It can do. Firmware has bugs, and many hardware manufacturers have an
unfortunate habit of abandoning firmware

For example, lets say you have a pci device. If you don't load the
firmware blob, the pins will just remain in an uninitialized state.
That is; the chip default. Programming in the firmware blob will tell
the chip how to work as a pci

Please try to explain to a hardware manufacturer that free their

How exactly do you propose to load the firmware, if not through a JTAG

Hi,
I'm the maintainer of libv4l which passed the new queue yesterday.
Obviously the package build failed on non-Linux architectures [1]. How

Or so you think. There are people who can read assembly and hex just as

Hi,
Is there a canonical list of symbols defined by each of the

__sparc or __sparc__ ? How about m68k, hppa, etc?
My first guess was that would be contained on
