What is the best way to load a firmware image (microcode) ? AFAIK I've to load the image file first in memory then call firmware_register() but my problem is how should i load the image in memory ?? or should FIRMWS in Makefile be enough ???
FIRMWS is a FreeBSD specific Makefile target and it has not been ported to DragonFly. Basically it builds kld module from raw firmware data. E.g. see the makefiles in sys/modules/iwifw in FreeBSD. You still have to load the module before you call firmware_get() or register the module as dependency in the main module. In DragonFly , afaik you have to provide your mechanism for managing firmware (e.g., through ioctl). Cheers kmb -- Something is wrong up on cloud # 9!
