[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1065400] Re: Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware
What is the license issue? Is there a URL to the actual license? Some way to contact who put the license in place to request a change allowing resolution of this? BTW, I tried the manual download. It finds my device now however will not pair. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065400 Title: Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Saucy: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: Broadcom bluetooth chips require a tool called patchram uploader [1] to load firmware. This applies to at least BCM20702 and BCM43142. Although some of the devices have an OTPROM that contains required firmware, but it is found that these devices would not have HFP/HSP support unless a upgraded firmware is loaded via patchram uploader. This tool requires hci device to do the firmware loading, but this may cause some race condition between patchram tool and bluetoothd or something that also works on hci interface. Also it needs some hooks to make firmware loads after bootup, s3, s4, rfkill, and device hotplug events. Implement this loader in kernel module would make things more easier.
