+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility downloads the specified firmware file to the specified
+.Xr ugen 4
+device.
+.Pp
+This utility will
+.Em only
+work with Realtek 87XX/88XX chip based Bluetooth USB devices and some of
+their successors.
+The identification is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair and
+interface class.
+For Realtek devices the vendor ID should be 0x0bda
+.Pq Dv USB_VENDOR_REALTEK
+and the 0-th interface class/subclass/protocol should be a Bluetooth RF
+Wireless Controller.
+Non-Realtek devices are identified based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair.
+.Pp
+Firmware files are available in the
+.Pa comms/rtlbt-firmware
+port.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility will query the device to determine which firmware image and board
+configuration to load in at runtime.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl D
+Enable verbose debugging.
+.It Fl d Ar device_name
+Specify
+.Xr ugen 4
+device name.
+.It Fl I
+Enable informational debugging.
+.It Fl f Ar firmware_path
+Specify the directory containing the firmware files to search and upload.
+.It Fl h
