NAME

bcmfw — download firmware for Broadcom BCM2033 Bluetooth USB devices

SYNOPSIS

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.
