I found this page from the archlinux forums in this topic:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133093&p=1

I wrote up the steps I took to get my card partially working in this
post:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1430884#p1430884

I say partially because I've only been able to stream music to some
bluetooth speakers so  far. My phone pairs, but I'm unable to do
anything with it.

I'm having a weird problem though. Using the tool posted in the
archlinux topic I'm able to inject the firmware that I found in the
windows driver, but things aren't working very well as I mentioned
above, and I just noticed that I've done the same thing as the user in
post #101, namely:

usb-devices
-----------------------------
T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=03 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=01 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0b05 ProdID=17cf Rev=01.12
S:  Manufacturer=Broadcom Corp
S:  Product=BCM20702A0
S:  SerialNumber=54271E328D4F
C:  #Ifs= 4 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=0mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=btusb
I:  If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=btusb
I:  If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
I:  If#= 3 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=fe(app. ) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
-----------------------------

So you can see that my chipset is BCM20702A0, but the only hex file
that's mentioned in the windows driver relating to my prodID of 17cf is:

BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1469.hex

As you can see, BCM20702A1 != BCM20702A0, so I'm wondering if anyone can
provide some advice.

  Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware

Bug description:
  Broadcom bluetooth chips require a tool called patchram uploader [1]
  to load firmware. This applies to at least BCM20702 and BCM43142.
  Although some of the devices have an OTPROM that contains required
  firmware, but it is found that these devices would not have HFP/HSP
  support unless a upgraded firmware is loaded via patchram uploader.

  This tool requires hci device to do the firmware loading, but this may
  cause some race condition between patchram tool and bluetoothd or
  something that also works on hci interface.

  Also it needs some hooks to make firmware loads after bootup, s3,  s4,
  rfkill, and device hotplug events. Implement this loader in kernel
  module would make things more easier.
