Subject: [DNG] Problem Updating firmware for Raspiberry Pi 4

Hi,

I've just attempted to update the firmware on my Raspberry Pi4
I installed Beowulf Lite 64 bit for the Pi4 back in May this year and have
just attempted to update the firmware ...

# apt-get install raspi-firmware
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  raspi-firmware
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 29 not upgraded.
Need to get 4514 kB of archives.
After this operation, 22.2 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Anybody any ideas how I get the latest firmware, or where/who else
is better to ask?

cheers
