Firmware updated for 6.12.x kernel

January 28, 2025 — BarryK

There is a script that I use, /usr/local/firmware/extract-fw-all. I copy the script to a working area, then download latest firmware from https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware, then:

# tar -xf linux-firmware-main.tar.gz
# sync
# cp -a -f --remove-destination linux-firmware-main/* /usr/lib/firmware/
# sync
# ./extract-fw-all

# mkdir -p firmware_linux_all_k6p12-20250128/usr/lib
# cp -a fnd-firmware/lib/firmware firmware_linux_all_k6p12-20250128/usr/lib/

took out some big firmware, to firmware_linux_extra_k6p12-20250128

# dir2pet firmware_linux_all_k6p12-20250128

The PET is 110MB, very big. The previous one, used in Easy Scarthgap and Daedalus, is 103MB.
