Subject: Firmware Loading every boot?
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 18:59:39 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52f8d445.c3b2440a.27ca.2b63@mx.google.com> (raw)

Hello List,

I came to know that, linux loads firmware for my dma everytime it boots.
But I don't understand, why it is required to load everytime it boots, don't dma holds which is loaded previously.
AFAIK, firmware is a program which runs in devices.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks :)

Regards,
Jeshwanth
