I've a couple RPi's that need bootcode.bin on the microSD
to boot from USB. Formerly I could download it by visiting
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#raspberry-pi-boot-modes

and clicking on the link
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/bootcode.bin

Lately, that takes me to
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/bootcode.bin
which displays as an empty frame on the right of the window. Clicking
on the icon for bootcode.bin in the left-hand frame doesn't change
the display and doesn't start a download.

I'm using a recent RasPiOS system with the chromium browser for this,
all updating using apt, so if anything should work, this should.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for reading,

bob prohaska

Click on the 'raw' button, which leads to:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/boot/bootcode.bin

and your browser should download that. Or wget it:

That did the trick. Odd that a button labeled "view" should trigger
a download, but I'm very glad it works anyway.

Thank you!

I get links on the right to copy or download the "raw" file, it's how
github handles binaries

Ok, now that you've _told_ me I see the icon. But it's only an
icon, not a word. Apparently hieroglyphics aren't my thing...8-)

Thanks for writing,
