The command "sudo rpi-eeprom-update" is used to update the firmware EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) on a Raspberry Pi.
Here is how the command works:
-
"sudo" is used to run the command with administrative privileges. This is required because updating the firmware usually requires elevated permissions.
-
"rpi-eeprom-update" is the actual command that updates the Raspberry Pi's EEPROM. It is a utility provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for managing the firmware EEPROM.
When you run this command, the system will check if there is a newer version of the firmware available, and if so, it will download and install it on the Raspberry Pi. This update process generally includes bug fixes, improvements, and new features.
