Summary
qcom-firmware-extractpackage without fork-specific integration changes/usr/lib/firmware/updateson the targetProvenance
The package and original extractor commit are authored by Jimmy Van Veen and extracted cleanly from JimmayVV/omarchy-pkgs@snapdragon. The matching follow-up is authored by Birk Skyum from the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x installation findings.
Why the matching check matters
The Yoga Windows DriverStore contained multiple
cdsp_dtbs.elfvariants. Picking the newest file selected the wrong board firmware. The working variant was identifiable because its siblingqccdsp8380.mbnhash matched the installed firmware for that device-tree node. The extractor now uses that relationship and supports zstd, xz and gzip-compressed installed companions.Validation
The wider Snapdragon ISO and runtime dependencies are tracked in omacom/omarchy-iso#129 and omacom/omarchy#8672.
