Great! There are a few firmwares (e g echoaudio and hdsploader) that actually are .c files with a big constant array in it, like this: static u_int32_t digiface_firmware[24413] = { 0xffffffff, 0x66aa9955, 0x8001000c, 0xe0000000, 0x8006800c, 0xb0000000, 0x8004800c, 0xb4fc0100, 0x8003000c, 0x00000000, 0x8001000c, 0x90000000, ...etc... Would you prefer the actual .c files in the linux-firmware git tree source (and the makefile that goes with it), or just the output from them (the binary firmware files)? -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic
