Re: what to do with brcm_patchram_plus?

Hi Ian,


# brcm_patchram_plus --patchram /lib/firmware/bcm/bcm43430a1.hcd --no2bytes --tosleep 1000 --bd_addr <my_addr> /dev/ttymxc1


# hciattach /dev/ttymxc1 any


As I understand it, brcm_patchram_plus just loads firmware into the chip, and hciattach is just hooking the hci-uart driver to the serial port as a line discipline?

Is this the correct approach? is there a better way to get the firmware loaded?


Actually, yes, bcm43xx is now "in-kernel" supported (firmware loading, gpio switching, low power mode...). From user-space, you only have to attach your tty with the bcm line discipline.
btattach is the preferred way.
    $ btattach -B /dev/ttyX -P bcm

What is your platform, do you have ACPI or Device-tree support ? any entry corresponding to your bcm controller ?

Regards,
Loic
