# Raspberry Pi4 bootloader EEPROM release notes
22

3+
## 2020-03-11 Add 2020-03-04 beta firmware recovery
4+
* Support static IP address configuration. The following fields may be
5+
set manually using dotted decimal address. If set, then DHCP if skipped.
6+
* CLIENT_IP
7+
* SUBNET
8+
* GATEWAY
9+
* TFTP_IP
10+
* If a fatal bootloader occurs then a HDMI diagnostics screen is displayed
11+
at VGA/DVI resolution on both monitors for two minutes. This may be
12+
disabled by setting DISABLE_HDMI=1 in the EEPROM configuration OR
13+
setting display_splash=1 in config.txt.
14+
* Allow the PXE menu option to match a custom string specified by
15+
PXE_OPTION43. The default is still "Raspberry Pi Boot"
16+
* DHCP_OPTION97 - The default GUID has now changed to
17+
RPI4+BOARD_ID+ETH_MAC_LSB+SERIAL in order to make it easier to
18+
automatically identify Raspberry Pi computers. The old behaviour
19+
is enabled by setting DHCP_OPTION97=0 which simply repeats the serial
20+
number 4 times.
21+
* SELF_UPDATE. If SELF_UPDATE is set to 1 in the EEPROM configration AND
22+
config.txt contains bootloader_update=1 then the bootloader will looking
23+
for pieeprom.upd and vl805.bin and apply these firmware files if
24+
they are different to current image before doing a watchdog reset.
25+
This should make it easier to update the bootloader for network
26+
booted setups because an sd-card is not required for recovery.bin.
27+
As usual, TFTP should only be used on private networks because the
28+
protocol is not secure against spoofing.

* Remove the dependency check for the vl805 utility. This is deprecated
532
and there is no 64-bit version. The file is still available in Github
