Hi, I found that in my N900 /lib/firmware directory there are several bin files which are the firmwares for BT&WLAN (bcmfw.bin) and Camera (et8ek8-002.bin), etc.
But in my scratchbox, I downloaded the maemo source code by command below.
apt-get source kernel
And in the source code, I cannot find the bin files. So my question is when building the maemo kernel image, where do the bin files come from?
Someone told me that now we cannot build the maemo kernel image (zImage) due to the whole source code isn't released to users anymore, is it true? Can someone give me the link how to build a zImage of maemo for N900?
Thanks!
