  • simple-cdd: Firmware inclusion broken for Bullseye?

    From Scott@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 19 10:30:01 2021
    Hi,

    I have a feeling that non-free firmware inclusion is not working in
    simple-cdd on Bullseye.

    Can anyone confirm that they have a simple-cdd project which has been
    observed to include non-free firmware in the image when run on Bullseye?

    I have a simple-cdd project which includes non-free firmware when run on Buster, but fails to include non-free firmware when run on Bullseye.

    It's been suggested to me to include `export FORCE_FIRMWARE=1` in the
    conf file, but this still doesn't result in the firmware being included
    in the image.

    What I have observed, if this is useful information, is that:

    1. When I run my project without FORCE_FIRMWARE, I see a file called `<my_project>/tmp/cd-build/bullseye/firmware-packages` which includes
    the name of the firmware I want to add to the image.

    2. When I run my project with FORCE_FIRMWARE, I see a file called `<my_project>/tmp/cd-build/bullseye/firmware-packages` AND a file called `<my_project>/tmp/cd-build/bullseye/tasks/firmware` and both these files include the name of the firmware I want to add to the image.

    But the firmware never finds its way into the image.

    If it's any use, here's the project: https://github.com/countermeasure/basic-box/

    Thanks,

    Scott
