  2. Libraries and firmware files are taken from Jetpack, as usual, but version 7.1 increases the rootfs final size above the 512MB, that's why PR Unify partition layout: 2GB (EFI) + 4GB (rootfs) #5735 is needed.

Run tests.

But does this imply that a test which does make installer-raw run-installer-raw run-target will use up lots more disk space compared to prior to the change?

Will this impact Eden runs?

Yes, that's the drawback. Unfortunately that's the price to pay. Currently is going to be the same if we run any eve-k build as well.

Btw, just to clarify, I'm considering you are talking about the final state, where the partition layout will be unified across eve-k and eve-kvm. This PR per se doesn't touch the partition layout (#5735 does).
