Why do we need linux-firmware on managarm? |

One nitpick: amd-ucode is the only package not prefixed with |
I plan on attempting to bring up a Radeon card, which would require firmware files from the In addition, there really is no point in not adding packages for other drivers such as i915. @no92 is also working on a intel GPU driver, which may require firmware files from the The amd-ucode package was made simply because I could, and loading microcode at some point would probably be a good idea :meme: |
Convention; most distributions do this, probably because the intel equivalent (which is not made with linux-firmware) is called |
|
Legality question, can we redistribute this as a binary package? Or would that pose issues? @ArsenArsen @avdgrinten. This in connection to xbbs obviously. |

As far as I know, it is presumed that all (or at least most) files in linux-firmware are at least redistributable. |

some of them, see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20230804.ebuild (specifically, stuff affected by the bindist and redistributable flags). |

Bump here again, an intel-lil GPU driver would benefit from having the GuC and HuC firmware blobs, which we would need to supply. Loading CPU microcode would also be interesting to do at some point. As mentioned before, all packages created here only contain firmware files which are redistributable. |
