Installing s5p-mfc firmware

[SevenW]

I try to get xbmc running with HW accelaration following memeka's instructions http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 176#p22107
in dmesg log I see that s5p-mfc firmware can not be loaded. I found the firmware on the forum, and installed it in:

Code: Select all

/lib/firmware/s5p-mfc/s5p-mfc-v6.fw

However, I still get the following message logged:

Code: Select all

[ 4412.596275] s5p_mfc_load_firmware:179: Firmware is not present in the /lib/firmware directory nor compiled in kernel.

Is there a special way to install firmware? Should I also have the file s5p-mfc.fw?

Code: Select all

root@elhokar /lib/firmware # ls -la | grep mfc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root   15 Nov 10 00:43 mfc_fw.bin -> mfc_fw_v6.5.bin

-rw-r-----  1 152169 5000 336K Oct 22 06:37 s5p-mfc-v6.fw

make 2 links names mfc_fw_v6.5.bin and mfc_fw.bin, dunno what is the exact name the kernel looks for.

I have the same problem.
Odroid was powered off when packets updating from the repository. Now it is do not work.

The last message in /var/log/syslog

Mar 3 07:57:59 odroid kernel: [ 3128.225658] s5p_mfc_load_firmware:179: Firmware is not present in the /lib/firmware directory nor compiled in kernel.

and in /var/log/dmesg

[ 22.650390] s5p_mfc_load_firmware:179: Firmware is not present in the /lib/firmware directory nor compiled in kernel.

I do not have any files with extension ".bin" (mfc_fw_v6.5.bin)
I have only

s5p-mfc.fw
s5p-mfc-v6.fw

Where can I download mfc_fw_v6.5.bin?

depending on the OS you're using it's probably enough to install firmware-samsung from your linux repository.

Which distro are you using ?

If it's using systemd that could be the root of the problem.

I can't remember the exact details but with newer systemd, after 2.16, udev no longer loads firmware, systemd does.
But it doesn't work on older kernels. Before 3.7 I think. But definitely on 3.4.

The way I fixed it on Arch linux was to rollback to systemd 2.16 and hold the systemd packages.

The fact it stopped working after an update makes me think it could be this issue ?

2 meveric:
Linux does not boot and ethernet does not rise I can't execute apt-get install.
I tried to find the package on web http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ but ineffectually.

2 gripped:
I also think that the reason for updating. I started to update all packages accidentally.

Now I try to choose one of the two alternatives:
1 - try to repair current system or
2 - copy file system and reinstall the system.

The last command with dd in my history is
dd if=xubuntu-13.10-desktop_armhf_odroidxu_20131025.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M

So.... lets repeat

This gotta be some pretty bad joke.
