<Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> let me say it again.
<Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> RPi images piggyback'ed on UEFI partitioning just for convenience/lazyness (it was GPT, it was a FAT partition).
<Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> Otherwise there is NO EFI at all, it's all RPi proprietary bootloader.
<Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> let's just flip the damn flag off for RPi builds and be done with it
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Separate boot partition and grub? Or just one partition?
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> grub doesn't work on rpi at all
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> unless someone found some magic recently
<Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> grub works. need to use a u-boot binary.
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> Ahh..
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> grub seems overengineered for rpi though doesn't it?
<Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> yeah but I guess it could be used to multi boot diff kernels and distros. seems like over kill.
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> ahh didn't think about multi kernels
<Armbian-Discord> <E​feCTN> Opensuse also uses grub if i'm not wrong
<Armbian-Discord> <E​feCTN> I think it would be useful for some use cases
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> multi distros on one rpi might be tight but multi kernels could be useful
<Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> (for testing_
<Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> yes, opensuse last I checked use grub.
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> "need to use u-boot binary"?
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> So, what, rpi bootloads u-boot which bootloads grub which bootloads linux?
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> And all of this because it's too hard to make a selection menu earlier than GRUB?
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> That's... insanity. Is u-boot doing anything at all?
<Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> Basically put the binary on the fat partition with the rest of the boot binaries and tell the board its the kernel kernel=u-boot.bin. From there you can use extlinux or grub the same way you would on other boards. Yeap, there is no way to create a menu other wise. As far as I know?
