Troubleshooting • Re: Raspberrypi 5 not booting directly when powered over GPiO

I've checked the bootloader code, and I can confirm that a button press is only required if doing a USB mass storage device boot AND no 25W PD-capable supply is detected AND usb_max_current_enable=1 is not set in config.txt AND it is a cold boot (not a reboot).

Using your config.txt with my SD card in a USB card reader and a lesser power supply, it still boots without hesitation - only if I comment out the last line does it wait for a button press.

Without a debug serial connector, diagnosis is more difficult, but I suggest attaching an HDMI display (if you haven't already), removing the SD card, and watching the display - it will eventually start showing diagnostic messages.

1. What is the Boot mode coming up as?
2. After a while, plug in the SD card, and watch the output - you should see it loading config.txt etc.

You may find it convenient to upload a video or series of photos of the boot process, using the trick of powering up without the boot medium to allow the display to wake up.
