Reduction of cores

After update to 9.0.0 firmware btop shows only 8 cores.
How to get back all cores?

In the BIOS there’s a menu (I don’t remember the exact path) where you’ll see all of them with na “enable”/“disable” choice. The little ones (A520) are disabled by default, you can turn them back on.

There are only 8 cores to enable.
its the latest bios update

According to Radxa, that is not the latest BIOS for production use. It is the BIOS provided by CIX for ARM SystemReady testing.

So which is the correct to use?
Why are you offering these in your download site?
Why is no notice in the readme?

This is the only BIOS version compiled and released by Radxa so far.

They have always been lacking in documentation in these details. From what I’ve seen, they are busy building the next system image and BIOS with the new SDK. Until then I will stick to the initial version.
