How to update eeprom firmware

NOTE: If you find that there is no WIFI or can not boot from nvme ssd after restarting, you can try this part of the update, otherwise please ignore it.

After modifying the BOOT_ORDER for NVME SSD, reboot the PI5 and you maybe get the NO WIFI or other error. Try to upgrade the eeprom to fix it (Raspberry Pi Foundation official may upgrade the OS to solve this kind of problem, please pay attention to the update of Raspberry Pi OS, if the OS upgrade can solve this problem, you can ignore this step).

Run the following command to 

wget https://github.com/timg236/rpi-eeprom/raw/pieeprom-2023-10-30-2712/firmware-2712/default/pieeprom-2023-10-30.bin 
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit pieeprom-2023-10-30.bin

Or click File:Pieeprom-2023-10-30.zip download then unzip it to get pieeprom-2023-10-30.bin file

It is recommended to use the latest version of the pieeprom-xxxx-xx-xx.bin file, please visit this link to get the latest version:

PS: After our testing, we found that only the firmware piepprom-2023-10-30.bin has solved the NO WIFI problem for the time being.

I did the as the instruction says, but getting error. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a

Not sure how to get around this problem: /usr/bin/rpi-eeprom-digest: 92: cannot create /boot/firmware/pieeprom.sig: Read-only file system


I am running the latest Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit, a X1001 with a 1TB 2280 SSD and mSD is not inserted so the Pi5 starts and runs from the SSD.

Have also been trying to set the eeprom for low power consumption when in stand by mode: sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0 Change to POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1

Also here I get the same Read-only file system. So it looks like Raspberry Pi OS is write protecting settings like the eeprom.

Any suggestions?

Changed the line in /etc/fstab to rw instead of ro. It might also be possible to completely remove ro/rw and leave blank.

sudo nano /etc/fstab

After RPI imager wrote Ubuntu to 1TB SSD, X1001 hat(New version) is not responding anymore. SDD is working fine with other hat.

sudo lsblk isn't showing the X1003 or the 2230 m-keyed m.2 nvme 512GB kingspec storage i added. neither is sudo lspci. i added the required lines to my raspberry pi 5b /boot/firmware/config.txt file and rebooted. EEPROM claims to be at the latest accordin to sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a . Pretty disappointed. Everything was VERy carefully installed.

BOOTLOADER: up to date CURRENT: Mon Sep 25 10:44:03 UTC 2023 (1695638643) LATEST: Mon Sep 25 10:44:03 UTC 2023 (1695638643)

RELEASE: default (/lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader-2712/default)

Hi, 

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a

1. above commad will update the bootloader to the last versin;

2. Run the lspci to check the ssd controler manufator. and the Phison controler is incompatible.
