The tool was removed because for Pi4/Pi400 the VL805 update is now
handled by the bootloader. However, this might still be be useful
for anyone who is developing a custom VL805 board with an SPI EEPROM
and needs a mechanism to flash this.
Self-update is preferred to using recovery.bin because it avoids modifiy the
boot partition in order to rename recovery.bin after use. Since the 2711 ROM
does not support network or USB MSD loading of recovery.bin self-update has to
be used with other boot modes anyway.
If RPI_EEPROM_SELF_UPDATE=1 then avoid installing recovery.bin so long as the
current bootloader version supports self-update from SD/MMC and that doesn't
look as though SELF_UPDATE has been disable in the EEPROM config.
Enable Network Install in the default bootloader release.
This release is signed with the secure-boot key and supports
the new HTTP boot-order for downloading signed boot images for
automated provisioning systems.
* Fix netboot reboot failure on Pi 4B R1.1 if OS enables IDDQ power saving
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/417
* Fix incorrect error code (configuration error) on EEPROM update failure.
* Enable more verbose errors for EEPROM update failures
* Includes new net install feature, enabled by default for Pi 4 and Pi 400
* New net install download screen may appear on boot if a boot location can't
be found or if boot is slow. Alternative press and hold shift on boot to
start net install.
* New HTTP boot order.
* Bootloader diagnosis screen is now 720p if supported by your monitor.
* Self update mode is now enabled during SD/EMMC boot.
* The PARTITION number can now be specified as an EEPROM property.
* Allow smaller MSD discovery timeouts to be specified.
* Some tweaks and fixes to IPV6 netboot.
* Increase the max ramdisk size to 128MB
* Increase timeout of early SD/EMMC commands to 100ms
Net install changes.
* Net install is initiated on boot if shift is pressed.
* New HTTP boot order (7) and configuration parameters,
HTTP_HOST, HTTP_PATH, HTTP_PORT to set url
Other interesting changes.
* Increase the max ramdisk size to 128MB
* Increase timeout of early SD/EMMC commands to 100ms
Net install changes.
* Got rid of confirmation step that required you to press <Space> to
initiate net install. Now just long press <Shift>
* Updated the screen text to make it more obvious the device is still
trying boot when the net install is showing.
* Fixed a DHCP net install bug which caused us to lose the
gateway address.
* Fixed a bug with the uIP timers which could cause net install to
always fail.
* Implemented resume and retry on download failure.
Other interesting changes.
* Allow smaller MSD discovery timeouts to be specified.
* Some tweaks and fixes to IPV6 netboot.
