Include firmware blob in nixOS

Help
21

Thanks, I was thinking about embedding.

Do you have an Idea why this stopped working with kernel 6.6.52?
Before, the kernel was able to load the firmware at a later, repeated attempt.

Now it just doesn’t happen.

Thanks in any case!

I assume you’re using an SoC based on imx8mm-kontron. There are a few DTS changes for it in v6.6.23. But to get a more concrete answer, you’ll need to use git-bisect(1).

@thefossguy can I mix a config file (pointed at through .configfile = ) and an extraConfig key?

I don’t understand what you mean. Can you clarify what exactly do you wish to achieve?

Damn, it was CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK.

I changed it in the config file, but nix failed to recognize the change.

Do you have an Idea why nix ignored changes in config?
It is tracked by git, and eventually the change was applied…
