The Raspberry Pi Foundation does not publish the source code of this firmware. You just need to copy the start_elf* files onto your /boot filesystem and that should be it. You can download the files from github: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware I am sure there is some documentation about this somewhere on the Internet. It's basically just copying the right files to the right locations. -Michael > > Cheers, > Glen > _______________________________________________ > SIG-ARM mailing list > SIG-ARM(a)lists.ipfire.org > http://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/sig-arm --===============2255341283352360268==--
