Look at ivtv_firmware_versions(). The third file is an mpeg, not firmware. Validation is probably not important in that case. > I suppose we could CRC/md5 the firmware files and check them against > the table posted in the wiki of known firmware files... http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/8/79 Easy to plug something like this in- but it seems like overkill. At least, in a non-debug context it does. -- Tyler Trafford _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
