Question: Why does my device show 4GB of RAM when I really have 8GB?

Hi there,
Not really a bug but I'm surprised to only see 4GB of RAM available:
I have 8GB on the board. htop also only shows 4GB available. Is there a reason for this? I'm curious...
Mine also is 8GB but shows 4gb,
I see a dmesg line very early in the boot:
[ 0.000000] Memory limited to 4096MB
@peterwilli Nice catch, there was a kernel parameter which limited the memory to 4096M in the boot script:
If you pull this commit, then "make cmd/odroid/common/install" once more to update it on your sd card, it should remove the limit.
Confirmed: that fixed it:
Thanks so much, I'll try right now and super cool that I found something again, and as always checking out what you changed!
Edit: All good here now!
@peterwilli Yup, just a small mistake in the configs, easy to fix!
Glad it's working properly now 👍🏽
