Linux firmware

This repository contains all these firmware images which have been extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we have been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.

The upstream repository is located at https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware.git.

Submitting firmware

To submit firmware to this repository, please do one of the following:

• open a MR upstream
• send a git binary diff to [email protected]
• send a git pull request to: [email protected]

Quality

If your commit adds new firmware, it must update the WHENCE file to clearly state the license under which the firmware is available, and that it is redistributable. Being redistributable includes ensuring the firmware license provided includes an implicit or explicit patent grant to end users to ensure full functionality of device operation with the firmware. If the license is long and involved, it's permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the WHENCE file (IE 'See LICENSE.foo for details.'). And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself.

To maintain consistent quality on the repository, please run the following before submitting a patch:

make check

If you don't have pre-commit installed, you can install it with:

pip install pre-commit

Your commit must contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from within the company that owns the code).

Warnings

1. Don't send any CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT in your e-mail, patch or request. Otherwise your firmware will never be accepted.
2. Maintainers are really busy, so don't expect a prompt reply.

Bluetooth random disconnects intel(R) AX200

Hi, I have an intel AX200, and while the wifi works perfectly, the Bluetooth randomly disconnects from devices.
This seems to be a common error that intel has fixed a few days ago: Reddit Broken ax200

It is possible to add those fixes in the package?

Thanks!

Rebase onto 20230629

I see that Ubuntu has recently released https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/tag/?h=Ubuntu-20230629.gitee91452d-0ubuntu1

I think this release contains some patches for MediaTek MT7921 and MT7922 (for example: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/commit/?h=Ubuntu-20230629.gitee91452d-0ubuntu1&id=5ce06b9e07a748b66d0a7d8329563b13f425a6f1), so it would be interesting to see if it has any effect on pop-os/pop#530.

Expected behavior:
The WiFi driver is loaded, and the WiFi works.

Other Notes:
I am sorry if this is the wrong place for this issue.

Bttv module / PCI capture cards

Hello! I'm looking to use some old PCI capture cards (analogue video) with PopOS.

The PCI card is listed as Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)) and according to Video4Linux docs there is a bttv module in the kernel since 2.3 (bt848, bt878 cards). However I can't seem to find it via lsmod, OBS, /dev/video etc. Is this something I would need to re-compile PopOS for?

LinuxTV notes: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bttv_devices_(bt848,_bt878)
HOWTO guide: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/BTTV

Any help much appreciated!

Bluetooth (ar3k) fails due to missing firmware after installation.

Hello,

This is on Pop 22.04.

Bluetooth device: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 04ca:3006 Lite-On Technology Corp.
Comes as part of the wifi module: 03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

The issue: Bluetooth does not appear in gnome-settings.

Booting from Pop USB (intel ISO):

[   19.488844] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[   19.488871] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[   19.488874] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[   19.488875] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[   19.488878] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[   19.855536] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020000.dfu
[   19.857198] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed

Installation goes fine, and the issue persists after the reboot into the new installation.

Checking inside /lib/firmware shows:

otheos@pop-os:/lib/firmware$ ls ar*
ar5523.bin

There is no ar3k folder. However checking inside the linux-firmware package here and at the project's github page, the folder (and all the files in it) is present.

In any event, downloading linux-firmware tar.gz package from the project's github, extracting, copying ar3k to /lib/firmware and rebooting, makes the bluetooth work again, and the output now is:

otheos@pop-os:~$ sudo dmesg | grep Bluetooth
[sudo] password for otheos: 
[    8.727176] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[    8.727195] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[    8.727199] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[    8.727200] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[    8.727203] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[    9.486486] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
[    9.486489] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
[    9.486493] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized
[   10.134136] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
[   10.134143] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
[   10.134150] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11

This same issue is reported separately by other users here.

I can provide full logs if required. Sadly I can't attach the .xz file produce from gnome-settings support page here (maybe consider changing compression to gzip).

Now for the weird part: While this issue appears to happen every time (I performed a number of clean installs to check), in one occasion, the computer booted the ISO from USB and (without the ar3k folder being present, of course), the BT worked. I installed, and it still worked without having to copy the ar3k folder from the firmware package. I am still testing to see any patterns that cause this exception to the norm (of failing). So far this only happened once. It is not related to booting Windows, or resetting the bios. I keep testing.

This is on a Packard Bell iMedia S2885 (an Acer really) desktop (i7 4th gen).

