aports: extract aw88261_acf.bin on-device instead of shipping it
New package fp6-vendor-blobs: a manifest-driven systemd oneshot that
copies proprietary blobs out of the stock Android partitions on first
boot. pmOS installs flash only boot+userdata, so every installed unit
still carries the stock vendor/dsp partitions - the device duplicates a
file it already contains, for its own operation, and nothing proprietary
is distributed by us. Partitions are mounted read-only (ext4 additionally
with noload - not even a journal replay touches the stock data), every
copy is sha256-pinned and a miss fails loudly, and the consuming devices
are unbound and re-probed afterwards so the feature works the same boot.
The rebind is unconditional by design: aw88261 binds on a bare i2c
chip-id probe and requests the ACF only at ASoC card init (~21 s, after
SoundWire enumeration), so a bound device can still be one that lost the
firmware race - and that failed request is never retried.
soc-fairphone-fp6-audio (pkgver 4) stops shipping the blob, installs the
manifest fragment instead, and re-runs the extractor from
post-install/post-upgrade so upgrades restore the file immediately (the
old package version removed it on upgrade). License drops back to plain
BSD-3-Clause - nothing proprietary left in the package.
Verified on the dev phone (fp6 repo journal/blobs/captures/
2026-08-24-first-boot-extractor-verification.txt): first-boot extraction
+ same-boot audio, mid-session post-upgrade recovery, and the everyday
fast-path no-op; committed files byte-identical to the tested deployment.

aports: extract vendor blobs before udev coldplug so first-boot audio fully works
The preset fix (6ecc1dc) makes the unit run, but multi-user is too late: the
sound card probes at ~21 s, hard-fails (-2, no retry) on the missing ACF, and
the extractor's amp rebind at ~60 s cannot re-form a card whose machine
driver already failed. Re-probing the machine driver does re-form it, but a
late-formed card has a dead capture path - the wcd9378 TX sequencer refuses
PS0 (act_ps 0x3) until the next boot. So rebinding after the fact can never
fully win; extraction has to happen before the drivers probe.
- fp6-vendor-blobs.service: DefaultDependencies=no, run after remount-fs and
before systemd-udev-trigger, so blobs exist before module coldplug.
multi-user stays a second Wants as a post-udev retry if the early run
failed (by-partlabel/make-dynpart-mappings fallbacks need udev).
- aw88261-acf.manifest: add 'rebind platform sound' so the fallback path at
least recovers playback the same boot (capture then heals on reboot).
- fp6-vendor-blobs.post-upgrade (pkgrel 1): systemctl preset + immediate
extract, so installs of the 2026-08-24 image (unit shipped disabled, no
version bump to deliver the preset) finally heal via plain apk upgrade.
- soc-fairphone-fp6-audio pkgrel 1: carries the manifest change.
Verified on the dev phone with the exact staged bytes (sha256-compared):
simulated fresh install (ACF removed, reboot) extracts at 13.3 s, coldplug
probes the amps at 15.1 s, card init at 20.9 s loads the ACF cleanly, and a
1 kHz speaker-to-mic loopback passes on that same first boot with zero TX
sequencer warnings; next boot takes the all-dests-present fast path in 25 ms.
Evidence: fp6 repo journal/blobs/, 2026-08-29.

# Rebinds are the FALLBACK for a card that probed before extraction (the
|
|
|
|
|
# service normally runs pre-coldplug, so they no-op). The amps bind on i2c
|
|
|
|
|
# probe but request the ACF only at card init, never retried on failure; and
|
|
|
|
|
# when that failed card init already took the machine driver down (-2, not a
|
|
|
|
|
# defer), re-probing the amps alone cannot re-form the card - the platform
|
|
|
|
|
# device needs a fresh probe too. Note the recovered card plays back fine
|
|
|
|
|
# but its capture path is dead until the next boot (wcd9378 TX sequencer
|
|
|
|
|
# refuses PS0 on a late-formed card - journal/blobs/ 2026-08-29).
