Subject: qcserial/gobi firmware loader
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2009 16:27:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090404152731.GA5080@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090403164551.GA23689@srcf.ucam.org>
I've reimplemented Alexander's shell scripts for firmware loading in C
and added a udev rule to automatically trigger the loading[1]. Thanks to
Sergey's hint I've added checksumming support so it should work on other
firmwares as well. The firmware needs to be obtained somehow and then
put in /lib/firmware/gobi, but should then automatically load when the
device is ready.
You can download this at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/
[1] The firmware to be loaded depends on the user's network, so I can't
think of an especially clean way of doing this in kernel.
