at this point to some of Daniel Wagner and Tom Gunderson's firmwared
deamon prospect. It should help pave the way for a clean solution and
help address other stupid issues.

The firmwared project is hosted here

https://github.com/teg/firmwared

As Luis pointed out, firmwared relies on FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, which is not enabled by default. I don't see any reason why firmwared should not also support loading calibration data. If we find a sound way to do this.

As you can see from the commit history it is a pretty young project and more ore less reanimation of the old udev firmware loader feature. We are getting int into shape, adding integration tests etc.

The main motivation for this project is the get movement back in stuck discussion on the firmware loader API. Luis was very busy writing up all the details on the current situation and purely from the amount of documentation need to describe the API you can tell something is awry.

Thanks,
Daniel
