[Bug 1934791] Re: SRU u-boot to focal to enable HiFive Unmatched booting

[Dave Jones]

** Description changed:

  In order to boot Ubuntu 20.04 on the Unmatched, the version of u-boot
  currently in hirsute will need to be SRU'd to focal.
  
  Raspberry pi core and classic images will need to be tested with this
  new version of u-boot as well to ensure nothing was broken by the SRU.
  
  [Impact]
  
   * Without the hirsute version of u-boot, the HiFive Unmatched
     will not boot focal
  
  [Test Case]
  
-  * Attempt to boot the Unmatched with u-boot 2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~20.04.2
+ For RISC-V "unmatched" boards:
+  * Attempt to boot the Unmatched with current focal image containing u-boot 2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~20.04.2
   * Note that it fails to boot
+  * Build image with u-boot from proposed
   * Attempt to boot the Unmatched with the new version of u-boot
   * Verify that u-boot is able to load the kernel
-  * Ensure u-boot can still boot on the Raspberry pi 2, 3, 3+,
-    4 (8GB especially), 400, and CM4
+ 
+ For Raspberry Pi boards (2, 3, 3+, 4 (inc. 8GB variant), 400, CM4):
+  * Flash focal image to an SD card and boot it on the relevant Pi
+  * Ensure card is fully up to date (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade)
+  * Enable proposed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed)
+  * Update u-boot (sudo apt install u-boot-rpi)
+  * Check reboot still boots successfully (sudo reboot)
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  There are multiple changes being SRU'd, but since we know they all work
  in hirsute on these models the risk is fairly low. Attempts to boot all
  the supported Raspberry pi models should still be made to ensure no
  regression.
