Hi all,
I don't know if it is necessary to do this enhancement.
1. Bug 11807:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11807
'CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE' is used to be set to the names of firmware
files which
should be provided by driver vendors.
'CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR' is set to a path which contains above
firmware
files. The default path is /lib/firmware if the
'CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR' is not set.
The path and firmware files must exist in rootfs eventually.
2. Bug 5876:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5876
I think it mean that bbclass should check the state of menuconfig.
I don't know if is necessary to fix these bugs. Could you give me help?
I have some enhancements and other things in flight that can already do
what these two bugs are talking about. Paul and I had discussed some of
the config auditing on the list about a year ago, and agreed that
there's no sense duplicating the functionality that already exists
(rather I was going to tweak a few things to make it more easily
accessible).
If you want, you could assign 5876 to me, and I could take care of it.
Hi Bruce,
Thanks, I will assign it to you.
As for 11807, that is simply a kernel configuration option and it should
be handled like any other. I don't see the need for anything special to
be done.
This option is different from the common options. It can only be set
two types
of value, "" and "filename1 filename2 ...", which depends on customer.
Maybe we can add a variable containing useful firmware in kernel
recipe for customer.
The variable will eventually set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE in .config .
How to translate the variable to CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE and set the
option in .config ?
1. Append do_kernel_configme in kernel recipe with sed command inside it.
2. or modify the bbclass.
I am not sure if the requirement in the bug 11807 is reasonable and if
my above opinion is
practical.
Thanks,
