The message is about the likes of: RPi2 v1.1 (armv7)? /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi RPi2 v1.2 (aarch64)? /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootaa64.efi Those are not RPi* firmware, nor armstub* , nor are they U-Boot. They are code from FreeBSD: FreeBSD UEFI loader code. So, yes, there is new code to update to. (Note: My efi vs. EFI capitalization may be non-standard. But I prefer to know from just the name if it is the msdosfs one vs. not that is being referenced. I also capitalize BOOT .) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
