Libreelec 10.0 Firmware is not updated

1st Official Post

    I wanted to update the EEPROM bootloader of my Raspi 4 from 2021-03-18 to 2021-04-29.

    After a system restart, however, I was offered the same thing. Now I don't know whether this worked or not.

    Normally, if it has worked, it should no longer be offered in the WIF.

    Even the latest recovery image from 2021-04-29 is outdated.

    LE does not check the latest bootloader / USB firmware version available online so the offer depends on the LE build.

    The latest stable RPi 4B bootloader is dated 2021-07-06.

    See here, there are commands to check the current versions installed and an update script which I am refreshing at intervals and it's now fresh:

    RE: Is it possible already to set up a rpi4 with kernel 5.4?

    To show the currently installed bootloader version / config:

    rpi-eeprom-update

    vcgencmd bootloader_version

    vcgencmd bootloader_config

    Make sure you have the HDD adapter powered properly (external power is best, although for SSD HDD it should not be necessary but depends on HDD model).

    BTW. em28xx is NOT the HDD adapter, this is your DVB-C/T USB stick (which may be also a bit power hungry)

    Regarding to newer kernel, you may try the latest test LE 9.80 Nightly build from today which already has 5.10.1…

    The version you can update to via the settings add-on menus is limited by what we have embedded into the image; which is the version we tested against that image. You can update independently via files if you want/need to. We will update the firmware as/when needed in our next maintenance release.

    LE includes the latest default and stable firmwares available when building the image. Settings addon checks against the default release train (same as RPiOS), if you want to track stable instead you can do that manually on the command line.

    so long,
