The old way does not seem to work for RPi 3, as the UART pins are mapped differently and the NOOBS bootcode does not seem to read a config.txt.

It probably got lost, so I'm resending it. Note that this patch is independent of Lucas' RPi patch series and also applies to the current state of RPi support. - Roland diff --git a/Documentation/boards/bcm2835.rst b/Documentation/boards/bcm2835.rst index 13cebb01c4..1a78cfba3c 100644 --- a/Documentation/boards/bcm2835.rst +++ b/Documentation/boards/bcm2835.rst @@ -1,17 +1,35 @@ -Broadcom BCM2835 +Broadcom BCM283x ================ Raspberry Pi ------------ - 1.
