Firmware files are flavor agnostic and should live somewhere under lib/firmware for RIP builds and under /lib/firmware for system installs. The latter is the standard location for such files, and the big distros will want them there anyway. That firmware will be included in the base BeagleBone package where it can be used along with any flavor sub-package. The same goes for Mesa firmwares. Of course it doesn't make sense to put Mesa PCI card firmwares in the BB packages (or PRU firmware in x86 pkgs) but it would make sense to put 7i80 firmware in both. In any of these cases, firmware should still go in the base package. >> Is there an easy way to point to files (from within C code) inside >> the active linuxcnc run-in-place build? > > yes, there is; the pertinent paths can be pulled from > etc/linuxcnc/rtapi.ini by means of calling get_rtapi_config(): > https://github.com/mhaberler/linuxcnc/blob/unified-build-candidate-2/src/rtapi/rtapi_compat.c#L274 > > see linuxcnc/src$ grep -r get_rtapi_config src for some usage > examples Note again this path should go in the [global] section, not some [flavor] section. :) Somewhat OT for this thread, do we have both Xenomai and RT_PREEMPT kernels for the BeagleBone?
