Nifty... but did you really write 64 SD cards, one after another? This is 1995-level clustering, you gotta PXE boot.

- noonespecial 14y agoCan RasPi's netboot? I honestly don't know. I still haven't gotten one yet. Still waiting since placing the order. The amazing thing about this project? Someone managed to get 64 RasPi's all in the same place!
- sitkack 14y agoThey cannot netboot. The bootloader is crap.
- jff 14y agoUgh. It's the same with the Efika MX hardware, otherwise nice systems, made incredibly painful by the lack of 1970s technology.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoWell to be explicit, the cannot netboot directly. I've built a u-boot that boots from the network via NFS on other arm based systems. You still need an MMC card to start it all off but once you get the network boot loader loaded and running you can do what ever you want. I started with some code for the Pandaboard that used that trick to boot from a USB attached drive.
- sitkack 14y agoI will have to look into this, http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot on the raspberry pi.
