With these recent memory allocation changes, such an attempt will cause the application to coredump with a SIGSEGV signal. So there is no point in giving up until we win back the rights to write software for the hardware that we have purchased. We have tried to contact TI, through all the channels available to us. Hopefully some other people will come helping us to make controllers from other vendors work too.

Without those files, these devices are just bits of metal, plastic, and sand. I believe it was reverse engineered by some Linux people, and BSD work is in progress. This has helped with many vendors, most of them quite large. If anyone has any real clout to make changes within institutions that could help us in the long term, please do. And operating system vendors who reuse our code. Even though there are many many companies doing so. In this case, I judge it to be valuable. all Apple computers from the iMac to current models. In his email, Theo provides examples of using the bioctl command to probe and manage RAID drives. all the works of the human brain and hand are either design itself or a branch of that art. We just want to discuss with TI what licensing changes might be possible so that the firmware for their cards can be included in Open Source operating system releases.

About half of the code is a framework to permit RAID controller drivers to do the right thing. not just OpenBSD users. Several vendors including Symbol, Zydas, and Atmel have responded favorably, licensing their firmwares so that they can be distributed freely with OpenBSD.

Having to install a firmware file only found on a CDROM sold with the card after install is crazy. In this case, I judge it to be valuable.
