Recalbox on NVMe/Can't boot from anything else

[WhiteAngelDoubs]

Hello there,

I am the proud owner of an RPI 5 8GB (with an ARGON ONE v3 case) running Recalbox 9.2.3 from the NVMe SSD. I seem to have the latest bootloader ("CURRENT: Thu Dec 19 11:57:13 UTC 2024 (1734609433)") and I installed Recalbox with Raspberry Pi OS (from a USB drive) and Raspberry Pi Imager. Before I boot on my freshly installed recalbox, I made sure that USB was my primary boot option (in raspi-config) but now that recalbox is running, the BOOT_ORDER seems to be back to what seems to be the default setup, 0xf461 and raspi-config does not seem to be supported in recalbox. I tried "rpi-eeprom-config -edit" but then I get this:

*** To cancel this update run 'sudo rpi-eeprom-update -r' ***
 
*** CREATED UPDATE /tmp/tmp5kgfiisq/pieeprom.upd  ***
 
   CURRENT: Thu Dec 19 11:57:13 UTC 2024 (1734609433)
    UPDATE: Sat Apr 20 10:53:30 UTC 2024 (1713610410)
    BOOTFS: /boot
ERROR: rpi-eeprom-update -d -i -f /tmp/tmp5kgfiisq/pieeprom.upd failed: 1

Note: the "space bar" trick while booting does not work for me either. No boot menu, it goes straight to booting Recalbox.

I want to use NVMe as my Recabox drive since I almost exclusively use my Pi for that purpose. But sometimes, I just want to be able to use my USB drive to run Raspberry Pi OS.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

Note: I found one thread that mentioned something about renaming the config.txt but I tried and it will not allow it. I have no other solutions so far... There must be a way to update the boot order in recalbox, right?

[WhiteAngelDoubs]

Is my question so stupid that no one wants to answer it? Or it is the contrary, it is a real tricky one?

[WhiteAngelDoubs]

Sorry for this, I need this to be visible so, up!

Hello,

I let confirm if necessary, but I don't think Argon One for PI5 is compatible with Recalbox.
If it's true, it can explain why it's not working.

[WhiteAngelDoubs]

Hey @Magaki, thank you for response. It is true that the case is not technically compatible, so I am losing on the cooling feature, the remote control and the power on button for the moment. However, I have my doubts on the fact that it has anything to do with the problem I am experiencing. Could you elaborate your reasoning?

[Magaki]

I'm not behind development of working for compatibility with stuff.
I'll let right people answer to you.
