Subject: [DistroKit] [PATCH] v8a: add firmware nxp wifi package
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:59:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120085919.3684175-2-f.pfitzner@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Some NXP WiFi chips require additional firmware that is not contained in the
firmware-imx or linux-firmware package.
One of these chips is the iw612 WiFi chip, where the firmware is contained
in another repository [1].
Thus create a rule to install further firmware files from this
repository. As of now, install only the iw612 firmware.
Later we can add more if needed.

+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: consider parent directories for INSTALLDIR
+
+If INSTALLDIR contains more than one level of directories (e. g.
+"/lib/firmware/nxp"), it fails creating them.
+
+Add "-p" to mkdir in order to allow the creation of multiple directories.
