Hi,
I am developing a network driver which has to read a file 'firmware.bin' and dump it into the modem memory. I want to know how can the file be opened and read inside a driver. As far as I know the normal file operation functions used in User applications like - fopen, fread can't be used in the driver code.
Any suggestions on this is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Vinay
