The stuff that needs some more testing is exactly the second stage loader support, yes. That never worked before ... so since it works for at least some cases now, it's an improvement!
If you run into any cases where code that only uses a single stage loader (the 0xA0 hardware loader, and on-chip memory) doesn't work, let me know. - Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Hards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Brownell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Greg KH" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [linux-usb-devel] [PATCH] 2.4.18-rc2-gregkh-1 > On Wed, 27 Feb 2002 07:16, David Brownell wrote: > <snip> > > The "fxload" utility (on linux-hotplug) works nicely to download > > FX2 firmware, including test firmware.
