#!/bin/bash

# The default BAR address space available on the CM4 may be too small to allow
# some devices to initialize correctly. To avoid 'failed to assign memory'
# errors on boot, you can increase the range of the PCIe bus in the Raspberry
# Pi's Device Tree (a .dtb file specific to each Pi model).
#
# You should probably read up on Device Trees if you don't know what they are:
# https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/device-tree.md
#
# NOTE: The default BAR allocation was increased to 1 GB in this commit:
# https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/54db4b2fa4d17251c2f6e639f849b27c3b553939
