+Builtin microcode
|
|
|
+=================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We can also load builtin microcode supplied through the regular firmware
|
|
|
+builtin method CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL. Here's an example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
|
|
|
+CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-3a-09 amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin"
|
|
|
+CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This basically means, you have the following tree structure locally:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+/lib/firmware/
|
|
|
+|-- amd-ucode
|
|
|
+...
|
|
|
+| |-- microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
|
|
|
+...
|
|
|
+|-- intel-ucode
|
|
|
+...
|
|
|
+| |-- 06-3a-09
|
|
|
+...
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+so that the build system can find those files and integrate them into
|
|
|
+the final kernel image. The early loader finds them and applies them.
