[DragonFlyBSD - Submit #3044] isp: Unify firmware handling with the rest of the system.

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3044 has been updated by sucanjan at fit.cvut.cz.


I have searched the Qlogic web site and haven't got any useful results. It seems that for the older cards (and also for some newer) there are no files for download, and the mapping between device identification and firmwares is not very clear. I think that the "more or less easily downloadable" requirement is not satisfied and it will be easier to use other BSD systems as a source of the firmware.

Hello,

these patches convert firmware binary data from C arrays in a header files to uuencode .uu files. Byte order of the firmware image is little-endian. As far as DragonFly BSD supports only little-endian architectures it's ok. But in case of a big-endian architecture the byte order must be changed before firmware is processed by the isp driver. They also move the .uu images to a sys/contrib/dev/isp.

The first part concerns these firmwares: isp_1040, isp_1040_it, isp_1080, isp_1080_it, isp_12160, isp_12160_it, isp_2100, isp_2200, isp_2300 and isp_2322.
The second part concerns these firmwares: isp_2400, isp_2400_multi, isp_2500, isp_2500_multi.

The division is needed because a size of a single patch must be less than 5 MB for the bugtracker to accept.
