NAME

iwmbtfw — load firmware for Intel Wireless AC Bluetooth USB devices

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The iwmbtfw utility downloads the specified firmware file to the specified ugen(4) device.

This utility will only work with Intel Wireless 7260/8260/9260 and newer chip based Bluetooth USB devices, including AX and BE series wireless adapters. The identification is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair and result of HCI queries. The vendor ID should be 0x8087 (USB_VENDOR_INTEL2) and the product ID should be one of the supported devices.

Firmware files are available in the comms/iwmbt-firmware port.

The iwmbtfw utility will query the device to determine which firmware image and board configuration to load in at runtime.

The options are as follows:

-I

Enable informational debugging.

-D

Enable verbose debugging.

-d device_name

Specify ugen(4) device name.

-f firmware_path

Specify the directory containing the firmware files to search and upload.

-h

Display usage message and exit.

-p

Use only USB vendor ID/product ID pair for device model identification.
