Missing instructions on how to upgrade TF-A/U-Boot to newer versions.

[hrw]

I installed OpenWRT on E8450 in 2021. Used installer 0.5.3 (looking at TF-A 2.4 + U-Boot 2021.04 versions).

Device refuses to upgrade from 23.05.2 -> 23.05.3 and I started to wonder do I need to update bootloaders.

But your docs say "vendor FW -> OpenWRT" and vice-versa only.

Please add instructions on how to update bootloaders.

I guess we just need to revert to original firmware and then install openwrt again

There should be also a way to do it without going to vendor firmware.

Yes, I've just found it. You can find the details in the comments on the commit from the dev branch that introduces the fip on ubi change for this device
