    Summary: Switch of boot mode for Raspberry Pi 4
    Description: 
    Switch of boot mode for Raspberry Pi 4
    In Alt, it is customary to load the kernel, dtb and initrd
    using u-boot and configuration in extlinux.conf,
    or using grub.
    Firmware Raspberry Pi 4 loads and modifies dtb
    according to config.txt configuration.
    U-boot and grub can't do that.
    The scripts in this package allow you to switch boot modes:
    - Firmware loads the kernel, dtb, and initrd. U-boot is not used.
    armv7l (armh) 32-bit system only:
    - Firmware loads dtb. U-boot loads the kernel and initrd.
    - U-boot loads the kernel, dtb, and initrd.
    aarch64 64-bit system only:
    - U-boot loads grub, grub loads kernel, dtb and initrd.
