Description Daniel Riek 2021-11-16 13:20:05 UTC

Regular Fedora 35 on a Raspberri Pi 4 will update the firmware to the latest installed version from the bcm283x-firmware package.

Fedora IoT does not do that.


F35-Server:
# head -2 /etc/os-release 
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="35 (Server Edition)"
# rpm -q bcm283x-firmware
bcm283x-firmware-20210930-1.b5257da.fc35.aarch64
# dmesg | grep raspberrypi-firm                                                          
[    4.620327] raspberrypi-firmware soc:firmware: Attached to firmware from 2021-09-30T19:21:54

F35-IoT:
# head -2 /etc/os-release
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="35.20211108.0 (IoT Edition)"
# rpm -q bcm283x-firmware
bcm283x-firmware-20210930-1.b5257da.fc35.aarch64
# dmesg | grep raspberrypi-firmware
[    3.458465] raspberrypi-firmware soc:firmware: Attached to firmware from 2020-07-13T13:55:18

That should be the same behavior in both cases.

Comment 1 Peter Robinson 2021-11-16 13:55:28 UTC

Yes, this is known because of the way ostree deals with the EFI partition. It doesn't upgrade grub2 either. So it's actually working as expected currently. The CoreOS team has been working on a tool that deals with this but it wasn't really stable the last I looked, I think it is now so we'll likely need to explicitly add the support for updating rpi firmware to that tool too.
