  Hi All

  I struggled with setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 "boot from SSD" system. I now have 4 "systems" running on Ubuntu Arm64 20.10 with the X825 SSD board, X735 power board enclosed in a X825-C6 case with momentary switch.

  I have documented the process I used from updating the bootloader to installing ubuntu 20.10 in this document:

  You are welcome to download and use. Any comments can be emailed to be.
