These are pretty much equal to firmware files.

wingrime commented 9 years ago

So Core is important part of SoC so have it much appreciated to have it, as Cortex-M3 can consider like one small cpu core, thats still blob

allwinner-zh commented 9 years ago

/drivers/arisc/binary/* is firmware for co-processor, and there is no opensource for it.

hno commented 9 years ago

Should probably be reworked to use firmware loading interface instead of embedding the firmware into the kernel.

allwinner-zh commented 9 years ago

The format of SCP firmware has been changed from binary to text source.
