piCore15.0 Beta

Well for sure the easiest way to upgrade the firmware is to just download the firmware recovery image using rpi imager, put it on an empty sd card, boot it, then swap back.   If you have never done it, you may need to update the USB controller too.

The repo with firmware is here:   https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom

Its a little tricky due to dependencies, and where it expects to find the boot drive mounted.  But environment variables can adjust that.

raspi-utils, pciutils and python3 are dependancies.

Raspberry pi doesn't need and boot sector.

This is done for compatibility of the card inserted into any number of operating systems.   We have experimented in the past, and have had problems.

1) The official SDCard formatter tool puts the partition on sector 8192
2) RaspiOS puts the first partition on sector 8192
