Hello!
According to add fw for dvb tuner · Issue #1157 · home-assistant/operating-system · GitHub, it is possible to add firmware search paths as boot parameter in cmdline.txt, e.g. for additional firmware:
There is even a option to specify a custom search path, which is what I utilized.
The path can be specified using a kernel boot parameter. I my case I placed the firmware files in the /share folder exposed to the supervisor, specifically/share/firmware
.
Within the underlying operating system the path translates to/mnt/data/supervisor/share/firmware
. This path is what is need for the kernel parameter.firmware_class.path=/mnt/data/supervisor/share/firmware/
must be added to cmdline.txt on the PI SD card.
On the next boot the HAOS will happily load the firmware from the specified location.
However, my /mnt
path is empty, and when I create the whole path /mnt/data/supervisor/share/firmware
(with sudo
via unrestricted terminal), after reboot, /mnt
is empty again.
I am running HA on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the default installation.
What am I missing? Thanks a lot for your help!
