NAME
bcmfw — firmware download utility for Broadcom BCM2033 chip based Bluetooth USB devicesSYNOPSIS
bcmfw | [ -h] -f firmware_file_name -m mini-driver_file_name -n device_name |
DESCRIPTION
The bcmfw utility downloads the specified mini-driver and firmware files to the specified device.This utility will only work with Broadcom BCM2033 chip based Bluetooth USB devices. The identification is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair. The vendor ID should be 0x0a5c ( USB_VENDOR_BROADCOM) and the product ID should be 0x2033.
Due to copyright issues I will no longer provide mini-driver and firmware files for the device. These files can be obtained from the Linux BlueZ bluez-firmware package.
Visit http://www.bluez.org/download.html for details.
I am using the following files from the bluez-firmware-1.0 package:
MD5 (BCM2033-MD.hex) = 5580317158d07fc4ace90af04f8e1c73
MD5 (BCM2033-FW.bin) = b4e142b3272cfe5a84b32fda6b4b032f
The options are as follows:
- -f firmware_file_name
- Specify firmware file name for download.
- -h
- Display usage message and exit.
- -m mini-driver_file_name
- Specify mini-driver file name for download.
- -n device_name
- Specify device name.
FILES
