 |
|
Hi,
here
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi4_64_Bit_Install
(search for "EEProm updates") I found the package
| Code: | | dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom |
which links to
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom
which again says, that the Gentoo repo is outdated, one should use the last
version upstream
But the upstream link shown there
[url]https://github.com/ raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom[/url]
is dead (404).
If rpi-eeprom itsself is still in use to update the firmware and such on my RPI
(I have my doubts...)....where can I get it?
And if it is not...what is the current method of updateing the firmware/the kernel/the video
stuff with GENTOO on a Raspberry 4 (64bit)?
Is the stuff under /opt (vcgemcmd and friends) included?
Cheers!

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Gentoo on ARM.

I can't help you with the real problem but this return 404 because you have a space in the url, correct url is https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom

northfrisia,
On the Raspberry Pi the term firmware has two meanings.
The first meaning is all the Pi Foundation files in boot. The start*, fixup* and bootcode.bin.
The *.dto and *.dtb might be included as they were distributed in the same way but they are properly a part of the kernel and the kernel build process creates them.
You should use the *.dto and *.dtb from your kernel build process.
| Code: | | emerge sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware |
With the Pi 4, the second meaning started. The Pi4 has firmware that takes the place of bootcode.bin to configure the hardware.
| Code: | | emerge dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom |
This depends on media-libs/raspberrypi-userland, which provides vcgemcmd and friends. On 64 bit not all of it builds, so you only get the bits that build.

Hi fedeliallalinea,
Thanks for the "clean link" !
The space is included in the URL given on that Gentoo-page, too.
My text was a copy'n'paste of that URL...
Cheers!

Hi NeddySeagoon,
thanks a lot for the clearification!
...I am still unsure, what I need to update the boatloader...?...?...
(You didn't mentioned it explicitly...
Cheers!

northfrisia,
I can't find that error on the wiki page. Did you fix it ?
If not, provide some context and I will.

Hi NeddySeagoon,
the page is
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom
And following the link after
"Upstream: ....."
in the table "Package Metadata" contains a space between '....github.com/' and 'raspberry....'.
At least here.. 
Cheers!

northfrisia,
That link is on packages.gentoo.org which is all automatically generated.
It looks like an error in /usr/portage/dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom/metadata.xml
There is an extra space in | Code: | | <remote-id type="github"> raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom</remote-id> |
I can't fix the ::gentoo repo. You should file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org.
