Bug Description

rpi-eeprom upstream (13.12) includes several important changes. From the changelog:

* Support and bug fixes for all Compute Module variants.
* NVMe interoperability fixes
* FAT/GPT fixes and file-system performance improvements.
* Added secure-boot support for industrial applications
* Added ramdisk / boot.img - for RPIBOOT and secure-boot.

Furthermore, this release promoted the (previously beta) net-install capability to the stable firmware.

= FFe Justification =

The network install capability permits installation without the requirement for an additional machine (to flash the SD card). We have had this in the beta branch for testing for several months now, but upstream has only just promoted it to stable.

The secure-boot capability is also of major interest to both the Core and Classic images, particularly with regard to it being an LTS release.

The new firmware has been successfully tested several images on all Pi 4 and 400 models that we support (not tested on the 0, 2, or 3 as these models do not have the boot EEPROM).
