The driver is under 'staging' - maintained by Greg Koah-Hartman The firmware blob in 'srec' format for prism 2/3 usb adaptors. The driver will read the srec file using a standard request_firmware() call, and will convert it into the appropriate binary format and upload to the adaptor. Note the processing is left to the driver (rather than pre-compiling) because the driver needs to insert runtime data obtained from the adaptor into the blob. The appropriate insertion locations are conveyed by the srec format.
