Hi Punky,<div><br></div><div>That worked and is now loading correct firmware /lib/firmware/vpmoct032.bin. The dahdi make file has option to "make firmware-loaders". I wonder if this will take the place of the manual extraction process while building dahdi? This firmware is for the on-board hardware echo cancellation modules that optionally come with the wcte12xp PRI card. I have a couple of these running in production for a couple of years now and they really help with the echo. Perhaps if we continue having issues with loading the firmware, or if it's gets to be too manual, we can test with the software echo cancellation. Thanks for your assistance!<div>

Hi Shane,<br>
<br>
Please reinstall dahdi-modules-3.2.6-voyage:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.voyage.hk/dists/experimental/dahdi/dahdi-modules-3.2.6-voyage_2.6.0+dfsg-0.9428+11.0-1_i386.deb" target="_blank">http://www.voyage.hk/dists/<u></u>experimental/dahdi/dahdi-<u></u>modules-3.2.6-voyage_2.6.0+<u></u>dfsg-0.9428+11.0-1_i386.deb</a><br>
<br>
The problem is that vpmadt032_loader is a closed source binary blob. And it is not included in the source code of dahdi kernel module. I need to manual extract the binary blob to module source directory in order to build it.<br>
<br>
This process is too manual that I am trying to avoid. Perhaps you should stay away from the hardware that uses binary blob in the kernel.<br>
<br>
BTW, it is just the firmware loader, I suspect it also needs a firmware as well.<br>
<br>

After further research it looks like the vpmoct032 is now the correct firmware for the vpm module. They have done away with vpmadt032. Now not sure why it is not loading....Perhaps something is wrong with the fwloader. Probably a question for Digium.....<br>

Thanks Punky. I ran that and it looks like it grabbed many firmware entries but I do not see the firmware, or<br>
firmware loader for vpmadt032. Only vpmoct032 and some others.<br>
<br>
I see the firmware and loader at <a href="http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/firmware/releases/" target="_blank">http://downloads.digium.com/<u></u>pub/telephony/firmware/<u></u>releases/</a> Is there a way to<br>
install them if downloaded from there? Dahdi still has same complaints. Install log follows:<br>
