I flipped the boot mode switch inside the device. But when I attempt to mount the device as external storage it fails to mount (On both Linux [Arch] and Windows 11…). Initially I thought it was related to my Linux environment however the same exact issue persists on Windows. The device’s eMMC storage never mounts to the filesystem. Which in turn blocks me from being able to flash the device…
In Windows I can see BMC2711 Boot appear under Universal Serial Bus devices inside of Device Manager. If I run rpiboot that entry disappears from Device Manager and I can see that the rpiboot tool interacted with the reTerminal.
RPIBOOT: build-date Apr 27 2022 version 20220427~095022 0414c9c9
Waiting for BCM2835/6/7/2711…
Loading embedded: bootcode4.bin
Sending bootcode.bin
Successful read 4 bytes
Waiting for BCM2835/6/7/2711…
However the storage media still does not mount. I also noticed that the device’s system light doesn’t blink without the rpiboot tool.
This behavior is exactly the same on Linux. I can see the above stated output from the rpiboot tool. But the device never mounts it’s eMMC storage to the filesystem.
I see the following logs in dmesg
[ 6617.087520] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd

I am at a loss here. Hopefully someone has some ideas on how to move forward. Perhaps some code changed somewhere? Anyhow. Any input into this situation is much appreciated.
