This patch configures the U-Boot for Raspberry Pis to reserve 50 MB for linux kernels, because the 6.9 and newer linux-libre-arm64-generic kernels can be larger than 36 MB. It was created by Herman Rimm in August 2024 and is not submitted upstream yet. diff --git a/board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.env b/board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.env index 30228285ed..54a8e9e5ae 100644 --- a/board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.env +++ b/board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.env @@ -43,22 +43,22 @@ dfu_alt_info+=zImage fat 0 1 * text_offset bytes (specified in the header of the Image) into a 2MB * boundary.
