running openSUSE system as well! I set this to 0x3 (USB Boot), which was an unlucky choice, and ended up in a red and green LED lit permanently - and nothing more happening. Finally I used the rpi-imager to write a little SD card with the USB Bootloader....that worked. BOOT_ORDER=0xf14 is now set. I have adapted the Wiki accordingly.

Did you try it? And did it really work? It certainly does not for me.

Vcgencmd is available in raspberrypi-userland package from: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/raspberrypi-userland Cheers, Guillaume

Vcgencmd is available in raspberrypi-userland package from: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/raspberrypi-userland

Then it fails just one microsecond later :-)

raspi400:~ # rpi-eeprom-config -e ERROR: vcgencmd bootloader_config failed: 255  b''  b'VCHI initialization failed\n'

raspi400:~ # vcgencmd measure_temp VCHI initialization failed

Would you mind to open a bug so that we can track that? Thanks! Matthias

I just have an SD card with raspi OS handy to do the proprietary stuff. Same as having a Windows installation for updating the BIOS on laptops :-P

Leap or tumbleweed? vcgencmd works on the TW raspi3 but fails on the Leap15.3 raspi400...

Leap 15.3, in case you are interested: https://www.axxite.com/gnuhealth40-Leap15.3-XFCE-raspi4-20220326.img.xz

But I still wonder how you manage to do this without vcgencmd installed...

No idea, just tried.....

...

raspi400 in my case, which should be similar enough, I guess.

Yes, that should work a well (your prompt said 'Raspi3') Cheers Axel -- Dr.-Ing. Axel K.
