| + | For the USB driver no nvram file is //strictly// needed: in fact, the driver only loads the firmware blob and does not look for an nvram text file. However, the nvram parameters are still required and they are already part of the firmware blob. This is a TRX file which contains the nvram parameters as a sequence of zero-terminated plain text strings, appended at the end of the last section. | ||

| - | ===== Contact Info ===== | + | === NVRAM from EFI === |
| + | Some new devices are storing the nvram which is needed in addition to the firmware by the driver in an EFI variable and the Windows driver can access it (this file should be optional in the case of PCIe devices). Currently brcmfmac does not support this automatically. | ||
| + | First mount the efi vars into sysfs: | ||
| + | mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars | ||
| - | For driver issues and/or bug reports, please use: | + | The content of the nvram is in this file: |
| + | /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 | ||
| - | [[mailto:brcm80211-dev-list@broadcom.com|brcm80211-dev-list@broadcom.com]] | + | Copy this file where brcmfmac expects the nvram, for example: |
| + | cat /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 > /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt | ||

| - | This generation of chips contain additional regulatory support independent of the driver. The devices use a single worldwide regulatory domain, with channels 12-14 (2.4 GHz band) and channels 52-64 and 100-140 (5 GHz band) restricted to passive operation. Transmission on those channels is suppressed until appropriate other traffic is observed on those channels. Within the driver, we use the ficticious country code "X2" to represent this worldwide regulatory domain. There is currently no interface to configure a different domain. The driver reads the SROM country code from the chip and hands it up to mac80211 as the regulatory hint, however this information is otherwise unused with the driver. | + | This generation of chips contain additional regulatory support independent of the driver.
