Arch Linux

Byte: Thanks for the reminder! I pushed the package to aur4.

I am not sure what is relevant in the comment thread. This script does not extract the signed firmwares, nvidia will have to put them in linux-firmware.

also relevant: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/811363-nouveau-x-org-driver-to-drop-maxwell-glamor-support (imirkin's comments)

But I'm originally here to ask for importing this into AUR4. Else this pkg will be gone in three weeks.

To answer my previous question, which will get solved soon:

Oh, I'll need to update the description of the package, as the maxwell firmwares are not found by the script...

@ArthurBorsboom: Sorry, I completely forgot to answer you. This package will not help you get those firmwares. However, you may use this version of Nouveau that implement an open firmware for your GM107: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau

@jose1711: NVIDIA shuffled a lot of things around and newer versions of the driver do not allow us to get as many firmwares. As there is not support for video decoding on maxwell, then there is no point in updating this package AFAIK. Ilia Mirkin would know better, I'll need to check.

isn't this just a matter or pointing to a more recent nvidia *run (binary driver) file?

Hi MuPuf,

Any news on getting new firmwares into this package?
My GTX 750 Ti needs the following (currently) missing firmwares.

Direct firmware load for nouveau/nv117_fuc409c failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for nouveau/fuc409c failed with error -2

@kiodo1981: Hey, we are using the 32 bits version because both the 32 and 64 bits version have the same firmwares. However, the 32 bit version is much smaller, hence why we are using it!

As for the 340.32 support, I already answered that right under your comment. I've asked the developer behind extract_firmware.py to see if he found out how the kernel firmwares are stored on not.

Again, if you have any bug with the current version of the firmwares, please let us know on #nouveau. Otherwise, there is no point in "upgrading" since the firmwares are likely exactly the same ;)

extract_firmware.py add 340.32 FW
Please update.

64bit version?

I unflagged the package because using a newer version of the blob would produce less firmwares since we don't know yet how to extract PGRAPH's fw from the new blob!

If anyone of you have a bug with the current version of the blob, please inform us on #nouveau!
