Revision as of 11:42, 26 April 2020
Pr-1.3
Closed source package bt-firmware
As name suggest, this is bluetooth firmware. BCM2048 is the name of the Bluetooth chip from Broadcom. Chip is combo chip and it contains bluetooth, and FM-radio receiver (FM-radio transmitter is in another chip: Silicon Labs Si4713 chipset).
Default installed version:
bt-firmware: Installed: 0.21-rc3+0m5
Provides files:
/lib/firmware/bcmfw.bin
No package depends on it.
If removed (not suggested)
*Not critical: device will still start *Can't turn bluetooth ON (as expected). *'About'-box will not show bluetooth address (cat /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr is still showing it). *FM-radio receiving stop working (error message: 'cannot activate chip') (*FM-radio transmitting works as it is not in this chip)
Alternatives:
MeeGo has closed source but redistributable (only for non-commercial usage) package 'bcm-bt-firmware' with description
