| ===================== | |
| Firmware search paths | |
| ===================== | |
| The following search paths are used to look for firmware on your | |
| root filesystem. | |
| * fw_path_para - module parameter - default is empty so this is ignored | |
| * /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE/ | |
| * /lib/firmware/updates/ | |
| * /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE/ | |
| * /lib/firmware/ | |
| The module parameter ''path'' can be passed to the firmware_class module | |
| to activate the first optional custom fw_path_para. The custom path can | |
| only be up to 256 characters long. The kernel parameter passed would be: | |
| * 'firmware_class.path=$CUSTOMIZED_PATH' | |
| There is an alternative to customize the path at run time after bootup, you | |
| can use the file: | |
| * /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path | |
| You would echo into it your custom path and firmware requested will be | |
| searched for there first. |
