Yes, the above file name looks incorrect. "dmc_gen9.bin" was the name for the firmware image with the old layout. This patchset adds support for the new firmware layout starting from ver 1, while the old layout doesn't need to be supported. In an earlier version of this patch the filename was changed to "i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin" not sure why that change got dropped. I think we could just use this latter name. --Imre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
