If it suddenly fails to operate, then it can bring massive changes to the entire system. While using BCM20702a0, there are chances that you may face some glitches with the BCM20702a0 Driver.Ī Driver is a set of digital instructions. If your laptop has no built-in Bluetooth device, you’d need to access the BCM20702a0. BCM20702a0 is a Broadcom Bluetooth driver. Here example how it can looks (note about brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.A Driver is essentially important as it enables hardware devices to communicate with the Operating System. Without WiFi firmwareīluetooth will not initialize and will not work properly.įirmware for WiFi already included to kernel, but you may need to do additional These devices requires two kinds ofįirmware - first for WiFi, and second for Bluetooth. WiFi chipset (this can be BCM43XX 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter or just Some Bluetooth controller (for example, BCM4354 and BCM4356) are integrated to Notes about combined WiFi+Bluetooth devices Here quick naming convertion: Original name There may be incorrect naming between presented firmware name and name You may list all Bluetooth devices like this:īluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 0000īluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 1467īluetooth: hci1: Broadcom Bluetooth DeviceĬongratulations, now your bluetooth device successfully loaded. When you inserting Broadcom Bluetooth device you prefered Linux distribution There are autogenerated DEB and RPM packages for RedHat and Debian based distributions. InstallationĬheck your Linux distribution repositories. As a repository maintainer, I cannot provide security fixes. You will have to use these devices at your own risk. Since Broadcom has stopped active support for its consumer devices, your system may be subject to security risks.
Recently several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Bluetooth stack such as CVE-2018-5383, CVE-2019-9506 (KNOB), CVE-2020-10135 (BIAS) and more. Since February 2017, Broadcom ships their drivers directly to Windows This package intentended to provide firmware of Broadcom WIDCOMM® Bluetoothĭevices (including BCM20702, BCM20703, BCM43142 chipsets and other) for Linux Broadcom Bluetooth firmware for Linux kernel
