Hi,

I am working with DM365 custom board the linux kernel version is 2.6.37.

I am working with a codec which requires firmware to be loaded. I have placed the firmware file in the path.

"usr/lib/firmware" it is not working, i am getting the error.

codec_download_firmware(): Firmware codec.fw not available -2
codec_init: failed to download firmware

error -2 indicates file not available. I think the path is not correct, can you please suggest which path i should place the firmware file and also any configuration i need to enable in the kernel.

Thank you.

Hi,

actually there was a hardware jumper i need to un-install for bringing the system ready for loading firmware.

so it did not worked. the firmware file needs to be placed in the lib/firmware/ directory.

Now i am able to load the firmware dynamically.
