I access the system using the advanced terminal without the protection mode, but it seems the command doesn’t exist (in comparison docker command exists).
Because of the aforementioned line, shouldn’t the comand rpi-eeprom-update be available?
The rpi-eeprom-update tool is part of the host OS, not the Docker container, so it cannot be run from inside the container. You need shell access to the underlying OS to execute it.
Home Assistant OS debugging access is documented here:
that's correct! you're still in the ssh app container. you have to ssh directly to port 22222 to get to the host level (jumping through the appropriate hoops)
Unfortunately i seem to be blocked because the Yellow is booting from the nvme card. Is there a known solution or do i have to boot via sd card or something ?

further reading - seems you cant do it for CM4 Home Assistant Yellow (CM4): The firmware update command is permanently blocked with this exact false-positive message; however, updating the EEPROM firmware is not required on a CM4. [1, 2]
