This is an advanced option, so we advise that you use `start_x` and `start_debug` rather than this option. -NOTE: Cut-down firmware (`start*cd.elf` and `fixup*cd.dat`) cannot be selected this way - the system will fail to boot. The only way to enable the cut-down firmware is to specify `gpu_mem=16`. The cut-down firmware removes support for codecs and 3D as well as limiting the initial early-boot framebuffer to 1080p @16bpp - although KMS can replace this with up to 32bpp 4K framebuffer(s) at a later stage as with any firmware. +NOTE: Cut-down firmware (`start*cd.elf` and `fixup*cd.dat`) cannot be selected this way - the system will fail to boot.
