Raspberry Pi Master Firmware zip file contents, 248MB size

 Raspberry Pi Master Firmware zip file contents,  248MB size

https://github.com/raspberrypi     Various Raspberry Pi software files to download.

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware   Raspberry Pi Firmware files, here.

 Download the rpi5-uefi boot files from rpi5-uefi downloads https://github.com/worproject/rpi5-uefi/releases  version 0.3  https://github.com/worproject/rpi5-uefi/releases/download/v0.3/RPi5_UEFI_Release_v0.3.zip

  • Unzip the RPi5_UEFI_Release_X.Y.zip file  version 0.3 RPi5_UEFI_Release_v0.3.zip
  • Copy the unzipped contents to the root of the USB stick. Plug the USB stick into the Raspberry Pi.  I used a linux gparted GUI application to make a GPT scheme on that USB Flash Disk drive stick. Then create primary first partition MSDOS FAT32 formatted file system to copy over all the files into.  Can use FreeBSD  commands to create USB MSDOS FAT32 file system in the first partition 
  • # WIPE THE PLATTER
gpart destroy -F da0
    gpart -s MBR /dev/da0  
    
# FORMAT IT MSDOS STYLE (fat32)
newfs_msdos -F32 /dev/da0s1
  •    https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/gpart-cheatsheet-wiping-drives-partitioning-formating.45411/ 
  • Connect an ethernet cable to one of the USB ports with the USB to ethernet cable.   Nintendo Switch Wired Internet LAN Adapter  NSW-004U  UPC #   8 73124  00606 3
  • Turn on the Raspberry Pi.

    •  

     Table on FreeBSD CLI commands to make a MSDOS FAT32 primary partition

    MSDOS style partitioning scheme:

    Code: 
    # WIPE THE PLATTER
gpart destroy -F da0

# PLACE A BLANK PARTITION ON IT
gpart create -s mbr da0

# FILL THE MSDOS PARTITION
gpart add -t \!12 da0

# FORMAT IT MSDOS STYLE (fat32)
newfs_msdos -F32 /dev/da0s1
    Again, the above was for SCSI, and external USB platters. Simply replace the dev() with the correct one for your system.
