Broadcom Bcm2046 Drivers For Mac
Broadcom Bluetooth firmware for Linux kernel Overview This package intentended to provide firmware of Broadcom WIDCOMM® Bluetooth devices (including BCM20702, BCM20703, BCM43142 chipsets and other) for Linux kernel. Since February 2017, Broadcom ships their drivers directly to Windows Update service. Detection and Installation When you inserting Broadcom Bluetooth device you prefered Linux distribution may not load it properly: Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: chip id 63 Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 0000 bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd failed with error -2 Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd not found As you can see, you need brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd firmware. Place required.hcd file to /lib/firmware/brcm. After inserting Broadcom Bluetooth device you will see that firmware successfully loaded: Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: chip id 63 Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 0000 Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 1467 Bluetooth: hci1: Broadcom Bluetooth Device Congratulations, now your bluetooth device successfully loaded. Now go to Bluez for futher configuration. Incorrect names for devices There may be incorrect naming between presented firmware name and name requested from Linux kernel.

For example, system may request BCM4354A2-13d3-3485.hcd but actually this is BCM4356A2-13d3-3485.hcd. This is happens because incorrect naming in Linux kernel. Just rename file to name that need to kernel. Here quick naming convertion: Original name Requested by Linux BCM4356A2 BCM4354A2 Notes about combined WiFi+Bluetooth devices Some Bluetooth controller (for example, BCM4354 and BCM4356) are integrated to WiFi chipset (this can be BCM43XX 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter or just simple generic Broadcom PCIE Wireless). These devices requires two kinds of firmware - first for WiFi, and second for Bluetooth. Without WiFi firmware Bluetooth will not initialize. Firmware for WiFi already included to kernel, but you may need to do additional work to.
Here example how it can looks (note about brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt loading - this is your customized NVRAM): usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac brcmfmac 0000:02:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.bin brcmfmac 0000:02:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: chip id 101 Bluetooth: hci0: N360-11 Bluetooth: hci0: BCM4354A2 (001.003.015) build 0000 bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware brcm/BCM4354A2-13d3-3485.hcd License Firmware files are licensed under.
