Boot from NVME

Update EEPROM

This method works if you have an SSD and have booted the device successfully with emmc. Please make sure your system is the latest Raspberry Pi system (Bookworm or later) and and your RPi 5 firmware is updated to 2023-12-06 (Dec 6th) or newer, otherwise it may not recognize the NVME-related configurations.

Step 1:Ensure that your Raspberry Pi system is up-to-date (Bookworm or later), enter the following command to update the RPi 5 firmware:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  sudo rpi-eeprom-update  # If it is not post-December 2023 type the following into a terminal to start the configuration tool
  sudo raspi-config

Scroll down to Advanced Options and press Enter:

Scroll down to Bootloader Version and press Enter:

And finally choose Latest, and press Enter:

Select No here - you want the latest bootloader.

And exit from the tool by selecting Finish:

If asked to reboot, select Yes.

Step 2：Cick Applications =>Accessories =>SD Card Copier on the main screen, run the SD Card Copier program, and copy the OS to the NVME ssd as shown in the figure below.

Setting the Raspberry Pi to boot from the NVMe SSD

If you have easy access to your SD card slot you could turn off your Pi, pop out the SD card and (if everything's working as expected) it should automagically boot from your NVMe drive the next time you start it up. If you want to leave the SD card where it is and still boot from NVMe though, you'll need to change the boot order.

Step 1:Enter the following command:

  sudo raspi-config

Scroll down to Advanced Options and press Enter:

Step 2:Scroll down to Boot Order and press Enter:

Step 3:Choose NVMe/USB Boot and press Enter:

Configuration will be confirmed. Press Enter:

Step 4:Return to the first screen by selecting Back or pressing the Esc key. Then navigate to Finish using the right cursor key.
