From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 17:05:53 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH-NEXT v2 0/4] package/linux-firmware: install into images for early loading support Message-ID: <20210215160558.19574-1-peter@korsgaard.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Some drivers request their firmware very early when built into the kernel, even before the initramfs is mounted - So the only way to provide firmware for those drivers is to include them directly in the kernel with the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option. To support this, let linux-firmware install its files into BINARIES_DIR in addition to TARGET_DIR, similar to how we do it for intel-microcode. Peter Korsgaard (3): package/linux-firmware: make install logic macro accept a destination parameter package/linux-firmware: also install into images for early loading support linux: build after linux-firmware if enabled for early loading support Yann E.
