Hi All,
Broadcom BT4.0 module 0a5c:21e1 and 0a5c:21e3 need firmware
to setup(enable) at the first time we use.
We got the firmware and firmware uploader (brcm_patchram_plus_usb )
( user space tool ) from Broadcom ,the Licence is GPLv2,
would it possible that add those to bluez package?or any idea for this?
please correct me if i got any mistake,thanks.
Sincerely,
AL

Should firmware come to linux-firmware package? Description: Firmware for Linux kernel drivers This package provides firmware used by Linux kernel drivers. Do not know about "firmware-loader", probably we need to use available tools. Best regards Andrei Emeltchenko ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

IMO the standard way is to use request_firmware like for ath3k: request_firmware(&firmware, "ath3k-1.fw", &udev->dev) > So I guess add those to bluez would be better. Most probably that "firmware loader" might be implemented in module as for other devices as it is usually just a sequence of HCI commands. Have a look at other BCM modules in drivers/bluetooth/bcm* Best regards Andrei Emeltchenko > > > Description: Firmware for Linux kernel drivers > > This package provides firmware used by Linux kernel drivers. > > > > Do not know about "firmware-loader", probably we need to use available tools. > > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I have sent the firmware uploader source code as a patch to this mailing list, named: "How to add firmware uploader function to Bluez? (Broadcom firmware uploader)" There are Make file and source code "brcm_patchram_plus_usb.c" in this patch. If you want to compiler this use "make" and need bluez-devel package for bluetooth.h, hci.h , and hci_lib.h.. I don't have enough knowledge about Bluez tool rules ,please correct me if i got any mistake.
