Official Raspberry Pi tooling of shell scripts and pre-compiled binaries for updating and configuring the bootloader EEPROM on Raspberry Pi 4, 400, CM4/CM4S, Pi 5, 500, and CM5 boards. It includes the rpi-eeprom-update end-user updater, rpi-eeprom-config for editing bootloader configuration, and signing tools for secure boot.

Use cases

• update the bootloader firmware on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5
• edit the bootloader configuration of an installed EEPROM image
• set up secure boot with signed EEPROM images on Raspberry Pi
• configure network or USB boot on a Compute Module 4
• generate signature files for verified boot payloads
• stage firmware updates that flash at next reboot

When to choose

• you maintain Raspberry Pi OS or a derivative and need bootloader EEPROM updates
• you are preparing custom or signed EEPROM images for Pi 4/5 family hardware
• you need to change boot order or boot mode settings on a Pi

When to avoid

• you need to flash firmware on non-Raspberry-Pi hardware
• you want a graphical firmware updater rather than shell scripts
• you are working with older Raspberry Pi models (Pi 1-3) that lack EEPROM bootloaders
