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 ?
