[PROBLEM] Power and Activity LEDs activate after every update

[Tim Curtis]

Hi Tim,

The problem model is:

Pi-4B 1.5 2GB

I have two other installations that do not have the problem:

Pi-4B 1.1 2GB
Pi-4B 1.5 4GB

This has consistently happened in every update since it was first reported.

I hope this helps - it looks baffling to me!

I don't have that particular model (Pi-4B 1.5 2GB) but maybe another user with that model will be able to reproduce the issue and provide some insights as to what might be happening.

The curious thing is that there are TWO Pi-4B 1.5... only difference is the ram size; indeed baffling.

Pi 4B and higher hold firmware in their eeprom as well as in files. It’s possible there is an immutable piece too. I don’t know which piece does what.

I’m guessing the firmware version(s) are different on his two boards. There’s rpi-update and there’s rpi-eeprom-update which seem obvious in their functionality on the face of it. I’m away from home and can’t check that they or their equivalent are a part of the moOde update procedure.

Kent
