What is the default directory for firmware?

Hello,

I am using ivtv with Hauppauge Win PVR 350.
The driver wants to load firmware on boot
but cannot find it.

I cannot seem to set the FIRMWARE_DIR environment variable
during boot early enough on Debian to allow the driver to use
it.

I have tried placing the firmware in all the suggested directories
mentioned in the firmware wiki documentation to no avail.

What is the default firmware directory for ivtv?
Can I set a default firmware directory?

Thanks,

Peter

Re: What is the default directory for firmware? [In reply to]

I believe you can find that information here: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware

In short:

test -d /lib/modules && FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/modules
test -d /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware && FIRMWARE_DIR=/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
test -d /lib/firmware && FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware
test -d /lib/firmware/`uname -r` && FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware/`uname -r`
echo $FIRMWARE_DIR

should show you which directory to use.
