** Description changed:
- We want to package platform firmware files for Jetson Orin devices.
- Nvidia decided to put those files apart from the kernel OOTM and provide
- them separately as part of their BSP releases. The firmware files are
- enabling key feature such as WIFI and Bluetooth that are tested by our
- device certification test plan.
+ To enable NVIDIA Tegra Jetson Orin devices with Ubuntu, some
+ lib/firmware files are needed for all the hardware to work. Nvidia
+ releases these files as part of their Jetson Linux images in deb format
+ and updates them regularly as part of their BSP releases. The firmware
+ files are enabling key feature such as WiFi and Bluetooth that are
+ typically needed for a full Ubuntu device certification test plan.
- That's why we need to package in the archive and maintain them up-to-
- date with every new BSP drop.
+ Canonical is working with NVIDIA to enable this hardware with Ubuntu,
+ and will be doing the work of (re)packaging these firmware files,
+ testing and maintaining the packages in Ubuntu.
+
+ The first Ubuntu series that will be certified is jammy, and noble will
+ follow, but we will prepare the packages for the latest plucky
+ development release and then work on backports.
