1===================== 2Firmware search paths 3===================== 4 5The following search paths are used to look for firmware on your 6root filesystem. 7 8* fw_path_para - module parameter - default is empty so this is ignored 9* /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE/ 10* /lib/firmware/updates/ 11* /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE/ 12* /lib/firmware/ 13 14The module parameter ''path'' can be passed to the firmware_class module 15to activate the first optional custom fw_path_para. The custom path can 16only be up to 256 characters long. The kernel parameter passed would be: 17 18* 'firmware_class.path=$CUSTOMIZED_PATH' 19 20There is an alternative to customize the path at run time after bootup, you 21can use the file: 22 23* /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path 24 25You would echo into it your custom path and firmware requested will be 26searched for there first.
