eeprom latest < current version :D

  • Hey guys,

    I was running libreelec v9.2.1 on 000137ad on RPY4 with usb m.2 drive

    I udapted libreelec to v9.2.5 (over ui on the tv) and still and when I run rpi-eeprom-update it showed that the current and latest V of eeprom is 000137ad

    I found on this forum that I can run `FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS=stable rpi-eeprom-update -a` to update it and it went well except is now shows this:

    Code
    BCM2711 detected
    Dedicated VL805 EEPROM detected
    BOOTLOADER: up-to-date
    CURRENT: Thu Jul 16 15:15:46 UTC 2020 (1594912546)
     LATEST: Thu Apr 16 17:11:26 UTC 2020 (1587057086)
     FW DIR: /usr/lib/kernel-overlays/base/lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/critical
    VL805: up-to-date
    CURRENT: 000138a1
     LATEST: 000137ad

    should I update something else so that the latest version show the current latest version?

    Thanks!

  • If you just ran "rpi-eeprom-update" (without "FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS=stable") then this output is expected.

    You previously updated to the stable version (Jul 16 bootloader, 000138a1 VL805) and this is shown as "CURRENT". But rpi-eeprom-updates checks latest in critical (unless you set the release status info) so LATEST shows the available critical versions from the LE image (Apr 16 bootloader, 000137ad VL805).

    so long,

  • Just leave it, it's fine.

    We provide stable firmwares just as a convenience for advanced users, if you want to track newer firmware versions that were released after the LE release it's easiest to do that with RaspiOS/Raspbian or download them manually from the rpi-eeprom gitub repo.

    so long,

    Hias
