Re: [Trisquel-users] Identifying binary blobs in a driver.

You can post a URL to the driver source, so someone else would check it
too.

Running the deblob-check script from Linux-libre [0] should show
firmware requests and arrays of numbers that look like firmware.  There
might be false positives for data that isn't a blob, the script contains
many exceptions for the ones found in Linux.

[Trisquel-users] Identifying binary blobs in a driver.

[Sachin Dey]

I found a driver for a device which I have been planning to purchase, 
this driver is licensed under GNU GPLv2 but it is not included in any 
popular distros either.


I want to check if the driver loads any binary blobs, how can I check 
that?
