Rpi-eeprom update on Pi2 ?

It's just a package in the standard RPi distro. It'll get updated to a new version which does nothing on your hardware, just like the previous version did nothing.

Some of the things you might plug in might have eeprom.

I think its like the old days of having PC cards with bios extensions

-- Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

Those are a different thing.

See ...

Ah Ok. That makes sense then

Full explanation here:

-- “it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”

A quick (and somewhat uncomprehending) look at github suggests the effect is confined to the Pi4 and Pi5.

I was wondering if rpi-eeprom might also effect part of the boot process on older Raspberry Pi boards. Not strictly eeprom code, but maybe extending to the DOS materials like bootcode.bin. It's understood there's no hardware equivalence, but there might be some functional equivalence.

Those live in the firmware, which is stored in the raspi-firmware binary package:

It's the same distro and can run on any pi so it keeps everything up to date whether needed or not.

So sensible and sane its probably true...
