These are the firmware options I see in the .config file. CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" # Device Tree and Open Firmware support # Altera FPGA firmware download module # CONFIG_HOSTAP_FIRMWARE is not set # Firmware Drivers CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y # CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set > enable the mdev firmware loading option in busybox, CONFIG_FEATURE_MDEV_LOAD_FIRMWARE=y > and then write the > path to mdev to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug. I had the mdev -s in the init.d/rcS script, but added setting the path just now. ## Added 5/12/2013 as part of adding firmware support echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug mdev -s > put the firmware files into > /lib/firmware/ like normal. that's it. -mike So, just copy from the linux-firmware git download and place the fw files? > Thanks. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
