Beginners • Re: Raspberry Pi 5 - Unable to boot from NVME

for the pi4 and pi5(when not using flashrom mode), the new eeprom image is put onto the fat32 partition, and the whole system is rebooted (clearing the cache)

flashrom reports sucess.

flashrom mode lets you re-flash the eeprom without the reboot, it was originally an option on the pi4, but it conflicted with analog audio and was deleted
due to changes on the pi5, flashrom mode has returned, and i believe its the default now (forgot the default changed)

But rpi-eeprom-config doesn't show the change until after the next boot.

because the firmware stores a copy of the config in ram at boot
and the firmware wont notice the changes have occured, until after a reboot
