Important! Increases the USB current limit to 1.6A

By default, USB boot is not enabled with a 3A power supply or some third-party USB-PD capable power supply. If you are using a power supply that cannot provide 5A at +5V or not compatible, the current draw to USB peripherals will be restricted to 600mA and it might affect USB booting or cannot provide enough power to your hard drives and SSDs .


It is required that increases the USB current limit for peripherals to 1.6A by setting usb_max_current_enable=1 in the /boot/firmware/config.txt file will override this and enable USB boot with a lower wattage power supply.
