BrcmPatchRAM: USB [0a5c:21e8 5CF3706267E9 v274] "BCM20702A0" by "Broadcom Corp" BrcmPatchRAM: Retrieved firmware for firmware key "BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1612_v5708". BrcmPatchRAM: Decompressed firmware (29714 bytes --> 70016 bytes). BrcmPatchRAM: device request failed (0xe000404f). BrcmPatchRAM: Failed to reset the device (0xe00002d5). BrcmPatchRAM: Unable to get device status (0xe000404f). BrcmPatchRAM: Firmware upgrade completed successfully. ``` -------------------------------- ### Verify BrcmPatchRAM Installation Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README-Mac.md Check the system log for BrcmPatchRAM output during startup to confirm successful installation and operation. This command filters logs for lines containing 'brcm' or 'brcmf'. ```bash sudo cat /var/log/system.log | grep -i brcm[fp] ``` -------------------------------- ### Extracting Device ID from .inf File Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md This example shows how to locate a specific device's vendor and product ID within a Windows driver's .inf file, which is crucial for identifying the correct firmware. ```dosini %BRCM20702.DeviceDesc%=BlueRAMUSB0223, USB\VID_0930&PID_0233 ; 20702A1 Toshiba 4352 ``` -------------------------------- ### Recommended boot arguments for wake from sleep issues Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md Provides a set of kernel boot arguments that have been reported to resolve typical "wake from sleep" problems with Bluetooth devices. ```bash bpr_probedelay=100 bpr_initialdelay=300 bpr_postresetdelay=300 ``` -------------------------------- ### Compressing Firmware with zlib.pl Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md This command uses the provided zlib.pl script to compress a firmware hex file, reducing its size and preparing it for use with BrcmPatchRAM. ```bash zlib.pl deflate BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457.hex > BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457.zhx ``` -------------------------------- ### Alternative longer delays for wake from sleep issues Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md Offers an alternative set of kernel boot arguments with slightly longer delays, which may also help resolve "wake from sleep" problems. ```bash bpr_probedelay=200 bpr_initialdelay=400 bpr_postresetdelay=400 ``` -------------------------------- ### Identifying Firmware Files in .inf Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md This snippet demonstrates how to find the list of associated firmware files for a specific device within the .inf file, helping to identify the correct firmware hex file to extract. ```dosini ;;;;;;;;;;;;RAMUSB0223;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; [RAMUSB0223.CopyList] bcbtums.sys btwampfl.sys BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457.hex ``` -------------------------------- ### Creating Hex Dump for Plist Editor Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md This command converts the compressed firmware file into a hex dump format, suitable for pasting into a plist editor when configuring firmware keys. ```bash xxd -ps BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457.zhx|tr '\n' ' ' > BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457.dmp ``` -------------------------------- ### System log filtering for BrcmPatchRAM issues Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md Provides commands to filter system logs for BrcmPatchRAM-related messages, useful for troubleshooting firmware update failures. Use the appropriate command based on your macOS version. ```bash # For 10.12 and newer: log show --last boot | grep -i brcm[fp] ``` ```bash # For older macOS versions: cat /var/log/system.log | grep -i brcm[fp] ``` -------------------------------- ### Bypass Bluetooth address check on macOS 12.4+ Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/brcmpatchram/blob/master/README.md Adds a kernel boot argument to circumvent the new address check in `bluetoothd` on macOS 12.4 and newer versions, allowing devices with the same address to function. ```bash -btlfxallowanyaddr ``` === COMPLETE CONTENT === This response contains all available snippets from this library.
