28For other uses it's recommended to base images on `core-image-minimal` or
29`core-image-base` as appropriate. The old image names (`rpi-hwup-image` and
30`rpi-basic-image`) are deprecated.

32## WiFi firmware blobs
33
34Be 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
36for these boards. This is because the upstream `linux-firmware` doesn't support
37or has outdated files for the blobs we need. The recipe
38`linux-firmware-raspbian` is based on a fork of `linux-firmware` which
39includes everything we need in order to fully support the WiFi hardware. All
40machines define `MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS` accordingly.
