[Bug 2147213] Re: [resolute] Unsupported platform 'Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2'.

[barsalou]

@Andreas Hasenack,

Did you have a Pi 4 as well?

I noticed the dtb's that are getting installed are for the pi 5.

I'm getting ready to try again from my backup to see if I can come up
with a good sequence to get this working.

I think something might be going wrong with the resolute packages for
selecting the correct dtb.  It isn't using /proc/cpuinfo or wherever
else is the right place for that information.  It seems to be relying on
existing installed dtb's to decide.

I'm not super sure about that.

Is there a command line that I could run that would let me verify how it
is deciding which dtb's to use?

I also noticed that the all.db has the dtb for pi 5 at the bottom of the
file.

After resolute upgrade mine has:
# somewhat RFC2822 based, but case sensitive, not tolerant to spaces etc.
# The entries are supposed to be sorted by their (first) Machine line

Kernel-Flavors: raspi raspi-realtime
Method: pi-try
DTB-Id: bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb

Which looks to come from piboot-try.

When I change that to:
DTB-Id: bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb

It seems to then use the correct dtb's when doing flash-kernel

I don't know if I'm making good choices here, just trying to work my way
through it.
