How can I help get updated material from Cypress/Broadcom for Bluetooth
and WiFi firmware into linux-firmware?
The Raspberry Pi folks maintain two repositories[1,2] for firmware
required for their hardware under Raspbian. Their repos have some
firmware not in linux-firmware, and some firmware that is newer than
linux-firmware.
I need to have this hardware work on Raspberry Pi under Yocto [3]. To
do that I currently have to build a linux-firmware package that pulls
from three different locations. Tracking licenses also becomes an issue
because the in-repo Raspbian license is not up to date with the recent
change to LICENCE.Cypress.
I would really like to be able to use only one source. If there's some
reason linux-firmware doesn't carry Bluetooth pieces, I can cope with
that.
I don't feel the provenance of what's in RPi-Distro is clear enough to
take its content and make a pull-request for linux-firmware myself.
The pieces needed include:
From firmware-nonfree [1]:
brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin (matches recent update in linux-firmware)
brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt (as brcmfmac43430-sdio.RPi.txt ?)
brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin (newer than 2015 version in linux-firmware)
brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob (as ...?)
brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt (as brcmfmac43455-sdio.RPi.txt ?)
From bluez-firmware [2]:
BCM43430A1.hcd
BCM4345C0.hcd
Could somebody help me make this happen?
Thanks.
