* recovery: Walk partitions to delete recovery.bin
Previously, recovery.bin would fail to delete itself
if the bootrom loaded recovery.bin where there are multiple FAT
partitions and the first partition does not contain recovery.bin
Update the rename code to walk the partition table to find
the recovery.bin file to delete.
* Enable overriding of high partition numbers
Previously, the PARTITION=N bootloader config setting would only
be used at power on reset or if the partition number passed to
reboot was zero.
Change the behaviour so that the bootloader config PARTITION
property can override the reboot partition number if the reboot
parameter is > 31.
* Walk the partition table if the requested partition is not bootable
Previously, if the specified boot partition was not bootable the
bootloader would stop and advance to the next BOOT_ORDER. If the
new PARTITION_WALK option is set to 1 the bootloader will now
check each partition in turn starting from the specified partition
before advancing the BOOT_ORDER.
This feature is intended for use with A/B systems to handle the case
where autoboot.txt is missing / corrupted. This change enables
the system to failover to the next available bootable partition.
The autoboot.txt file is not scanned during the partition-walk
phase i.e. there is no recursive processing of autoboot.txt files.
This option is only supported on physical block devices
(SD, NVMe, USB) and not RAMDISK. USB assumes a single high speed
device, partition walks on multiple USB devices is not recommended
and may cause timeouts.
* Improve keyboard handling in boot menu
Try and make it more likely that we have enough time to perform key
detection.
Ignore mice, which were being enumerated and slowing things down.
* Enable banklow (and so NUMA) by default
banklow=1 (2712) and banklow=3 (2711) give the best performance.
* enable_uart=1 now enables a Linix UART console on the 40-pin header
unless a cable is detected on the dedicated boot-uart.
* Recreate internal bl31 stub from clean git tree to fix dirty commit
message.
* Fix PCIe BAR setup issue which prevented NVMe boot from working with some PCIe switches
See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1833
* Boot-menu improvements
Remain in the forced boot mode until the menu is used to select a different
boot-mode or reset to the original boot-order.
* arm_dt: Consult the hat_map for all HATs
* USB boot - ignore RP2 / RP3 MSD device in BOOTSEL mode.
* recovery.bin - Fix erase_eeprom to not block reboot_recovery
* Fix self-update to continue to boot instead of retrying forever
if the EEPROM is write protected.
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/597
* Enable the usage of program_rpiboot_gpio in config.txt for recovery.bin
without requiring secure-boot to be enabled.
This may be useful CI systems provisioning images on Pi4B / Pi400 via RPIBOOT.
This is an OTP setting and cannot be reverted after programming.
See https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#program_rpiboot_gpio
* Add timestamps to UART log messages.
* Add support for [tryboot] conditional the bootloader EEPROM
config file.
See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/454
* Fix MAX_RESTARTS parameter
See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/576
* Add recovery_reboot option to config.txt for rpiboot which causes
the system to reboot after updating the bootloader.
* Improve secure-boot OTP provisioning logging.
* Fix setting to enable secure-boot mode on Pi4B
* Switch to building the Pi4 firmware from the common Pi4/Pi5
mainline release. This doesn't change the Pi4 features
but should make it quicker to release bug fixes in common code.
* Fix issue that caused the TRYBOOT flag to be lost in secure-boot mode.
* dtoverlay: Use %u when converting u32s to strings
See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/6039
* Improved debug messages for secure-boot.
* Generate the bootloader diagnostics qrcode at run time.
The EEPROM release names were changed to follow the naming
in raspi-config some time ago. Since the firmware directory
is being renamed to be chip specific for Pi5 support it's
good time to swap the symlink / release names.
