Where to find arm224_start.elf?

Thu May 16, 2013 10:25 am

Hi, I think I need to repartition memory because my raspB is hopeless at web browsing. But my /boot subdirectory only contains start.elf, no alternatives to cp to it. I have run a search from / and cannot find them anywhere. I imagine that my raspi is loaded with raspbian OS, it came preloaded on SD card.
Could not find a simple listing on the Download site. Where should I best go to find these files for download. Thanks a mill.

You don't need to use that any more (where did you get the information from so we can try and update it?). You can simply set the GPU memory split in the config file in the boot partition.

Magic! I also printed out my config.txt so I can review it (I'm really wet behind my large ears!). --G
