 # Raspberry Pi4 bootloader EEPROM release notes
 
+## 2020-06-03 Bootmode tweaks and fix issue with > 4TB drives - BETA
+   * Resolve: Unable to boot from USB MSD - Seagate 5Tb HDD backup drive #139
+   * Increase USB MSD timeout from 10 to 20 seconds.
+   * Max retries now default to zero because the default BOOT_ORDER includes
+     restart (0xf). Therefore, each boot-mode is now tried once before moving
+     to the next mode. The retries mechanism is largely redudant now that
+     the loop/restart mode exists.
+   * If TFTP fails and network boot retries > 0 then wait 5 seconds before
+     retrying to avoid overloading a misconfigured TFTP server.
+   * Map undefined boot-modes in BOOT_ORDER to SD (0x1) instead of stopping.
+   * Add missing pieeprom-2020-05-28
+
+## 2020-05-28 Secondary fix for VL805 readback issue - BETA
+    * Re-upload 2020-05-28 after Git issue
+    * rpi-eeprom-update for new board revisions
+
 ## 2020-05-27 Fix DPI issue - BETA
     * Resolve: DPI failure after HDMI diagnostics screen in beta bootloader #133

+# rpi-eeprom releases
+This page provides links to the production and development release images for the Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader EEPROM. Normally, the 
+bootloader is automatically updated after an APT update via the [rpi-eeprom-update](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/booteeprom.md)
+utility. However, it's sometimes more convenient to use a recovery image to program the EEPROM with default settings for a given release than 
+updating via Linux.
+
+## Recovery Image
+The latest production recovery image is [2020-04-16](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/releases/tag/v2020.04.16-137ad). This
+is the version selected by the [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)
+
+## USB MSD BETA
+The latest USB mass storage boot **BETA** recovery image is [2020-05-28](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/releases/tag/v2020.05.28-137ad)
+
+## Previous releases
+All [previous releases](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/releases) are available here.
+
+## Old EEPROM images
+Recovery images are only created for production images or for major test releases e.g. USB MSD boot. Old bootloader images are periodically
+removed from the APT package to reduce the disk space. The binaries can still be downloaded from Github [here](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/tree/master/firmware/old)
+but are not supported and may fail to boot on newer revisions of the hardware.
+e.g. The Pi 4 8GB requries bootloader version 2020-04-16 or newer.
