Description: Firmware required by some USB GPIB devices
As of kernel 6.19, the linux kernel will include GPIB (General Purpose
Interface Bus) drivers.
gpib-firmware is required for some hardware that requires the loading of
firmware. (some Agilent and National Instruments USB/GPIB controllers)
A request for packages that include the user portion of the linux gpib project
to enable programs to access devices on the GPIB and to configure GPIB
controllers has been created.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430590
This package is needed by some devices and is part of the GPIB system.
(I'm not sure if it's appropriate to create a separate request .. but here it
is)
The GPIB is used to control electronic and scientific instruments and was
originally created by Hewlett Packard as the HPIB in the early 1970's. The
standard was formulated as IEEE 488.
(n.b. For several years I have provided RPM packages on COPR for the GPIB
driver (using dkms) and the user libraries, language bindings and
documentation)

These are first packages I have proposed for inclusion in Fedora, so I am
looking for a sponsor (per the instructions)
