Ticket Name: TDA2: how dsp and ipu object file are loaded

Query Text:
Part Number: TDA2 Hi , When i run sample_app.out in linux A15, i find dsp and ipu also start to run after A15. I read the source code, and do not find any code to load the DSP and IPU object files which are located in /lib/firmware of linux file system. Could you explain how linux part load other core object files? Thank you in advance.

Hi , Linux kernel takes care of loading the ipu and dsp firmware , only application binare i.e apps.out is run from the root prompt. Regards Chetan.M

But why the ipu and dsp start information (ex: above print info) is after the app.out running. If it is taken care by kernel, without running apps.out, the dsp and ipu start info should be there as well.

It would be waiting on attach of remote core ( HLOS) once the hlos is started the ipu and dsp prints start up . If you look at the logs before the root prompt you will see loaded firmware success message. Regards Chetan.M
