Latest firmware for PinePhone modem!

[p1trson]

Did the update on current pmOS just today (5.9.1), here's  the list of needed (additional) tasks for pmOS:

1) it's not possible to uncompress zstd by default :

Code:

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ tar xvf newfw.tar.zst
tar: invalid tar magic

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$  tar -I zstd -xvf newfw.tar.zst
tar: unrecognized option: I

so install zstd

Code:

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ sudo apk add zstd
[sudo] password for p1trson:
(1/1) Installing zstd (1.4.5-r0)
Executing busybox-1.31.1-r19.trigger
OK: 1105 MiB in 499 packages


pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ unzstd newfw.tar.zst

Code:

newfw.tar.zst       : 118108160 bytes

Code:

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ unzstd qfirehose_good.tar.zst

Code:

qfirehose_good.tar.zst: 409600 bytes

then untaring works

Code:

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ tar xvf newfw.tar
...
pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw$ tar xvf qfirehose_good.tar
...

on pmOS you won't be able to just

Code:

pitrpp:~/Downloads/modem_fw/qfirehose_good$ sudo ./QFirehose -f ../newfw
sudo: unable to execute ./QFirehose: No such file or directory

install following:

Code:

apk add make
apk add gcc
apk add musl-dev
apk add linux-headers

then

Code:

pitrpp:/home/p1trson/Downloads/modem_fw/qfirehose_good# ./QFirehose -f ../newfw

verify the output

Code:
