32 | ## WiFi firmware blobs | ||
33 | |||
34 | Be aware that the WiFi firmwares for the supported boards are not provided by | ||
35 | `linux-firmware` but by a custom recipe which only packages the needed blobs | ||
36 | for these boards. This is because the upstream `linux-firmware` doesn't support | ||
37 | or has outdated files for the blobs we need. The recipe | ||
38 | `linux-firmware-raspbian` is based on a fork of `linux-firmware` which | ||
39 | includes everything we need in order to fully support the WiFi hardware. All | ||
40 | machines define `MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS` accordingly. | ||
