Android replaces udev and hotplug with its own substitute helper program(s). While having a look at /system/core/init/devices.c I see that it even has support for loading firmware (like in binary blobs for wifi drivers), thus I deduct that init handles these calls.
Now here's the problem, when I run "request_firmware" from my kernel android init doesn't pick up the uevent (and obviously doesn't copy the firmware to the right /sys file). Even setting it as the firmware helper in the kernel (which normally goes to hotplug) only results in the system hanging on bootup. So, all ye Android platform porters, what is the elegant Android way of running an "insmod" that needs firmware? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
