 Bien sûr, d'autres fichiers sont nécessaires. Il faut avoir l'arborescence du matériel (soit DTB/DTS, soit script.bin), le chargeur de démarrage spécifique à la plateforme ainsi qu'un noyau compatible avec l'architecture de la plateforme.

 Of course, other files are necessary. The device tree (DTB/DTS or script.bin) is necessary, a specific bootloader for the platform and a compatible kernel with that architecture.
