Public bug reported: Impact ======
Updated firmware is required to support booting the Raspberry Pi 4, primarily by providing Pi 4 specific variants of start*.elf and fixup*.dat. The updated package has been built in the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/ubpi4/+packages Test Case ========= * Flash a current eoan daily image to an SD card * Verify the card doesn't boot on a Pi4 * Boot the card on a Pi3/3+ * Upgrade the u-boot-rpi and linux-firmware-raspi2 packages from the PPA * Boot the card on a Pi4 Regression Potential ==================== The proposed package is being tested on all supported Pi variants (2, 3, 3+, CM3, CM3+, and 4) with all supported archs (armhf done, arm64 underway) with no failures thus far. Only the Pi uses this package so, unlike with the u-boot upgrade, no other platforms can be affected. Beyond the firmware version bump, I did take the opportunity to clean up some mistakes in the postinst, primarily removing the incorrect device- tree address hack. The boot config isn't under the control of this package, which shouldn't be fiddling with it, especially when the device-tree address it's using is different to that used in our boot scripts. However, given the base image includes device_tree_address in its configs, that part of the postinst was effectively redundant anyway (unless users modified their config.txt, but if they do they almost certainly don't want a package to arbitrarily mess with their changes). ** Affects: linux-firmware-raspi2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847163 Title: [FFe] Firmware bump for Pi 4 boot support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware-raspi2/+bug/1847163/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
