[opensuse-arm] RPI4 USB boot beta firmware
The current RPI4 beta firmware can boot from a USB attached disk. It does, in fact, boot Raspbian from a USB disk. The boot process for openSUSE is different from Raspbian, involving u-boot and such. Has anybody figured out how to boot openSUSE from a USB attached disk on a RPI4 with the current beta firmware? I copied some firmware files from the Raspbian image to an openSUSE Tumbleweed image and get as far as u-boot loading the initrd and kernel and then it goes black. I am guessing there is a mismatch between their DTB and our kernel. I image with a few hundred hours of fiddling around I might get it to work. The usual solution for me is to wait a few weeks or months until openSUSE "just works". Has anybody tried this? Has anybody succeeded? Thanks.

I am not sure if U-Boot supports USB on RPi4 already. Matthias?

As soon as U-Boot supports USB on RPi4, it should be straight forward. Cheers, Guillaume

The U-Boot shipped with tumbleweed and Leap 15.2 supports USB. Sorry I've never tested this myself. Regards, Matthias
