* Package name    : hfi1-firmware
  Version         : 0.9-46

  Description     : non-free firmware for Intel Omni-Path hfi1 fabric interface

Debian stretch, kernel 4.9.0-2-amd64 includes the hfi1 module that provides
kernel-space ibverbs access to Omni-Path hardware for network communications.
However, the hfi1 module requires non-free firmware in order for the module to
properly initialize.

This package will provide the required firmware for hfi1 hardware. The upstream
URL contains many firmware images. The only binaries that will be installed by
this package are:

  * hfi1_dc8051.fw
  * hfi1_fabric.fw
  * hfi1_pcie.fw
  * hfi1_platform.dat
  * hfi1_sbus.fw

I have been maintaining the Intel Fabric Suite for Omni-Path on Debian for
the past year as an employee of System Fabric Works (SFW). SFW has adequate
hardware and resources to test and maintain this package.

I have tested linux-image-4.9.0-3 with the hfi1_* fimware from linux-firmware.git manually installed to /lib/firmware. The hfi1 module initializes properly.

After doing standard IB and IPoIB configuration,  ib_read_bw, ib_write_bw and "qperf uc_bw ud_bw rc_bw rc_rdma_read_bw rc_rdma_write_bw" all worked fine.

Filed Bug#862458: firmware-misc-nonfree: please add hfi1 firmware
