Hi,
Chase Douglas (@canonical) and I plan to take what's left of alsa-firmware and try to merge it into linux-firmware, this might happen now or in the coming weeks. This will make alsa-firmware obsolete as all firmware will be provided by linux-firmware instead.
Any words of disagreement, warnings or encouragement before we do so?
Encouragement, certainly...
Great!
There are a few firmwares (e g echoaudio and hdsploader) that actually are .c files with a big constant array in it, like this:
static u_int32_t digiface_firmware[24413] = { 0xffffffff, 0x66aa9955, 0x8001000c, 0xe0000000, 0x8006800c, 0xb0000000, 0x8004800c, 0xb4fc0100, 0x8003000c, 0x00000000, 0x8001000c, 0x90000000, ...etc...
Would you prefer the actual .c files in the linux-firmware git tree source (and the makefile that goes with it), or just the output from them (the binary firmware files)?
