pieeprom-2025-06-29: 2712: Check for SD card overcurrent on Pi5 and Pi500 (latest)
* board_info: Use the Ethernet PHY address probed by the bootloader Use the Ethernet PHY address supplied by the bootloader in preference to the static configurations defined in start4.elf * pi5: Fix overwrite of cache EEPROM config in secure-boot mode See: #719 * Check for SD card overcurrent on Pi5, Pi500 and Pi4 Before booting, the bootloader now checks the SD power switch overcurrent signal. The overcurrent signal occurs if the SD card is damaged and has a short circuit which will cause it to get hot. If an over-current condition is detected the bootloader switches off power to the SD card and waits five seconds before probing the SD card again. This error is displayed on the diagnostic screen, the UART and the activity LED (1 long, 2 short) flashes. The check can be switched to a non-blocking warning by setting SD_OVERCURRENT_CHECK=0 in the bootloader config. * Add a new error code pattern for SD overcurrent Add a new error pattern (1 long, 2 short) to signal SD card overcurrent. * Enable RTC wakeup from POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0 * Improve HAT+ current handling In shipping firmware, the current_supply value is only being used in the case of a normal (non-stacked) HAT+, but that is unnecessarily restrictive. Also, the presence of MODE0 and MODE1 power HATs is not reflected in the value of max_current. See: raspberrypi/linux#6678

* Check for SD card overcurrent on Pi5, Pi500 and Pi4

Before booting, the bootloader now checks the SD power switch
12+
overcurrent signal. The overcurrent signal occurs if the SD
13+
card is damaged and has a short circuit which will cause it to
14+
get hot.
15+
If an over-current condition is detected the bootloader
16+
switches off power to the SD card and waits five seconds before
17+
probing the SD card again. This error is displayed on the
18+
diagnostic screen, the UART and the activity LED (1 long, 2 short)
19+
flashes.
20+
The check can be switched to a non-blocking warning by setting
21+
SD_OVERCURRENT_CHECK=0 in the bootloader config.
22+
* Add a new error code pattern for SD overcurrent
23+
Add a new error pattern (1 long, 2 short) to signal SD card
24+
overcurrent.
25+
* Enable RTC wakeup from POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
26+
* Improve HAT+ current handling
27+
In shipping firmware, the current_supply value is only being used in the
28+
case of a normal (non-stacked) HAT+, but that is unnecessarily
29+
restrictive. Also, the presence of MODE0 and MODE1 power HATs is not
30+
reflected in the value of max_current.
