Hi, I'm CCing Maxim, since he seems to be the last developer from TI to post patches for the WiLink drivers here.

AFAICT, the license text in the github repository you pointed to is not exactly the same as the one in linux-firmware.git. So, not being a lawyer, I don't know how you could handle that, since the license in github explicitly says that you need to reproduce that license. > Regards, > Gary > > On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 7:32 PM, Gary Bisson > <gary.bis...@boundarydevices.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am wondering why the w127x and wl128x firmware files have not been > > updated to their latest version (since Jan 2014)? > > > > The current version in the linux-firmware repo are: > > - 6.3.10.0.133 for single-role > > - 6.5.7.0.42 for multi-role > > > > Looking at TI's forum[1], they recommend using the latest one to avoid > > issues like firmware reload: > > - 6.3.10.0.139 for single-role > > - 6.5.7.0.47 for multi-role > > > > The up-to-date firmware files can be found in the following repo: > > https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/ti-utils/tree/master/hw/firmware > > > > What is the procedure to update them, does it need to be a TI employee > > that sends the patch?

If I were you, I'd keep poking at current TI developers to see if they can send these new FW versions to linux-firmware.git. They probably even have newer versions than the ones published in github. > > Regards, > > Gary > > > > [1] > > https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/wilink_wifi_bluetooth/f/307/p/350832/1236099#1236099 -- Cheers, Luca.
