10/18/2022, 10:37 PMI was wondering if anyone has some black magic knowledge about getting the CM3+ modules to netboot in the Turing-Pi V1. It is casually mentioned in the documentation that it is possible, but I cant find any documentation on how to get the CM3+ modules to do this. Everything I can find seems to refer to changing OTP bit 17 using program_usb_boot_mode=1 in /boot/config.txt, but this doesnt seem to do anything for me. I am running Ubuntu, could that be it?
Anyone at all? Perhaps from anyone from @User? You advertise this is possible, but I cant find any documentation making the CM3s with eMMC boot from LAN

I'm not sure if that model supports it?

12/02/2022, 1:21 PMFrom my understanding this ist possible. We use it regular when you mean loading kernel and using an NFS root.
We just remove the partition table and reboot.

What I remember that the network booting needs to be enable. But it's just a onetime thing

12/04/2022, 10:27 PMI vaguely remember getting it sort of working, but it was a PITA and I gave up. I think I ended up needing a MicroSD card just to point to the remote location, so it was only being read on startup, nothing else.

03/17/2023, 10:28 PMI have two CM3+ w/32GB eMMC and am looking for a way to preserve the eMMC and conserve RAM usage
I’m ok with putting some bootstrap, etc. content on the Pi itself to NetBoot
I was curious if, by building boot images remotely, I could use a different device as a BMC-type manager for my TP1
Perhaps even NetBoot it from the BMC on the TP2 when that software is complete?
Perhaps a partial solution… (will post a few more links)
