Hi Alex,

We have recently added the mx6 sdma firmware into the linux-firmware repository.

The license text can be found there as well. Please check:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=3123d78e09d2f...

Hi Alex

this is proprietary software, one can look at

meta-fsl-arm/SCR-4.1.15-1.1.0_ga.txt at master · Freescale/meta-fsl-arm · GitHub 

Best regards
igor

Hi Igor,

thank you for the quick reply. I've analyzed everything you've pointed me to, but information is a bit frustrated.

Let me summarize my questions in the list:

1. I want to use the following firmware: linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree  in my project. There is no information (nor README, nor in git log), which license has exactly this binary.

2. In the link you provided: meta-fsl-arm/SCR-4.1.15-1.1.0_ga.txt at master · Freescale/meta-fsl-arm · GitHub , there is a section:

--------------------------------------------

Package:                   firmware-imx-5.4.bin

Outgoing License:    LA_OPT_BASE_LICENSE v12 March 2016

License Files:           COPYING: LA_OPT_BASE_LICENSE v12 March 2016

Package Category:  BSP

Type of content:       Binaries

Description and comments: BSP firmware - SDMA, VPU

Release Location:    Freescale Yocto Project mirror

Origin:                      Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
                                 Chips & Media, Inc.

--------------------------------------------

which describes SDMA BSP firmware. But according to this text, this license is applied to package: firmware-imx-5.4.bin. I haven't found the origin link to this package. Also I suppose that I'm not able to use binary from the previous bullet with such references.

3. Does NXP provides the pair: firmware and license in a single package, or at least web page with hard links between firmware binary version and license text version?
