asahi-nvram: add asahi-nvram 0.2.1 #179

Closed lukaslihotzki closed 2 months ago

lukaslihotzki commented 3 months ago

This PR adds the asahi-nvram tool. The other tools (asahi-bless, asahi-btsync, asahi-wifisync) should be similar.

tpwrules commented 3 months ago

It is certainly not attractive that the primary documentation I can find on these tools is "May or may not result in you having to perform a dfu restore.".

I had a brief look though and it seems that they are available in Fedora but not installed by default. Of note, I don't think asahi-wifisync will do much because we do not ship iwd by default.

asahi-bless looks pretty useful though, and harder to break things with, I'd be fine with just doing that one.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put this in Nixpkgs?

tpwrules commented 3 months ago

I would prefer that, yes.

lukaslihotzki commented 3 months ago

Ok, I can try to contribute these packages to nixpkgs. After this, it would make sense to also upstream asahi-fwextract, bankstown-lv2, and speakersafetyd.

tpwrules commented 3 months ago

I'm not so sure about asahi-fwexctract since it has to match closely with the other components.

flokli commented 2 months ago

@lukaslihotzki did you start sending PRs already? Was looking for these tools today, and couldn't find them here or in nixpkgs.

lukaslihotzki commented 2 months ago

I have now opened a PR in nixpkgs. I don't know if this will get merged there, but at least the branch can be used manually.
