2 Built-in firmware
5 Firmware can be built-in to the kernel, this means building the firmware
6 into vmlinux directly, to enable avoiding having to look for firmware from
7 the filesystem. Instead, firmware can be looked for inside the kernel
8 directly. You can enable built-in firmware using the kernel configuration
14 There are a few reasons why you might want to consider building your firmware
19 want to stuff the firmware into the boot initramfs.
22 able to make use of built-in firmware:
24 * Legalese - firmware is non-GPL compatible
25 * Some firmware may be optional
26 * Firmware upgrades are possible, therefore a new firmware would implicate
28 * Some firmware files may be really large in size. The remote-proc subsystem
29 is an example subsystem which deals with these sorts of firmware
30 * The firmware may need to be scraped out from some device specific location
