5

Pardon me, as I might have to ask some very basic questions, as I never dealt with these things on that level.

An easier option to try is to mount the MicroSD card in your computer. You should see a bunch of .dtb files

I suppose the card in question is the one I burned the nerves firmware to. In my case, it would be the internal eMMC of the CM5, accessed via usbboot.

But there I can only see a single *.dtb file, not “a bunch” as mentioned above.

Nonetheless, just copying the mentioned bcm2712-rpi-cm5*.dtb files to that eMMC location and boot with these files does not change anything. No output anywhere. Feeling a bit dumb right now, but someone has to start somewhere.
