Description Stéphane Veyret 2020-06-24 10:04:37 UTC 
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.
