Matthew N. Dodd once stated: =I was kind of wondering how to avoid compiling in 20 to 60 Kb of =firmware image for support of RAM based TMS380 cards. In addition, =some each particular card may have specific firmware it wants loaded. =I'm looking for some way to load a really basic config file to let the =driver know which image goes with which card. = =Doing this from userland isn't good as I can't do much with the card =until the firmware is loaded. May be the DSI modem model will give an idea? AFAIU, DSI-modem option creates a new ioctl, which can later be used by a userland program to load a firmware file into the board. BTW: FreeBSD does not have such a program, although it is fairly simple to write... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
