Can not reflash EEPROM

I mean what I get in raspbian buster is 2020-01-17.

Does the upgrade/eeprom wirte does not work because it is the same version, or because I do not boot from SD card?

thank you

Suspect it would have been safer to use 0x21 and just leave the SD card /out/ to cause failover to the network.

Best I could find is:

No it is definitely 0x2

and yes, I read this before posting, the card is ignored with 0x2 and from the nfsroot I could not overwrite the eeprom. I guess and hope it is because it checks the version. I will try with the 2020-02 rom this evening - lets hope it will do the trick.

For the future I'll know to set 0x21 and remove the card - saves some headache.

thanks BTW

I'm afraid someone with more knowledge than I have would need to chime in.

Thank you and I hope some one will shed light.

It turned out that the card to boot from must be inserted when updating/writing the eeprom. I hope this helps someone in future.

That would seem to have been rather explicit in the article I'd referenced earlier... That the boot sequence checks the SD card for recovery.bin /before/ checking the EEPROM for boot sequence. If the SD card wasn't there, booting would move immediately to the EEPROM sequence.

Hi, yes I read this and it gave me the clue.

thanks
