Booting multiple RPis in Parallel about usbboot HOT 5 CLOSED

You'd need to rewrite rpiboot to run a new thread for each device as it enumerates, then each thread runs the same bit of code

from usbboot.

With #66 you could also run rpiboot for each Pi you want to boot or use the existing -1/-2/etc. option if the port numbers aren't repeated (as they are on the 3B+).

I wonder if https://github.com/balena-io-modules/node-raspberrypi-usbboot might have better threading support? (although I've no idea if it'll be possible to adapt it to support your scenario)

another issue ive found a potential solution to by accident
webusb is entirely event driven, so one thread can manage multiple devices at once

webusbboot has been confirmed to be able to:

• reflash the rpi4b eeprom (both with recovery.bin, and eeprom self-reflash)
• boot into VPU MSD mode (with msd/start4.elf)
• boot into linux MSD mode (tested with nixos-msd but others should work too)

it works on linux (even android), windows has general webusb issues, darwin untested
