Good day
This seems to be an active list so my question is Is there raspberry pi 2B support,, BCM2836?
from looking at the rpi config it seem to only mention 2835, I am not sure that it would compile (native) on a 2836 since memory for example is different
Not wanting to insult,,
why I am interested is to make it a boot manager, to load the start elf, then bareboot.bin and run a script to choose what to boot.. Sort of like smart boot manager, maybe not so smoothly,, that is what starts this computer And how to add the kernel configs?
thanks

Currently there is no rpi2 support for barebox. I don't know what's missing to add support since I'm not familiar with the rpi and don't know how much it differs from the rpi2. Added Carlo Caione to Cc who added the rpi support initially. Maybe he has a few words for us.

Hi Sasha,
no idea about the rpi2 support. The rpi support was very basic, just UART and timers IIRC.
