…(latest) * Enable the PARTITION_WALK property by default Previously, the new PARTITION_WALK which searches for bootable partitions after a failure had to be explicitly enabled. Change the default to be enabled by default. It can be switched off by setting PARTITION_WALK=0 in the EEPROM config. * Optimise bootmain for size on Pi4 Pi4 only has a 512KB SPI flash EEPROM and the addition of features plus fixes is now causing contention for space between the code and the EEPROM config. Since bootmain is only responsible for loading start.elf revert to the original configuration which is optimised for size rather than speed. Pi5 continues to be optimised for speed.
