FYI, the "firmware" are loaded from flash:which means microcontroller (or microprocessor) + DMA/DDR memory + flash are the usual makeup of an embedded system. flash are non-volatile, but normally it is slower and cannot be executed as CPU or microncontroller instruction. which is why you will need to load it into memory to be executed:cheers.On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 9:29 PM, Jeshwanth <jeshkumar555@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello List,
I came to know that, linux loads firmware for my dma everytime it boots.
But I don't understand, why it is required to load everytime it boots, don't dma holds which is loaded previously.
AFAIK, firmware is a program which runs in devices.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks :)

Jeshwanth
