usage: rpi-eeprom-config [-h] [-a APPLY] [-c CONFIG] [-e] [-o OUT] [-d DIGEST] [-p PUBKEY] [-x] [-b BOOTCODE] [-t TIMESTAMP] [--cacertder CACERTDER] [--debug] [eeprom] Bootloader EEPROM configuration tool for the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5. Operating modes: 1. Outputs the current bootloader configuration to STDOUT if no arguments are specified OR the given output file if --out is specified. rpi-eeprom-config [--out boot.conf] 2. Extracts the configuration file from the given 'eeprom' file and outputs the result to STDOUT or the output file if --output is specified. rpi-eeprom-config pieeprom.bin [--out boot.conf] 3. Writes a new EEPROM image replacing the configuration file with the contents of the file specified by --config. rpi-eeprom-config --config boot.conf --out newimage.bin pieeprom.bin The new image file can be installed via rpi-eeprom-update sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f newimage.bin 4. Applies a given config file to an EEPROM image and invokes rpi-eeprom-update to schedule an update of the bootloader when the system is rebooted. Since this command launches rpi-eeprom-update to schedule the EEPROM update it must be run as root. sudo rpi-eeprom-config --apply boot.conf [pieeprom.bin] If the 'eeprom' argument is not specified then the latest available image is selected by calling 'rpi-eeprom-update -l'. 5. The '--edit' parameter behaves the same as '--apply' except that instead of applying a predefined configuration file a text editor is launched with the contents of the current EEPROM configuration. Since this command launches rpi-eeprom-update to schedule the EEPROM update it must be run as root. The configuration file will be taken from: * The blconfig reserved memory nvmem device * The cached bootloader configuration 'vcgencmd bootloader_config' * The current pending update - typically /boot/firmware/pieeprom.upd sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config --edit [pieeprom.bin] To cancel the pending update run 'sudo rpi-eeprom-update -r' The default text editor is nano and may be overridden by setting the 'EDITOR' environment variable and passing '-E' to 'sudo' to preserve the environment. 6. Signing the bootloader config file. Updates an EEPROM binary with a signed config file (created by rpi-eeprom-digest) plus the corresponding RSA public key. Requires Python Cryptodomex libraries and OpenSSL. To install on Raspberry Pi OS run:- sudo apt install python3-pycryptodome rpi-eeprom-digest -k private.pem -i bootconf.txt -o bootconf.sig rpi-eeprom-config --config bootconf.txt --digest bootconf.sig --pubkey public.pem --out pieeprom-signed.bin pieeprom.bin Currently, the signing process is a separate step so can't be used with the --edit or --apply modes. See 'rpi-eeprom-update -h' for more information about the available EEPROM images. positional arguments: eeprom Name of EEPROM file to use as input options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -a, --apply APPLY Updates the bootloader to the given config plus latest available EEPROM release. -c, --config CONFIG Name of bootloader configuration file -e, --edit Edit the current EEPROM config -o, --out OUT Name of output file -d, --digest DIGEST Signed boot only.
