Package Raspberry Pi Libraries

Project Description

The Raspberry Pi includes a number of proprietary libraries. These libraries are expected to be re-licensed under an open source license in the coming months. These libraries are to be packaged ready for inclusion in Fedora; until they are licensed under an open-source license, only the SRPMs will be released.

Project Leader(s)

Eugene Torre

Project Details

The expected outcome is a raspberrypi-firmware (or bcm2835-firmware) package containing the GPU firmware.
