I may have described some problems in my previous question. To eliminate that problem I had to flash my sd-card with the latest buster release. After that I am frequently facing these problems, 1. While using Facebook with Chromium I am getting a lots of processor throttling(Red bars with less power symbol) 2. I found that chromeium is making a lots of processes into the task manager 3. I am getting low power signal frequently after this update.Also the temperature is spiking too. How am I supposed to fix this problem!!
I am getting low power signal frequently after this update.
An update cannot cause this. What can is overclocking, or a weak power supply.
"What power supply?" 5V-2.4A
Get the official power supply.
Raspberry Pi 4B
They recently released an EEPROM update for the Pi 4 which reduces power consumption by up to 0.3 amps.
Just run these commands in the terminal to install it:
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1PXwrnhAXKB1hb5J6_EfPy5zLQkqnbGba' -O vl805_update_0137a8.zip
unzip vl805_update_0137a8.zip
chmod a+x vl805
sudo ./vl805 -w vl805_fw_0137ab.bin
sudo reboot now

No. apt deals with packages in linux. The EEPROM is low-level bootcode for only the Pi 4, similar to BIOS on a Windows computer. – Botspot Oct 24 '19 at 2:07

I found the pakage from apt today. A big save. it was an eeprom-image – Sohan Arafat Oct 24 '19 at 6:01

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were asking if an
apt updatewould update the EEPROM, and no it won't. But yes, you can useaptto install an EEPROM-updating tool. For pothers who see this, the tool is calledrpi-eeprom, and the images are in a separate package calledrpi-eeprom-packages. – Botspot Oct 24 '19 at 20:09
I found that chromeium is making a lots of processes into the task manager- yeah, Chrome/Chromium tends to be s resource hog – Jaromanda X Oct 21 '19 at 8:26
