![]() ihex firmwares can include a jump address for starting execution. Add a -j option which will cause this to be written into the generated file as a record with address zero and data consisting of the address to jump to, allowing drivers to make use of this information. This format is chosen because it most closely follows the original ihex format, though it may make more sense to write a record with length zero and the address stored as the address. The records are not omitted by default since our ihex format does not include record type information and so including additional records may lead to confusion.

DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY. ====================================== This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware(). As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware here. This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git That repository contains all these firmware images which have been extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_ been permitted to redistribute under separate cover. To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary diff or preferably a git pull request to: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the WHENCE file. Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from within the company that owns the code).
