+One image works across all of these boards; the correct U-Boot and device tree are chosen at boot via `config.txt`:

+|-------------|----------|----------------------|
+| Pi Zero 2W  | BCM2710A1| `[all]` or `[pi3]`   |

+|------------|------------------------|---------------------------|

+| **rpi**      | `scripts/config.rpi`      | Pi Zero 2W, 3, 4, 5, 400  |
+
+- **Use legacy:** In `scripts/config`, set `BUILD_PROFILE=legacy` (default). Uses kernel/firmware tag `1.20220830` and U-Boot `v2022.01`.
+- **Use RPi (incl. Pi 5):** In `scripts/config`, set `BUILD_PROFILE=rpi`. Uses kernel branch and firmware/U-Boot tags from `scripts/config.rpi`; **UBUNTU_RELEASE** defaults to **noble** (24.04); set to **jammy** in `config.rpi` for 22.04. Pi 5 uses `rpi_arm64_defconfig` (same binary as other 64-bit boards).
+
+Or pass the profile as an argument (recommended; survives sudo): `sudo ./build.sh rpi`
+
+After changing the profile or editing `scripts/config.legacy` / `scripts/config.rpi`, run `sudo ./build.sh` (or remove `build/` and rebuild).
