Yeah, there is a flashable eeprom, I flashed the new beta (USB-boot) on the 8GB,
I`ve uploaded it t here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rpi4-8gbram-betafirmw-03062020/
(should apply to both 4GB/8GB, afair, but sure on 8GB)
Just erase uSD to FAT32 with

.. unzip pieprom.zip to uSD, boot (green screen on HDMI, success on UART and bli king green light blinking o. pcb
Indicates fw-upgrade.success…

(If booting without inserted uSD it should show the eprom-version,
 But that depends on flashed eprom-version, afair)
