[Bug 1652504] Re: Recent updates broke Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 3

[Oliver Grawert]

the newer firmware (start.elf,fixup.dat and bootcode.bin) hard-requires
0x02000000 because it initializes the hardware differently in the newer
version...

looks like linux-firmware-raspi2 was not properly updated alongside with
flash-kernel and the kernel itself, there is a hard lockstep between
these three packages, it will only work if all of them are upgraded
together ...

perhaps the linux-raspi2 metapackage should introduce a versioned
dependency for the two others to avoid such fallout in the future ...

  Recent updates broke Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 3

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I've been running Raspberry Pi 3 with Ubuntu as described here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi

  I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and then upgraded to 16.10 and have been
  using this setup successfully since October up until last week.
  Unfortunately one of the latest kernel updates broke the installation
  and I found out the same happened for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - and therefore
  I can no longer run up-to-date Ubuntu installation (with updated
  kernel) on my RPI.

  I am getting this error:
  Error image is not a fdt - must reset the board to recover

  I also tried this but it didn't help me:
  https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=168838

  Now I know running Ubuntu on RPI3 this way is not officially
  supported, but since Ubuntu Snappy is supported I thought someone here
  could know what is going on.

  Thank you very much.
