[alsa-devel] loading firmware to the codec not successful
Hi,
I am working with DM365 custom board the linux kernel version is 2.6.37.
I am working with a cx2070x codec which requires firmware to be loaded. I have placed the firmware file in the path.
"usr/lib/firmware" it is not working, i am getting the error.
cx2070x_download_firmware(): Firmware cx2070x.fw not available -2 cx2070x_init: failed to download firmware
error -2 indicates file not available. I think the path is not correct, can you please suggest which path i should place the firmware file and also any configuration i need to enable in the kernel.
Thank you.

AFAIK this should be /lib/firmware.

In that case, you have to put the firmware image into the kernel, too (see CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL or CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE).
