I could, but I think that these issues are probably resolved by using
upstream sources, so I'm not sure if this is a bug for greater Yocto or not.
Does it make sense to file a bug, even if it is closed just for
informational purposes?
We cannot; due GPU issues. So please report a bug about it.
I do think that this will be a problem for the following systems:
- Using a version of udev > 176 (I suspect this, as that is when udev moved
to an internal-only firmware loading capability, but I know it is a problem
for 182)
- Using a kernel < 3.7 (3.7 incorporated a filesystem firmware loading
feature which bypasses udev)
- Drivers loading their firmware in the module init stage (as the brcmfmac
does)
I'd like to create a recipe to at least get this working in Yocto/Poky
master for this and submit it to meta-freescale that would do the following:
- Patch the kernel to remove the staging drivers and add the
net/wirelesss/brcm80211 backport
- Fetch the firmware from a *remote repository* and load it into the
kernel's firmware directory
- Patch the defconfig to add the extra firmware to load into the kernel
Read other reply please.
