I've a couple RPi's that need bootcode.bin on the microSD to boot from USB. Formerly I could download it by visiting

and clicking on the link

Lately, that takes me to

formatting link

displays as an empty frame on the right of the window. Clicking on the icon for bootcode.bin in the left-hand frame doesn't change the display and doesn't start a download.

I'm using a recent RasPiOS system with the chromium browser for this, all updating using apt, so if anything should work, this should.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for reading,

Click on the 'raw' button, which leads to:

and your browser should download that. Or wget it:

$ wget
