Christian,
Thanks for the info, that has got me passed the firmware loading stage, I am
still a little confused has to the criterion for including firmware in the
kernel image, for example in this case radeon/R700_rlc.bin and
radeon/RV710_uvd.bin seem to be a "must include" where as
radeon/RV710_pfp.bin and radeon/RV710_me.bin seem to be happy loaded from the
file system at boot time. Obviously early in the boot sequence there are less
resources to perform things like file loading but to me it seems some what
arbitrary, the documentation suggest to me that within certain constraints it
is a developers choice. What is your view ?
Thanks
Stuart Foster
