Hi,
maybee I don't correctly explain situation. Main processor consistfrom ARM core and 3 co-processors. To co-processors should be load FWafter boot sequence, but sometimes is necessary load FW when device isrunning. So stop co-processors and load different FW. I would like toask if this is possible with firmware class API or if exist somesnippet in kernel alraedy.
Thanks
Marek
