Add functionality for loading firmware files provided by the vendor to be flashed into the device's internal flash memory. The firmware consists of several components, such as the firmware executable itself, chip-specific customizations, and configuration files. The firmware file contains at least a flash utility, which is executed on the device side, and one or more flashable components. Each component has its own specific properties, such as the address where it should be loaded during flashing, one or more destination flash pages, and the flashing method that should be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
