[12:54] <red98> Today, I solved the problem of broadcom bluetooth hardware(I am able to listen to music by bluetooth connectivity now) by copying a file to /lib/firmware/brcm. I am confused by what actually happened. I read on the internet that firmware is a software that usually ships with the device itself stored in the ROM. So, what actually happened when I
[12:54] <red98> copied the file to a certain location in harddisk?
[23:21] <lubot> [matrix] <arraybolt3> Some devices have "firmware" that isn't really stored in a ROM chip but has to be loaded onto the device when it is powered on.
[23:22] <lubot> [matrix] <arraybolt3> The file you put in /lib/firmware is probably actually the device's firmware, but the OS will load it onto the device when the device is inserted/turned on/whatever.
