Broadcom CrystalHD Video Decoder, Need Help

Has anyone gotten the Broadcom Crystal HD decoder bcm70012 to install completely?
It’s the only reason this HP Mini 210 with 2GB still has Win 7 and Win 10 on it. If I ever get it working, Windows will be wiped from existence.

Did you try to install libcrystalhd from AUR?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libcrystalhd/

Install:
pamac build libcrystalhd

Load the module:
sudo modprobe crystalhd

Check if the module is loaded:
lsmod

It is unmaintained. There’s a new URL in AUR. The OP will have to build it himself. There’s a readme file in the driver package from broadcom with generic instructions. But of course a proper PKGBUILD should be written.
