Hi Arend,
I'm trying to use a 43241 SDIO chip here, and it fails asking for the
.txt file (brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt). This seems to be an NVRAM map
file, but I could not find either a template on linux-firmware or any
kind of documentation about it.
How do distro handle that ? Are they expected to build their own, or is
it completely OEM pecific ?
Adding Franky to the Cc list.
Cheers,
Samuel.
Hi Samuel,
I had the same proble with a wandboard here and I guess it's a bug. In
/lib/firmware/brcm are all reqired *.bin files, but no *.txt file. On
www.wandboard.or I found a SDK-Kit with brcmfmac4329-sdio.txt, copied
the file and then the wlan was running.
The *.txt are simply forgotten to copy to the firmware directory.
No idea how to fix this.
Hi Bernd,
The hint to solve this is found on wireless.kernel.org [1] and the
answer is as Samuel suspects. This file is very board specific so OEMs
manufacturing/selling the board should provide it either upon request or
through some distribution like a SDK. Because of the nature of the file
we do not put it on linux-firmware although people like yourself can get
lucky trying ;-)
