Occasionally, a package install goes wrong, and you’re left to pick up the pieces. Package managers have the ability to fix broken packages and skip broken updates to get your system working again and avoid troubles in the future. This article covers how to fix broken packages in Linux. Open the firmware folder that contains the 5 binaries with.tar.md5 extension. Click the BL button in Odin, navigate to the firmware folder, and add the file that has “BL” in its name. Then click the AP button and select the firmware binary with “AP” in its name The AP file will take a while to load in Odin because of its heavy size. It relies on some libs that have been removed from my environment, but I have some stub libs someplace where it works fine. Id like to point this executable to these stub libs. Yes, i could set LDLIBRARYPATH, but this executable is called from many scripts, and many users and I'd love to fix it in one spot.
Linux firmware is a package distributed alongside the Linux kernel that contains firmware binary blobs necessary for partial or full functionality of certain hardware devices. These binary blobs are usually proprietary because some hardware manufacturers do not release source code necessary to build the firmware itself.
Modern graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA almost certainly require binary blobs to be loaded for the hardware to operate correctly.
Starting at Broxton (a Skylake-based micro-architecture) Intel CPUs require binary blobs for additional low-power idle states (DMC), graphics workload scheduling on the various graphics parallel engines (GuC), and offloading some media functions from the CPU to GPU (HuC).[1]
Additionally, modern Intel Wi-Fi chipsets almost always require blobs.[2]
Installation
For security reasons, hotloading firmware into a running kernel has been shunned upon. Modern init systems such as systemd have strongly discouraged loading firmware from userspace.
Kernel
A few kernel options are important to consider when building in firmware support for certain devices in the Linux kernel:
Including firmware files into binary kernel images that are not available under the terms of the GPL, may result in a violation of the GPL if the image is distributed. It is wise to consult a lawyer before distributing images that contain firmware files from sys-kernel/linux-firmware.
For kernels before 4.18:
- CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL (DEPRECATED)
- Note this option has been removed as of versions v4.16 and above.[3] Enabling this option was previously necessary to build each required firmware blob specified by EXTRA_FIRMWARE into the kernel directly, where the
request_firmware()function will find them without having to make a call out to userspace. On older kernels, it is necessary to enable it.
Binary Firmware In Fedora Fix Mac
For kernels beginning with 4.18:
- Firmware loading facility ( CONFIG_FW_LOADER )
- This option is provided for the case where none of the in-tree modules
- Build named firmware blobs into the kernel binary ( CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE )
- This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of firmware files to be built into the kernel. These files will then be accessible to the kernel at runtime.
USE flags
USE flags forsys-kernel/linux-firmwareLinux firmware files
initramfs | Create and install initramfs for early microcode loading in /boot (only AMD for now) |
redistributable | Install also non-free (but redistributable) firmware files |
savedconfig | Allows individual selection of firmware files |
unknown-license | Install firmware files whose license is unknown |
Emerge
Optional: Savedconfig
After emerging sys-kernel/linux-firmware, the configuration file is made into /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-ddmmyyyy. This file can be edited and the unwanted lines be commented out or deleted. Edit and save the file and re-emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware with the savedconfig USE flag:
root #echo sys-kernel/linux-firmware savedconfig >> /etc/portage/package.use/kernelTroubleshooting
Searching for loaded firmware
dmesg can be grepped to determine what firmware has been loaded:
