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 Sent from my HTC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
