Update issue #35

Closed rande83 closed 2 months ago

rande83 commented 2 months ago

Hi.

If I want to perform the update I always get the following output:

*** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom *** Performing self-update *** Relaunching after update *** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom FW_REV:633bfbd33d0b6434ea18155217a11e8bd3252f6d BOOTLOADER_REV:2bfd7cb74e6bc16559e040d0f5d788a4411819e4 rpi-eeprom firmware package appears to be too old. Skipping bootloader updates WANT_32BIT:1 WANT_64BIT:0 WANT_PI4:1 WANT_PI5:0 Partition size 66M may not be sufficient for all firmware files This could result in a system that will not boot. 256M FAT partition is recommended. Ensure you have a backup if continuing. Would you like to proceed? (y/N)

How can I solve this to "safely" run the update?

Many thanks in advance.

Partition a new card and copy the files over?

rande83 commented 2 months ago

I've at least 3,4GB free space on the card... So it seems to be not a full SD-card..

You've had one answer, which you don't like. This is not a help forum.

rande83 commented 2 months ago

Sorry that I am not a pro. You gave me a question, not an answer. I didn't say I didn't like your answer. I was just trying to give information that I know. You can solve something like that in a nicer way! Thanks for your time though.

Your SD card has (at least) 2 partitions:

Partition size 66M may not be sufficient for all firmware files This could result in a system that will not boot. 256M FAT partition is recommended.

is telling you that the FAT partition is only 66MB, which may be insufficient. As pelwell has said, you need to resize that partition in order to resolve the issue. If you mount the SD card on another Linux system, you should be able to use gparted or similar to reduce the the ext4 partition in size and enlarge the FAT one.

Thank you very much for your answer and the very clear explanation.

Now I have understood and will try to enlarge this partition.

I now also understand that the problem is of course not with you, but only with my system.

Of course this is not a help forum as pelwell already wrote, I had already searched the internet before, but unfortunately found nothing. That's why I didn't know how to help myself and thought it might belong here. Sorry for that.

Thanks again and all the best!
