UEFI implementation possible? #3

Open Velocet opened 1 month ago

Velocet commented 1 month ago

Is it possible to load this as a driver? Inject via UEFITool?

Hello, I'm not sure what the intention is here. The tool itself only extracts the firmware, and the actual driver in the linux kernel is what uploads the firmware to the controller.

From my understanding it should be possible to load this firmware blob as an UEFI driver which in turn would give you Bluetooth when inside the BIOS configuration menu. I think newer boards have this feature already implemented but my rather old Xeon board doesn't have this functionality cause of the missing driver. I thought maybe you know if this is possible...

I'm not sure if the firmware itself is loadable as a driver, I don't know anything about using it like so. My guess would be that a separate executable for the host is required.
