linux/poky.git/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

linux-firmware: drop catch-all QCA package

2025-10-30T11:06:28+00:00

With the linux-firmware now being an empty package there is no need in the catch-all ${PN}-qca-misc package since developers will have to package all firmware separately. Drop useless packages now.

linux-firmware: Add globbing to FILES where missing

2025-10-27T11:37:42+00:00

If compression is used, a lot of compressed firmware files are not packaged otherwise. (From OE-Core rev: 8695d01a47490d48103e9f292e1ea3ee4753d98e) (From OE-Core rev: d3315badb8bf4bc9c32ba13bb31febb6aea3cfe7) Signed-off-by: Zoltán Böszörményi Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

linux-firmware: Fix removing unlicensed firmware if compression is used

2025-10-27T11:37:42+00:00

If FIRMWARE_COMPRESSION is set, the newly added code to remove unlicensed firmware fails with: | Remove unlicensed firmware: acenic/tg1.bin | rm: cannot remove '.../work/all-oe-linux/linux-firmware/20250917/image/usr/lib/firmware/acenic/tg1.bin': No such file or directory This is because the code does not consider that the file may be compressed. Fix it by factoring out the code to construct the compressed file name suffix from do_install:append() into a python function and also use it for the actual file names listed in REMOVE_UNLICENSED.

linux-firmware: Set FILES to ""

2025-10-13T17:01:03+00:00

Now that all of the current firmware has either been moved into sub-packages or removed due to licensing the base package is now empty. Going forward we would like to keep the base package empty and force the version updates to bin any new firmwares into sub-packages.

linux-firmware: Remove unlicensed firmware

2025-10-13T17:01:03+00:00

Create a new REMOVE_UNLICENSED variable and do_install() logic to allow for marking certain firmware files as something to remove and not package up. This comes from the fact that the WHENCE file has a number of firmware entries that have no license information or very questionable declarations as to what the license is for the firmware.

linux-firmware: Move all firmware into sub-packages

2025-10-13T17:01:03+00:00

A lot of the firmware has already been broken out into sub-packages, but a good number were still lingering in the base linux-firmware package. Move all of the remaining firmware into sub-packages based on the driver name in the WHENCE file or into existing sub-packages where a file or two were missed.
