h1. Nexus S (I902x) Firmwares Some hardware functionalities require firmwares to be functional. Firmwares are programs that do not run on the main CPU: instead, they run on separate chips. Some firmwares come pre-installed on the chip and some others need to be loaded by the CPU. *Since these firmwares are non-free software, we do not recommend using them nor do we distribute them.* | *Firmware location* | *Related chip* | *Function* | | /system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin /system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin | BCM4329 | Wi-Fi | | /system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin /system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin | BCM4329 | Wi-Fi Host | | /system/vendor/firmware/nvram_net.txt | BCM4329 | Wi-Fi | | /system/vendor/firmware/bcm4329.hcd | BCM4329 | Bluetooth | | /system/lib/libpn544_fw.so *This file contains non-free software that will also be executed by the CPU!* | PN544 | NFC | | /system/vendor/firmware/samsung_mfc_fw.bin | MFC | Hardware video encoding/decoding (disabled in Replicant) |
