** Summary changed:

+ [SRU] Add entry for Pi 500

** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]

+ The Raspberry Pi 500, despite being Pi 5 compatible, cannot currently be

+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ For each affected $series:
+ 
+ * Flash Ubuntu Server $series for Raspberry Pi to a spare SD card
+ * Boot SD card on a Pi 500
+ * Log in with default user
+ * sudo flash-kernel
+ * Observe failure
+ * Enable proposed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed)
+ * sudo apt install -t $series-proposed flash-kernel
+ * sudo flash-kernel
+ * Check flash-kernel succeeds
+ * sudo reboot
+ * Ensure reboot proceeds correctly
+ 
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+ 
+ Very low; this merely adds a new entry to the flash-kernel database. It
+ does not remove or modify existing entries. The database has reasonable
+ tests in place to ensure its operation, and the test plan above ensures
+ that the new platform is supported correctly, including reboot.

  An entry is required for the Raspberry Pi 500 in the flash-kernel db.
  Specifically:
  
- Machine: Raspberry Pi 500

- Method: pi                                                                                              
- DTB-Id: bcm2712d0-rpi-5-b.dtb                                                                           
- U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.rpi                                                                         
- Required-Packages: u-boot-tools                                                                         
+ Machine: Raspberry Pi 500
+ Machine: Raspberry Pi 500 Rev 1.0
+ Machine: Raspberry Pi 500 Rev *
+ Kernel-Flavors: raspi raspi-realtime

+ DTB-Id: bcm2712d0-rpi-5-b.dtb
+ U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.rpi
+ Required-Packages: u-boot-tools
  
  This requires targetting to oracular and noble too (neither image will
  work "out of the box" until re-spin, which will only happen for noble in
  .2, but will at least enable cards moved from other Pis to operate
  normally).
