The qMp 3.2-rc2 firmware binaries can be found at http://fw.qmp.cat/Releases/archive/3.2-Clearance-RC2. Otherwise, you can compile your own images with your preferred options:

git clone git://qmp.cat/qmpfw.git qmp-3.2-rc2
cd qmp-3.2-rc2
git fetch --tags
git checkout tags/v3.2-rc2
QMP_GIT_BRANCH=v3.2-rc2 make checkout
cd build/qmp && git checkout -b v3.2-rc2 && cd ../..
make J=n T=target

where n is the number of parallel threads to use in the compilation (1, 2, ..., 8...) and targets is the name of the device target to build the image (list them by issuing the command make list_targets).
