$FreeBSD$ This is a simple example of the firmware(9) system. It consists of two parts: 1) fwimage This is the firmware image (the ascii art of beastie from the boot menu). The Makefile lists the firmware file "firmware.img" and the short handle for this firmware image "beastie". Note that the module is called "beastie" as well so that it can be loaded automatically if requested. 2) fwconsumer This module tries to get the a firmware image called "beastie", checks if the data is '\0'-terminated and prints it to the console. It keeps a reference to the firmware until it is unloaded. This is mainly to demonstrate how to construct firmware image modules. |
