Hello!
I am in the process of preparing several raspberry pi 5's for deployment over the next few months. I always use memtest86 to validate new hardware before deployment, and I was pleased to see that I can run it on Pi's as well (who knows when you'll get something with bad ram?)
Initially I was using it on 10.7, where it was unable to use multi-processor. After I saw the 11.0 update notes, I was pleased to see preliminary multi-processor support for ARM64 was added as it could help shave off a lot of time these pi's sit testing.
Sadly, it still fails to use multi-processor citing the same error as 10.7 - "[UEFI Firmware Error] Could not start CPU 1". I have attached the log.
In order to boot UEFI based operating systems, RPI requires a third party UEFI, found here: GitHub - worproject/rpi5-uefi: EDK2 firmware images for Raspberry Pi 5
Other operating systems booting from this UEFI are able to access and use all 4 processors, so I don't think it's an issue with the UEFI itself, although I cannot fully rule it out.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
