6.3.4 Booting from the SSD
After you install the SSD into the Pironman 5 and reboot, an NVMe disk connected through the PCIe should be visible.
If you want to boot your Raspberry Pi from the SSD, you need to do some configurations and install an operating system
on the SSD.
1. Configure boot from the SSD
• To enable boot support, you need to change the BOOT_ORDER in the bootloader configuration. Edit the EEPROM
configuration by:
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
• Then, change the BOOT_ORDER line to be as below.
BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
2. Install an Operating System on the SSD
There are two ways to install an operating system on the SSD:
• Copy the system from the Micro SD to the SSD: This method is simpler, and your previous configurations can
also be directly copied.
• Install via Raspberry Pi Imager: If your Raspberry Pi uses a desktop version of the operating system, you can
use an imaging tool (like Raspberry Pi Imager) to burn the system to the SSD. This example uses Raspberry Pi
OS bookworm, but other systems might require installing the imaging tool first. However, this method requires
you to reinstall the prionman module, and other configurations need to be redone as well.
Copying the System from the Micro SD Card to the SSD
1. Connect a display or Access the Raspberry Pi desktop through VNC Viewer. Then click Raspberry Pi logo ->
Accessories -> SD Card Copier.
