A few more goodies…
https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/releases/tag/v1.6
What’s inside this release?
- Enable HTTP/HTTPS boot [tianocore/edk2-platforms@3daa701]
- Improve CPU Frequency menu and use a default frequency of 1.5 GHz [tianocore/edk2-platforms@c9f3f68]
- Enable additional early serial output [ccf4034]
Biggest change here is that your Pi will now boot at the default (Pi Foundation-recommended) frequency, instead of the 600MHz minimum. One less configuration option to change on every upgrade!
IMPORTANT: HTTP(S) boot, like PXE and iSCSI, will not currently work with the internal network card, because the GENET driver has not been upstreamed yet. This means you need a supported USB interface (Ax88772b) to use this feature.
As always, read the release notes and usual caveats.
