Just bought Raspberry 3B+ and want to boot HassOS-image from USB-SSD.
I’ve tried to install the HassOS-image on SD, moved the hassos-data partition to SSD. (see this manual) I didn’t need to changed the OTP-bit, because it’s a RP3B+. But the RP3B+ it didn’t start up.
My hardware: RP3B+, powersupply 3A, 32GB Micro-SD, Crucial M4 SSD 2,5" and a Sata to USB3-cable (link)
I’ve read some comments that it’s not possible yet?
I’ve read something about bootcode.bin and timeout file.
I dont want to use Raspbian & Docker.
Can anyone help me with a manual for installing HassOS-data on USB-SSD?
Put your SC-Card in RPi and power your SSD! Otherwise it won’t work
Then power your RPi
What for some minutes 8-20 minutes
Try to connect to the Hassio link:
http://hassio.local:8123
If this is not working then search for the IP thats connect to
Setup your HA!!!
Then follow the steps in this link:
Install SSH & Web Terminal Add-on from the Hassio Community Repo
“… Put your SC-Card in RPi and power your SSD! Otherwise it won’t work Then power your RPi.…”
I’m using a USB-SSD (SSD connect to Pi with a single SATA to USB-cable). Will this work too?
How do i power my SSD before i power my RP3B+?
How can it? I dont see you anywhere setting the “program_usb_boot_mode=1” that at least the raspberry 3 needs. Not sure about the rpi 4, last I checked it couldnt boot directly from usb at all. Am I missing something?
Sorry the steps are for my archive… I have my RPi3B+ already done with “program_usb_boot_mode=1” in past. So then its not needed anymore.
Second to @hassio-martin I don’t know if it will work. I have a SSD also connected to RPI using USB. But powered with external Power Supply. There are cables that have 2 USB connections, 1 to connect and 1 for external Power.
FWIW, i have been trying with a USB Sata dock (externally powered), and a sata ssd freshly etched with balena etcher with the latest RC, and its not working. Not sure if I did something wrong, or the sata dock doesnt work with the pi. I read somewhere to copy bootcode.bin to an sdcard, but I cant locate that file on the ssd…
I did indeed get the wrong hassoss image. My pi3 now boots from USB with no problems, but Im having a hell of a time migrating my config over. Ive tried restoring a snapshot, copying the config folder via samba, copying the homeassistant folder on a different linux machine, everything results in HA not starting or not remotely working properly. What is the correct procedure?
anyone succeeded install on ssd with raspberry pi 4 hassOS ? My SSD does not boot or showing activity lights when i turn on raspberry pi … ssd connected with usb cable…
or do i have to wait for a ssd support for the pi 4 ?
This worked for me perfect. Tried this couple of times to be sure this is working. Now running for 3 months Hassio on SSD on RPi. Only first boot part from SD
Flash on SD Card Debain Buster Lite Image put in RPi4 and bootup
Now do some things on command prompt of Buster on your Pi: (In my case my SSD is /dev/sda1, it can be different ar your setup)
Since August 2020 it is possible to directly boot your ssd attached via usb on a RPI4 without a SD card. Finally a firmware Update on the RPI opened this door.
And HassOS 5.2 (64bit Version) finally boots from SSD.
To use this feature you need to run the latest eeprom update.
