This week I checked the firmware running on my Raspberry Pi (which I use for syncloud). To my surprise the firmware was only a few months old.
Do you push fw-updates for the Raspberry Pi when you update syncloud itself?
We do not update it, which image did you use and when did you flashed it?
Also if you can show me the command you are referring to check firmware date please?
sudo rpi-update
It was the image for the pi5. I did the initial install around 2024 I think.
What is the output of this command?
This command is actually updating firmware from RPi servers that is ok.
Looks like that…
sudo rpi-update

Updating a system with initramfs configured is not supported by rpi-update.
If your system relies on drivers provided by the initramfs (e.g. custom filesystem options)
it may not boot without regenerating the initramfs.
If you are unsure, test if your system boots with initramfs options disabled from config.txt
Would you like to proceed? (y/N)

Go for it, why not.
You can always flash a new one.
