** Summary changed:
- piboot-try is missing definition of Zero 2W
+ [SRU] piboot-try is missing definition of Zero 2W
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
The db is missing the Zero 2 W pattern, which results in piboot-try
thinking the f-k method is not "pi-try" as it should be. This in turn
breaks the validation service, and flash-kernel execution.
+
+ [ Test plan ]
+
+ * Flash the Ubuntu Server for Pi image to a spare SD card
+ * Boot the image and login
+ * sudo flash-kernel
+ * Observe failure
+ * Enabled the proposed pocket
+ * sudo apt install flash-kernel
+ * sudo flash-kernel
+ * Observe success
+ * sudo reboot
+ * Ensure system comes back up
+
+ [ Where things could go wrong ]
+
+ The change is purely additive to the database and thus will not affect
+ other boards. However, anything that messes with piboot-try has the
+ potential to break boot, hence the test plan ensures not only that the
+ primary bug is fixed, but that the boot sequence continues to operate
+ (this will implicitly include testing the A/B boot mechanism as "sudo
+ flash-kernel" installs new "untested" assets which will go through a
+ full test cycle during the reboot).
