Issue #3044 has been updated by sucan...@fit.cvut.cz.
I think it is good to remove ispfw.ko. Looking at the sys/dev/disk/ispfw/Makefile it seems, that ispfw.ko is built alongside of all the other modules which contain individual firmwares so user will end up with two copies of the same firmware images laying on a filesystem (one in the ispfw.ko and one in the individual module). But manual page should be updated accordingly. I will take some inspiration from iwn(4) manual page. Should I upload a new set of the patches with the manual page modified, or it will be sufficient to create a third patch for the modification? ---------------------------------------- Submit #3044: isp: Unify firmware handling with the rest of the system. http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3044#change-13177 * Author: sucan...@fit.cvut.cz * Status: In Progress * Priority: Normal * Assignee: swildner * Category: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Hello, these patches convert firmware binary data from C arrays in a header files to uuencode .uu files. Byte order of the firmware image is little-endian. As far as DragonFly BSD supports only little-endian architectures it's ok. But in case of a big-endian architecture the byte order must be changed before firmware is processed by the isp driver. They also move the .uu images to a sys/contrib/dev/isp. The first part concerns these firmwares: isp_1040, isp_1040_it, isp_1080, isp_1080_it, isp_12160, isp_12160_it, isp_2100, isp_2200, isp_2300 and isp_2322. The second part concerns these firmwares: isp_2400, isp_2400_multi, isp_2500, isp_2500_multi. The division is needed because a size of a single patch must be less than 5 MB for the bugtracker to accept. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-isp-Unify-firmware-handling-with-the-rest-of-the-sys.patch (3.47 MB) 0002-isp-Unify-firmware-handling-with-the-rest-of-the-sys.patch (4.02 MB) convert.sh (8.24 KB) 0001-isp-Unify-firmware-handling-with-the-rest-of-the-sys.patch (3.49 MB) 0002-isp-Unify-firmware-handling-with-the-rest-of-the-sys.patch (4.02 MB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
