Bug#872600: RFP: open-rpi-firmware -- Open source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi
The original upstream project is resting, and the fork on https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware > seem to be the currently developed edition. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

I agree that it should definitely not go into the unstable->stable route until it has more features, but believe it would be useful to start packaging in a public git repo and perhaps even upload to experimental to increase its visibility. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

FWIW, I think it doesn’t make sense to package this (or upload it, rather) until we can run a headless Raspberry Pi system with it (i.e. once DMA, Ethernet and USB work). I don’t expect tooling to be a big issue.

Bug#872600: RFP: open-rpi-firmware -- Open source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-raspi * Package name: open-rpi-firmware Version : n/a, no tags in git Upstream Author : Kristina Brooks * URL : https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware * License : BSD and GPL Description : Open source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi This package contains firmware to boot the various Raspberry Pi boards. The free firmware is fairly early in its development process, but it would be useful to have it in Debian to ensure all the build tools needed are working and to allow those of us that prefer to run into free software on our units an option to boot our RPis. :) Not quite sure what the package name should be. Suggested the -firmware name to match the https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/raspi3-firmware > name structure. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
