Bug ID: 13026
Summary: rpi-firmware: must not rename start files
Product: buildroot
Version: 2020.05
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: sveyret at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

When booting, a Raspberry Pi will load the appropriate start files, depending on the provided configuration. For example, if the config.txt file contains:
gpu_mem=16
the board will automatically load the cut-down startup files (start_cd.elf and fixup_cd.dat on non-Rpi4). Unfortunately, even when the appropriate version is selected in the configuration menu (in this example, BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_BOOT="_cd") if the rpi-firmware makefile takes the good files, it renames them to non-qualified, i.e. start.elf and fixup.dat. But as these are not the files searched by the Raspberry Pi, the board will not start.
I will provide a patch.
