| nibbon_ | what's the special spell to perform an early microcode update? I tried following this https://docs.kernel.org/x86/microcode.html#early-load-microcode but didn't work | 13:12 |
|---|---|---|
| nibbon_ | I'm trying to build a initramfs to boostrap a system via tftp | 13:13 |
| vic-thor | can anyone point me some documentation or something about how the linux-firmware package is created? | 13:55 |
| vic-thor | all i find are packages which already contain the binaries | 13:55 |
| ogra | vic-thor, what else would you expect ? it is firmware ... there are no sources available for any of the files in there | 15:34 |
| vic-thor | where do they come from, for example | 15:38 |
| vic-thor | how does it the linux-firmware "official" git gets filtered | 15:38 |
| vic-thor | which files are included and which not | 15:38 |
| ogra | i guess from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git | 15:55 |
| vic-thor | yes, but how to go from the all whole of that to the "chosen ones" in the ubuntu package | 15:59 |
| ogra | "chosen ones" ? | 16:05 |
| ogra | i'm pretty sure the ones in the ubuntu package are from a simple tarball download from that repo (plus perhaps some extra ones added that are proven to be on their way into the kernel.org repo in the near future) | 16:07 |
| vic-thor | no, the files on the git are much, much more | 16:58 |
| vic-thor | then yes, there are some extras and some other tweakings, but from the official one thre is pruning for sure | 16:59 |
| tomreyn | vic-thor: this is more a topic for #ubuntu, not exactly kernel related. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware for more information on how the package is built. | 17:46 |
| tomreyn | hmm okay it says it's managed by the kernel team, so i guess asking here is not wrong | 17:47 |
