In my case the update was even required to work with the SD card.
I got timeout errors after size line.
The same card worked fine in a 512MB B.

After updating the bootcode to those from:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot
Just bootcoed.bin wasn't enough, I also had to get fixup* and startup*.
The card and USB worked fine after updating all the files.
I also tested the updated bootcode on a normal 512MB B and it also booted.
Would be nice to have crochet updated for the newer bootcode.
If required I can also test boot on a 256MB B.
