misc/raspberrypi-usbboot - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Raspberry Pi USB device boot

This contains the Raspberry Pi USB device boot software known as rpiboot. The
rpiboot tool provides a file server for loading software into memory on a
Raspberry Pi for provisioning. By default, it boots the device with firmware
that makes it appear to the host as a USB mass-storage device. The host
operating system then treats it as a standard USB drive, allowing the filesystem
to be accessed. An operating system image can be written to the device using the
Raspberry Pi Imager.

On Compute Module 4 and newer devices, rpiboot is also used to update the
bootloader SPI flash EEPROM.
