Conversation
Some boards have 512k of available memory, not 256k, and need the RE build to make use of it. See MarlinFirmware#22050 for discussion and testing, and MarlinFirmware#15890 for the original discussion of 1.2 RET6 boards.

@Taomyn @rhapsodyv I know you folks have the same boards, if you could test this specific PR, I'm sure that would be helpful in getting this re-enabled in the official releass. |

This was removed on purpose. If it works for your board, feel free to enable it in your fork, but it was not safe for everyone, and that is why the fake 512k envs were removed. |

@thisiskeithb that makes sense, for sure. Would adding a separate motherboard name like Either way, this PR can act as a single-commit reference for people wanting to make the same change in future 👍 |
The 1.2 didn’t ship with an RET6, so adding a new fake board or environment is just bypassing the safety aspect and reason why the fake 512k envs were removed. Again, feel free to overflash your board if it works for you, but those envs were removed for a reason. |
