[Bug 1764491] Re: Missing RaspberryPi 3B+

[Brian Murray]

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted flash-kernel into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-
kernel/3.90ubuntu3.18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed-bionic

Title:
  Missing RaspberryPi 3B+

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in flash-kernel source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in flash-kernel source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [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.
