SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================================================= +Firmware of PCIe controller for Renesas R-Car V4H +================================================= + +Renesas R-Car V4H (r8a779g0) has a PCIe controller, requiring a specific +firmware download during startup. + +However, Renesas currently cannot distribute the firmware free of charge. + +The firmware file "104_PCIe_fw_addr_data_ver1.05.txt" (note that the file name +might be different between different datasheet revisions) can be found in the +datasheet encoded as text, and as such, the file's content must be converted +back to binary form.
