Hello everybody
how to get the dongle firmware version?
is it the "HCI Ver: XXX" on "hciconfig -a"?
Does someone know dongles with a firmware version >= 16.4?
regards
Marco Trudel

I've seen recently a few messages about new firmwares, is there a list of
dongles and firmwares available?
I have a Acer BT-500 and a MSI MS-6967, and I'd like to update these two.
Thanks!

you should actually ask the vendor of these dongles for updates. However
the ACER is a BlueCore01b and can't be updated with the GenericCSR.dfu
firmware file and for the MSI I don't know. The general rule at the
moment is if "hciconfig hci0 revision" don't show BlueCore02 and lsusb
don't show it as a "Cambridge Silicion Radio". You shouldn't even try to
update it.
Regards
Marcel

Marcel,
My BT-500 shows in lsusb as " ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd.", and
"hciconfig hci0 revision shows it as a BlueCore02 as follows:
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:60:57:32:96:0E ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
HCI 14.7
Chip version: BlueCore02 (ES2)
Max key size: 56 bit
SCO mapping: PCM
Does this mean I can update it? If so, where can I get that GenericCSR.dfu
firmware, and what can I use to update?
As for the MSI, the lsusb output isn't very promising ("ID 0db0:1967"), even
thoguh the output of hciconfig is similar:
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:10:DC:AF:E1:13 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
HCI 16.4
Chip version: BlueCore02
Max key size: 56 bit
SCO mapping: HCI

Well, when I searched for the GenericCSR.dfu, I found Jons guides, and the
model immediately after was tested, the 6970. Too bad the 6967 doesn't work.
I'll at least try to find the old dfu that was included in the MSI drivers,
the one that let me upgrade to 16.4, I think I might still have it somewhere.
