so I've been trying to boot but have yet to be successful. I'm using a cm4 lite and I've tried the desktop and OMV images. I was able to get the default raspberry pi os to boot
How did you write the OS you downloaded? The process should be:1. Download the img file from our Software Downloads page.2. Use Raspberry Pi Imager to write it directly to your USB flash drive.
If I had to guess, based on your screenshot, I'd say the image was not written to the USB flash drive successfully. I see "USB2[1]" is connected and enabled and I would guess that you are using HUB port 2 for the flash drive and perhaps port 1 for a USB keyboard/mouse. (based on speed) But it didn't like what was written to the flash drive.
If you scan through the forums, you'll see that some people have experienced issues writing the img file to USB flash drives while on Windows OS.If it is not a Windows OS issue, would you mind trying one of the other images we have to see if they work?
whelp I had it working exactly how I wanted. Then I shut it down to clean up the mess of cables, and now it won't boot off the ssd that I installed to.
If you install the OS on the SSD, you’ll still need to keep the USB flash drive plugged in because the bootloader is stored on the flash drive. The CM4 cannot boot directly from an SSD—it can only boot from an SD Card, eMMC, or USB. Since you have a Lite board without onboard eMMC, you’ll need either our new Interceptor v2 board with SD Card support or to continue booting from USB. While the OS and all your work are on the SSD, the USB flash drive is required only for booting. Once booted, the SSD serves as the primary storage and operating location.
