large data arrays within .c source
|
Keith.Wheeler@...
Good day,
Our board support requires a .c file that is essentially a large data array. If the source file includes appropriate open source wording in the comments, is this acceptable?
Thank you,
-Keith Wheeler Principal Engineer, Infineon

Hi Keith,
What does the data array represent or contain?

Carles,
Our board has a separate connectivity (WiFi/BT) radio IC. The array is patch/executable required by the external device, which must be loaded on to the external device by the host processor.

Hi, I wonder how an array containing binary data created from source code with an unknown license can be said to conform to this: > Integrating code into the Zephyr Project from other projects that use a license other than the Apache 2.0 license /torsten

I think in general, we should push vendors away from binary blobs if we can, which would help keep the contribution guidelines to a high standard. Simply rejecting the vendors' blobs during the code review process will force them to reconsider how to submit source code instead of a binary. We can learn from the coreboot project, which has been trying to define their own policies around binary blobs recently.

Hi, I suggest reviewing this document which will be discussed in the TSC this week:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1heqcv7dzGvM5rA9xpTMW3kyKJLpZsl2Gjsmr5eqBje8/edit
Look at the “Allowed types” section.
