I currently have an Odroid n2 for a couple years with dietpi running and an external hdd with the userdata. It was a good setup for 2 years but now I was looking to setup my device to boot and run from the hdd without the need for a micro sd card for performance and reliability concerns. After long research and alot of googling I was unsuccessful in booting directly from the drive. So my question is, is there a list of sbcs that we know of that do support booting DietPi directly from an SSD/HDD without the need for a micro sd card. As I will looking to purchase something with that capability. Thanks.
For reference i attempted to follow James A. Chamber’s Odroid ns guide located here: ODROID N2+ Petitboot SSD Boot Guide - James A. Chambers . And while research came across alot of issues with ssd booting on the Dietpi github, i understand its a work in progress. Maybe we can make a list of comparing which Sbcs support SSD/HDD/M.2 booting with dietpi, if there isnt already, with tutorials and guides attached contributed by the community, for the community.
