Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

@dualfuel As I recall when I did mine to get the new SDD boot support it was fairly straightforward, but do a search on something like boot a pi4 from usb to find the thread on install a new eeprom.

Lol, that was the point of asking for the link...so I don't have to search. That's why I am here. I post what I have so others don't have to look so hard. There are endless rabbit holes to fall down and only so much time before I am deprecated.

@dualfuel sudo apt full-upgrade for a full upgrade, just sudo rpi-eeprom-update for only the eeprom. Lot's of YT's showing this. I recommend a full-upgrade.

@duce-robot Remember to remove the SD card so it picks up the SSD or HDD. There is a setting somewhere to tell the firmware to boot from SSD or card first but if only one is in it doesn't matter.

@zander I didn't seem to have a problem I flashed the eprom image to a card put it in turned on the pi the green light flashed rapidly the screen turned green I turned off pi removed sd put in another newly flashed card with debian buster turned it on and it took a minute but it booted and worked well also I did this with another pi 4 I thought for sure I roasted and it worked as well 😁👍if I run in to any issues I'll chime in.
