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)
extra: System.map files for the provided kernel builds (boot/COPYING.linux), and dt-blob.dts (boot/LICENCE.broadcom)
modules: pre-built modules for kernel.img (boot/COPYING.linux)
