Hello!
I've done a bit of looking around in regard to this issue, I've found the solution (reinstalling the bootloader), I haven't found much about the root cause.
I have about 40 pi5's used for a project and have found an increasing number are failing after a few starts. The issue is the "SPI EEPROM" related error and going through the steps to replace the bootloader works to 'repair' the issue for a period of time. My intuition is that the root cause is power related, but I'm hesitant to dive head-first into analyzing this without asking if anyone else has seen the issue or found a quick solution to keeping the EEPROM for corrupting in the first place.
I really appreciate any insights!
Cheers,
