Hello all. Does anyone have any experience in getting Hamvoip to boot and run on a Raspberry Pi 4 with an M.2 SSD? I really want to get rid of the memory card(s) in my systems and can't figure out how to get this thing to boot correctly. ANY help would be appreciated. 73' de W2LPC, Lou.

Burn the image to the SSD with Raspberry pi imager, then plug the drive into the pi and power it on.? Should boot up just fine

Which NVME to USB hat board are you using with your
Raspberry Pi 4??

Thank you for the reply. I am using a USB 3.0 M.2 NVME adapter. It plugs into the USB port on the Pi4. It will not boot. It see's the USB drive but, will not start the boot process. I can take a screen shot later and post the errors
I am getting. I have the Pi4 set to USB boot first, and flash card second (no flash card installed). Still nothing. Do I have to flash the EEPROM to get this to work? Thanks.

Have you successfully booted from the M.2 board with any other OS ?

Here are the steps you need to take to boot from a USB SSD on a pi4
|
Plain Jane Linux (Debian, Ubuntu) OS's will boot on the Pi4 (MMC boots just fine). If I use the SAME adapter on my Pi5 with ANYTHING other than my Hamvoip image, it will boot just fine. I think it has something to do with the way Hamvoip loads the bootstrap. Unknown.
|
Thank you for the link. Am I supposed to do this (EEPROM Flash) with a DIFFERENT OS and THEN use the Hamvoip image after?
|
They do have a bootloader image on the pi downloads page that you burn to an SD, power it on and then wait for the green light to start flashing (instructions with the download) and that upgrades the bootloader.? What NVMe SSD are you using?? Any errors about power?

You can skip the copying from the SD card by burning the image direct to the SSD.

Didn't realize it was a Pi5. Pi5 requires a different kernel for the new SOC on the Pi5. Check with the author of HAMVOIP and see if they may have a Pi5 version.

I have a Kingston 256GB M.2 NVME SSD. It's a good drive and does work with other OS's on the Pi4 and Pi5. It seems the Pi5's don't care about boot order. I took one (Pi5) out of the box and it booted directly to the USB, but not the Hamvoip. It's a very strange issue indeed.

One more thing. The Hamvoip image is GOOD. It boots just fine on the MMC. I have tried booting the SAME image on BOTH Pi4 AND Pi5 (with M.2 SSD), just to see what would occur. All I am trying to do is eliminate the MMC and use USB M.2 instead. I don't care if it's a Pi4 or Pi5.
|
That is very odd... So the kernel and bootloader are correct if it boots from the SD card... I use Kingston's all the time with my Pi4's and 5's without issue, so that's definitely not it.
I would message the author of HAMVOIP and see if they have any ideas.?

Which version of HamVoIP are you using?? Best I can
tell, the HamVoIP project has stopped making updates in 2022 but
per the website, it says:
--
May 21, 2022
Firmware image updated to version 1.7-01. This new
firmware image has all packages updated and should now boot all
supported Raspberry Pi hardware, including: Zero2W, 2B, 3B, 3B+,
3A+, CM3, CM4, Pi400 and 4B (rev 1.0 thru 1.5). Download
the latest firmware HERE
--
Do note there is no mention of the Rpi5 on their website which is
significantly different hardware.? One of the previous messages
mentioned upgrading the RPi4 firmware by writing a special image
to an SD card, booting on it, etc.? After you do that, depending
on the revision of your Rpi4, I recommend you check the boot order
supported and enabled on your Rpi4 firmware.

That screen shot was on a Pi4 2GB. I did the EEPROM flash and still nothing. It just refuses to boot to M.2.
This is alother try at boot Hamvoip on a M.2 with a Pi4. This was just today. SAME Pi4 with EEPROM flash. How do I install raspi-config on Hamvoip Arch? Maybe I need to use that to tell the OS where to boot?
?
