Don't just reboot, is not enough... you need to turn off the computer completelyJeremyB wrote:Lets try another source for the firmwarelinoleum wrote:Still the same. Not detecting devices, 'Bastien's Computer'(!!!???) and the rotating arrow graphic is stalled.
Output of 'echo -e "power on\n scan on\n quit" |bluetoothctl' is:
[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# quitReboot, if it doesn't work, feel free to try to make your own firmware using the askubuntu link provided by skomoCode: Select all
wget https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-216d.hcd sudo cp BCM43142A0-0a5c-216d.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd
I do think that some kernel changes may have broken the firmware upload on some Broadcom bluetooth chipsets as my own Bluetooth dongle refuses to work at all when the firmware file is present but the firmware is only needed to use the HFP/HSP for low quality audio
This is the firmware i extracted and converted from the windows driver.

After a better reading, is illegal to include the firmware in a linux distribution, but clearly not to share it.
O.T. Why if i try to download the file uploaded to "box" with wget, it download a file with a strange name?
