The value of the `boot_arg1` variable when the OS was started can be read via xref:configuration.adoc#part4[device-tree] at `/proc/device-tree/chosen/bootloader/arg1`

==== `bootvar0`
Raspberry Pi 5 and newer devices only.

The `bootvar0` variable is a 32-bit user-defined value that is set through `rpi-eeprom-config`, and then can be used as a conditional variable in `config.txt`.

For example, setting `bootvar0` to 42 via `rpi-eeprom-config`:
[source,ini]
----
BOOTVAR0=42
----

Using `bootvar0` conditionally in `config.txt`:
[source,ini]
----
[bootvar0=42]
arm_freq=1000
----

This allows a common image (that is, with the same `config.txt` file) to support different configurations based on the persistent `rpi-eeprom-config` settings.

==== `boot_count`
Raspberry Pi 5 and newer devices only.
