The beta release with supports network boot is now stable enough
for most configurations. This is now frozen except for major bugs
in order to allow more experimental features to be released as
beta.
Added extra clarification for the beta `.bin` file, removing the static date from the command, as plenty of people would definitely copy/paste that blindly without realizing there are multiple versions in that directory. (Me being one of those people)
* Option to restrict automatic updates to bootloader and/or vl805
* Change the machine mode output variables
* recovery.bin: Rebuild from Gitlab
* Rename CURRENT_TS and LATEST_TS in machine output
* New beta recovery.bin which can update the VLI EEPROM before
start.elf is loaded. This is the recommended and default method
because no USB devices will be in use at this stage.
* Extend the USE_FLASHROM configuration to use the vl805 tool
to program the VL805 directly.
* Generate SHA256 checksums in .sig files for the bootloader and
and VL805 images. This is required by the new recovery.bin to
guard against corrupted files being flashed to the EEPROM(s).
* Various variable renames to distinguish between the bootloader
and the VL805 images.
This bootloader firmware is deprecated and should no longer be
included in the rpi-eeprom package. It's still available in the
Git history if anyone *really* wants this.
Select the recovery.bin to use according to FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS
in order to allow a beta test version of recovery.bin to be provided
without risking breaking the stable version of recovery.bin
Fix a bug which could cause the rename of recovery.bin to fail if
RECOVERY.000 (or higher number) existed and was the last root
directory entry in a FAT16 partition. This is unlikely be a problem
for most updates because the rpi-eeprom-update package removes the
renamed recovery.bin files when it runs.
