This machine configuration is for the Raspberry Pi 2B V1.2 (64-bit).
Note: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.2[1] switched from BCM2836[2] (V1.0,
V1.1) to BCM2837[3] that is 64-bit CPU used in Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
BCM2836[2]
The Broadcom chip used in the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. The
underlying architecture in BCM2836 is identical to BCM2835. The
only significant difference is the removal of the ARM1176JZF-S
processor and replacement with a quad-core Cortex-A7 cluster.
BCM2837[3]
This is the Broadcom chip used in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B,
later models of the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and the Raspberry Pi
Compute Module 3. The underlying architecture of the BCM2837 is
identical to the BCM2836. The only significant difference is the
replacement of the ARMv7 quad core cluster with a quad-core ARM
Cortex A53 (ARMv8) cluster.
The ARM cores run at 1.2GHz, making the device about 50% faster
than the Raspberry Pi 2. The VideoCore IV runs at 400MHz.

I needed support of the seeed-can-fd-hat-v2 Can Shield
Added the seeed-can-fd-hat-v2.dtbo device tree overlay to the rpi-base.inc and added the parameter for the CAN shield under the rpi-config so it can be easily enabled as a parameter from e.g. the local.conf and is added to the /boot/config.txt of the Pi. I also added the changes to the documentation.

The Raspberry Pi 4 board can boot the image from USB memory.
But current meta-raspberrypi supports only SD boot.
This commit allows switching SD boot to other device.
For example, if you want to use USB boot, please define
the following parameters in your conf/local.conf file.
CMDLINE_ROOT_PARTITION = "/dev/sda2"
BOOT_MEDIA = "usb"
v4: Update extra-build-config.md to explain more detail for new variable.
v3: Changed variable name to "BOOT_MEDIA" (was "BOOT_DEVTIPE").
v2: Set existing microSD parameter as default. User can overwrite
some parameters.

This avoids failing builds with:
NameError: name 'html_theme' is not defined
It also makes the theme configuration explicit and correctly set up.

When RPI_USE_U_BOOT is set to 1, if enable_uart is not set to 1 in config.txt
then the board won't boot (Resolves agherzan#1189).
This requirement only affects the following boards:
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Raspberry Pi 3 32 & 64 bit
- Raspberry Pi 4 32 & 64 bit

Explains that PREFERRED_PROVIDER_ffmpeg/vlc
can be used to select an implementation of ffmpeg
or vlc. Also adds information on how vlc mmal_vout
plugin could be utilized. As well as how to expose
rpidistro-vlc.

We do this as a result of an upstream issue[1].
Some of the firmware blobs are provided under the 'Synapse' license
including a clause that can (at least theoretically) be used as a
'killswitch'. To make sure users are aware of this, we guard this
behind a license flag.
Users of this recipe will need to add to their configuration:
LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED = "synaptics-killswitch"

The `rtc` machine feature is "considered" by default for all the
machines we provide until now. This can confuse people who would want an
RTC device attached to a RaspberryPi board[1]. Clarify this via
documentation.

Added imx219.dtbo file in the overlays, and added dtoverlay in
/boot/config.txt define based.
To enable Sony Raspberry pi camera imx219 sensor, need to set
the variable RASPBERRYPI_CAMERA_V2 as 1.
In future, we can add any camera overlays here to support and
use them with libcamera.
