However, the hfi1 module requires non-free firmware in order for the module to properly initialize. This package will provide the required firmware for hfi1 hardware. The upstream URL contains many firmware images. The only binaries that will be installed by this package are: * hfi1_dc8051.fw * hfi1_fabric.fw * hfi1_pcie.fw * hfi1_platform.dat * hfi1_sbus.fw I have been maintaining the Intel Fabric Suite for Omni-Path on Debian for the past year as an employee of System Fabric Works (SFW). SFW has adequate hardware and resources to test and maintain this package.
