Pi 4 memory

When booting the latest beta ROM on my Pi 4 i notice that it only detects 1152MB of RAM, i see other users with the 8GB model getting almost all of their RAM. I know it is hardly a problem with RISC OS but is there something i should be doing to get all 2GB? |

That’s a very unusual amount of RAM to have reported. What do you have in config.txt, and what version firmware are you using? (The date/time from “*vcgencmd version” should be sufficient) |

What is the firmware file called? New U-Boot? |

The bootloader, previously bootcode.bin, is done differently on the Pi 4. On the Pi 4 bootcode.bin is ignored and a flashable EEPROM is used which directly (after a long delay of about 15s) runs start4.elf. Bootcode.bin on other models of Pi runs start.elf. |
