is it possible to use this patch to upload firmware for intel cnvi bluetooth?

[steve3d]

I just got a gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master mainboard, which has a cnvi wifi+bluetooth, and I found that if I boot windows first, then boot into mac, the bluetooth works, has firmware, recognized.

but if I just cold boot into mac directly, then the bluetooth is not recognized.

This CNVI bluetooth still connected with usb, so I wondered if there is any possiblilty of using this to upload the firmware to CNVi bluetooth?

by works I mean I can use bluetooth to pair with other bluetooth device, without any change or kext.

But I have to boot into windows first.

I am also interested in that. I have intel Wireless-AC 3168 and how I currently use it is by booting into windows in virtual machine to load the bluetooth firmware

I've been looking at some linux sources

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc6/source/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c#L1742 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc6/source/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c#L1628

Methods btusb_setup_intel and btusb_setup_intel_patching

Method for writing the firmware on intel bluetooth uses different HCI commands compared to Broadcom

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc6/source/drivers/bluetooth/btbcm.c#L114

So it won't work without modifying the code support intel cards

Anyway I was able to extract firmwares from windows driver I don't know if they are in correct format but there are always ones from linux available

Here are the windows driver firmwares FW Intel BT.zip

This kext is for Broadcom only. Closing.
