39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42utility downloads the specified firmware file to the specified
43.Xr ugen 4
44device.
45.Pp
46This utility will
47.Em only
48work with Realtek 87XX/88XX chip based Bluetooth USB devices and some of
49their successors.
50The identification is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair and
51interface class.
52For Realtek devices the vendor ID should be 0x0bda
53.Pq Dv USB_VENDOR_REALTEK
54and the 0-th interface class/subclass/protocol should be a Bluetooth RF
55Wireless Controller.
56Non-Realtek devices are identified based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair.
57.Pp
58Firmware files are available in the
59.Pa comms/rtlbt-firmware
60port.
61.Pp
62The
63.Nm
64utility will query the device to determine which firmware image and board