No obvious way to downgrade to previous version

Due to #30, I tried to find a way to install the previous version, but https://apt-origin.pop-os.org/release/pool/jammy/linux-firmware/ only has the very latest version.

Issue/Bug Description:
WiFi doesn't work after kernel update 5.11

Steps to reproduce (if you know):
after last distribution update (3 days ago)

Expected behavior:
WiFi works

Other Notes:

Latest release causes rendering artifacts on Radeon RX 6800 XT

Artifacts seen so far in Unity editor and in Starcraft 2 in-engine cutscenes (installed through Lutris).
These appeared right after an update to linux-firmware and a reboot, though it's possible the kernel changed too, I'm not 100% sure it didn't. The artifacts appear after subsequent reboots, and these apps used to work fine before.

Grey Screen Boot

Hi! I found a issue in POP-OS boot.

I use 2 monitors, sometimes, when i turn on my computer, I come across a grey screen. IDK Why, but...
To solve this problem, disconnect your second monitor and boot the computer again.... (again, IDK why... lol)

Can we provide a solution or something like that??

Diego.

Integrated graphics in Ryzen 7000 broken since latest linux-firmware update

After I did this upgrade to my system: pop-os/repo-release@169c3ea

The integrated graphics on my Ryzen 7800X3D stopped working and I could only boot into my system after disconnecting my second monitor (which is connected to the integrated graphics). I tracked down the warning messages seen in dmesg and found this bug report with the exact same issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2666

A firmware regression was introduced in this commit: ade163a

And seems to have been fixed upstream already: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=d3f66064cf43bd7338a79174bd0ff60c4ecbdf6d

So please look into including that fix as soon as possible!

iwlwifi crash on serw12 during upload test after suspend/resume

On serw12 with AX200NGW, after performing at least one suspend/resume and then running speedtest.net several times, iwlwifi crashes during the upload portion of the test (causing the test to freeze) and sometimes requires manually disconnecting/reconnecting to the network in order to recover.

Discovered this while testing #3, but it occurs before and after that update.

We're seeing this on two separate units (the 1660 Ti version that I have and the 2070 version that @leviport has), so we don't think it's a hardware defect.

dmesg logs from some of the crashes (the crash looks nearly identical in every case):
iwlwifi-crash-1.txt
iwlwifi-crash-2.txt
iwlwifi-crash-3-nonfatal.txt
iwlwifi-crash-4.txt
iwlwifi-crash-5.txt

Crash #3 did not include the line iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Failed to send recovery cmd blob was invalid 1 at the end, and it seemed to recover quicker than the others (it did not require disconnecting/reconnecting to recover.)

Steps to reproduce:

• Boot and suspend/resume at least once
• Run a download+upload speed test (can take 2-4 tests to fail)
• If the crash does not occur, try suspending/resuming again and then running more speed tests

Hi,

Since the last linux-firmware update, I'm frequently experiencing graphical artefacts, followed by a display freeze and then a blank screen in the space of a few seconds. The system appears completely unresponsive to input - I can't drop to another TTY, reset the X server, or ssh to the machine. A hard restart with the power button appears to be my only option. I haven't found an explicit trigger to reproduce it yet.

Inspecting journalctl.log afterwards reveals a series of amdgpu errors and ends with a couple of segfaults in radeon_dri.so:

I'm using an up-to-date Pop!_OS 20.10 installation on a machine with integrated graphics:

• AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics
• B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI
• 16GiB System Memory

Cheers,

iwlwifi sort of broken?

The recent USB installers (*_14.iso and *_16.iso tested) works just fine, Wifi shows up and works.

After reboot the module iwlwifi refuses to install (i.e. modprobe).

I think might have something related to some firmware upload function. I see Debian has a some firmware_iwlwifi package but cannot find anything like that from inside Pop_OS! .. ( see https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware-iwlwifi ). I have not tried to see if those package would install and possibly fix iwlwifi.

Not sure what package (if any) is missing from the installed OS versus the LIVE USB installer image. It's weird.. REALLY weird!

Latest version requires a full-upgrade on 20.04

On Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS, the latest linux-firmware update (from version 1.201.1+system76~1637764303~20.04~07a5d65 to version 20220314.gitcd01f857-0ubuntu2+system76~1648069426~20.04~6a8536b) does not install with a regular apt upgrade (which means it also doesn't install via the Pop!_Shop); it requires a full-upgrade/dist-upgrade.

I'm not sure why, as apt seems to recognize the new version number as higher, and it's not trying to upgrade/downgrade anything else.
