Yes. That's who I saw say something also.

Any other messages?

Not currently as such. There's a primitive loader in the driver right
now to deal with the symbol cards that need firmware uploaded to
them. Also, the prism2_srec tool is generally for flashing new
firmware, not RAM images (well, I should go look at it again, since
I've not looked at it in a while).
