@peterharperuk I've seen a number of forum posts where the user is running usbboot on a CM4 as a way of enabling NVME booting. The documentation here does not make it clear that usbboot/rpiboot must be run on a separate computer Pi/PC/MAC in order to update the CM4 boot EEPROM.

Thanks @pelwell. I haven't noticed these threads I'm afraid - which part of the forum should I be keeping an eye on? I've pushed a change that adds some clarification.

They end up in the Compute Module forum most of the time, e.g. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=315291, but there was one on GitHub: raspberrypi/usbboot#82

@peterharperuk Looks like you've pushed the change to your fork of the documentation - do you want to PR it here too? 😉

…do you want to PR it here too?

If you do @peterharperuk sooner is better, I'll probably be freezing the current Markdown-based documentation at the end of the week (see #1911 for details of what's going on there).
