I am trying to add suppo= rt for platforms like the NXP i.MX8MQ to the debian-installer disk images. The= se images need to (for example) contain the DDR training blobs which can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.24-fbe0a4c.bin Unfortunately, the NXP Software License Agreement states: > 2.3. [..] If expressly authorized in the > Software Content Register, subject to the terms and conditions of this > Agreement, NXP grants you a [...] license solely in connection with your > manufacturing and distribution of an Authorized System: > [...] > (b) to copy and distribute as needed, solely in connection with an > Authorized System and for use in combination with a NXP Product, My reading of that agreement is, that Debian is not permitted to redistribu= te these blobs. But this in turn means that our disk images will not work out-of-the box with NXP platforms that require these blobs to be loaded ear= ly during boot to function. Could you assist me in connecting with the appropriate person who can help resolve this issue? Maybe there is a possibility for the Debian project to = be allowed to distribute these blobs in its repositories? Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice weekend!
