* BD buffer 0 is used to send BD firmware to BD drive.

* The BD firmware is sent in chunks of size 0x8000 bytes with SCSI command WRITE BUFFER mode 7.

=Test=
* Tested with my PS3 slim and OtherOS++.
* It should work on PC too. You can update your BD drive on PC but first you need to authenticate it with '''bd_get_version'''.
* Downgrading works too. I tested it myself and downgraded from 3.50 to 3.40 and back again.
* Use '''ps3dm sm get_version''' or '''bd_get_version''' to verify that the new version was installed successfully.
