BOOTLOADER UPDATE and CONF this will update the bootloader binary (e.g. to support NVMe and HTTP boot), and configure the boot order

Requirements:

1. install usbboot

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot\ cd usbboot
make

2. prepare latest eprom and set boot order

cd recovery nano boot.conf

boot.conf should contain the following

ENABLE_UART=1\

BOOT_CONF=0xf216
