Researched against the official raspberrypi.com config.txt reference and one real, working Pi 5 bare-metal project's own checked-in config.txt (leopoldch/BatMetal), not assumed from general Pi knowledge: - kernel=kernel_2712.img, os_check=0, device_tree=bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb - enable_uart=1 added (correction to the item's original text): costs nothing when unused, and is the only diagnostic channel that would survive a framebuffer failure on the untested mailbox path (rpi5_native_boot.c). - arm_64bit=1 dropped (correction to the item's original text): confirmed inert on Pi 5 by official docs. - dtparam=pciex1 researched, deliberately omitted with rationale recorded -- community-reported only, not needed until item 5's re-scoped RP1/PCIe work. - os_check=0 vs. BatMetal's own config (which omits it) recorded as an open, unresolved discrepancy rather than silently picked. boot_media/rpi5/README.md notes the one remaining gap this exposes: kernel_2712.img names a file nothing currently builds (item 1's separate-image build target is still outstanding future work). Doc-and-config only, no compiled code changed. Three-arch QEMU acceptance (amd64/aarch64/riscv64, in order) run to confirm non-regression only.

Raspberry Pi 5 native boot media
What goes on the SD card for the native (non-UEFI) boot path (FABRIC-3.md §IV):
config.txt— checked in here, done (§IV.3 item 6).bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb— Raspberry Pi firmware's own stock DTB; not built by this project, copied from the firmware release the card is otherwise built from.kernel_2712.img— does not exist yet.config.txtnames it, but no build target inMakefile.starkernelcurrently emits a raw image by this name at load address 0x80000 — item 1 (entry stub) explicitly scoped a separate-image build target as future work, not part of that item. Building this file is the remaining prerequisite before item 7 (assembling the card) is possible.
