2009-04-06Revert "fix modules_install via NFS"David Woodhouse
This reverts commit 8b249b6856f16f09b0e5b79ce5f4d435e439b9d6. This 'fix' is not necessary; we just need to undo the damage caused accidentally by Igor/Mauro in 4b29631db33292d416dc395c56122ea865e7635c ("V4L/DVB (9533): cx88: Add support for TurboSight TBS8910 DVB-S PCI card") Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2009-01-07fix modules_install via NFSSam Ravnborg
Rafael reported: I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes: HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw /home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get the error above. The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile. And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw. There were two solutions for this issue: 1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file 2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

2008-08-02Fix IHEX firmware generation/loadingMarc Zyngier
Fix both the IHEX firmware generation (len field always null, and EOF marker a byte too short) and loading (struct ihex_binrec needs to be packed to reflect the on-disk structure). Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@misterjones.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2008-07-10ihex: Add support for long records to ihex2fw.cDavid Woodhouse
Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning -- at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files. This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_ bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

2008-07-10ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware imagesDavid Woodhouse
Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but actually representing each record with its original {addr, length}, because some drivers need that information preserved. Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
