I like this idea! It will probably be complicated to implement though since you'll always need to eject the uSD card and put it in the Pi (for now, unless of course you're using the sdwire). I would also think we want to be careful about automatically touching the SD card so we always know which one the user is planning to use with the Pi. And auto-formatting it may be a risky choice for the user for similar reasons. I am pretty certain that you can also boot the Pi over a network connection. I believe QNX used U-Boot for this ability over Ethernet on the Pi4B, but I don't fully remember. And there is also the ability to use a USB flash drive, I don't believe that requires extra support at all. If I remember correctly, the firmware will try to mount the SD card and if it can't, it will try to mount from USB next. I think there's also a config.txt option for making USB the default. In any case, network booting is probably the most convenient alternative to the SD card and would work well for NXDART. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
