The Pi doesn't necessarily need an SD card. I'm running it on NFS, booted over the network. Works just fine. No need to worry about burning out the SD card.

- sebazzz 7y agoWhat component supports NFS booting? The bootloader is on the SD card, right?
- mbreese 7y agoI believe the RPi can boot directly from the network, but it does require a one-time config change that requires booting from the SD card once. After that, the SD card isn’t required for future reboots. (Or actually even supported, IIRC)
- geerlingguy 7y agoI don't think the Pi 4 supports netboot yet[1]. [1] https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net.md https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberry...
- mbreese 7y agoI should have mentioned that this was currently only for the 3. Hopefully that will get fixed soon.
