2 | 2 |
|
| 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. |
| 29 | + |
3 | 30 | ## 2020-02-27 rpi-eeprom-update & firmware |
4 | 31 | * Remove the dependency check for the vl805 utility. This is deprecated |
5 | 32 | and there is no 64-bit version. The file is still available in Github |
