Hello forum,
I have a need to flash 40 CM4s with an image ~ 17gb (already shrunk w/ pishrink). Are are using the CM4 w/ a jumper on J2 + the usbboot / rpiboot utility to mount the CM4 on an Ubuntu machine, and using dd to flash the image to the CM4. Thus works just fine, but is much slower than flashing an SD card.
I've tried searching this forum as well as the internet looking for some information on any different approaches that might be faster, but I haven't found much data on this topic other than building a networking boot system and using Etcher. If anyone has any direct experience regarding an approach to increase the speed of flashing CM4s, I'd appreciate hearing about it!
Thx.
