[Bug 1764491] Re: Missing RaspberryPi 3B+

[Łukasz Zemczak]

** Also affects: flash-kernel (Ubuntu Cosmic)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: flash-kernel (Ubuntu Bionic)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu Bionic)
   Importance: Undecided => Critical

** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu Cosmic)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Description changed:

- The new Raspberry Pi 3B+ is missing from the flash-kernel database.
- Support has been added to the bionic raspi2 kernel, so it would be great
- if the other packages could support it too.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ The new Raspberry Pi 3B+ is missing from the flash-kernel database.  Support has been added to the bionic raspi2 kernel, so it would be great if the other packages could support it too.
+ Without this fix, every trigger of update-initramfs (which triggers flash-kernel) will fail on 3B+ platforms.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Boot up an Ubuntu raspi3 image on a Pi 3B+ and log into it
+  * Run flash-kernel
+  * Make sure no errors are reported (no "Unsupported platform.")
+  * Reboot
+  * Make sure the system still boots
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ This is basically only adding support for a new board so should have no
+ real regression potential. If the machine identification has some error
+ making it identify normal Pi3's as B+ there's some risk of corrupting
+ systems, but that should be quite visible whenever it happens.
