# 1.7 15-May-2022 mrg

install the lower case radeon firmware files into /usr/libdata/firmware.

radeon has different case but same name firmware files. the lower case
ones are already installed into /libdata/firmware, and to avoid having
to provide some special method to build on systems with case-preserving
file systems (such as macOS), we install the lower case ones in /usr.

this means that anyone that requires the lower case files must either
have /usr as part of the / file system, or manually keep them updated.

last part of PR#54976, though i doubt we'll try to pull up these.

this is enabled on i386, amd64 and arm64.


# 1.6 14-Dec-2021 maya

don't conditionalize the installation of nouveau directories


# 1.5 13-Dec-2021 maya

Add newer nouveau firmware build goo

Symlinks inferred from linux-firmware/WHENCE and compared to a linux distro's
firmware.

Note: said linux distro appears to have some mistakes compared to the
linux-firmware repo in linking ucode_unload.bin to unload_bl.bin and vice
versa in some places.
I didn't replicate this aspect, and lack the hardware to test it.


# 1.4 12-Dec-2021 maya

Add amdgpu firmware build goo (disabled)


# 1.3 25-Sep-2021 maya

Restore MKNOUVEAUFIRMWARE and MKRADEONFIRMWARE and make gpufw set unconditional

Simplifies logic.
Restoring MK* requested by mrg on tech-kern discussion

# 1.2 25-Sep-2021 maya

Remove duplicate line - also appears in base/mi.


# 1.1 25-Sep-2021 maya

Move DRM-driver firmware from base to its own set, gpufw

This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.

Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.

An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.
