This repository contains pre-compiled binaries of the current Raspberry Pi kernel and modules, userspace libraries, and bootloader/GPU firmware.
A rough guide to this repository and the licences covering its contents is below (check the appropriate directories for more specific licence details):
- boot:
- start*.elf, fixup*.dat and bootcode.bin are the GPU firmwares and
bootloader. Their licence is described in boot/LICENCE.broadcom.
- The kernel.img files are builds of the Linux kernel, released under the GPL
(see boot/COPYING.linux)
- The dtbs, overlays and associated README are built from Linux kernel
sources, released under the GPL (see boot/COPYING.linux)
 
- start*.elf, fixup*.dat and bootcode.bin are the GPU firmwares and
bootloader. Their licence is described in 
- debug: pre-built modules for the kernel_debug.img (boot/COPYING.linux)
- documentation/ilcomponents: OpenMax IL documentation (boot/LICENCE.broadcom)
- extra: System.map files for the provided kernel builds (boot/COPYING.linux), and dt-blob.dts (boot/LICENCE.broadcom)
- hardfp/opt/vc: userspace VideoCoreIV libraries built for the armv6 hardfp ABI
(opt/vc/LICENCE)
- modules: pre-built modules for kernel.img (boot/COPYING.linux)
- opt/vc: includes userspace libraries for the VideCoreIV - EGL/GLES/OpenVG
etc. (opt/vc/LICENCE)
