Wow! First time seeing this. Anyone using it with a Framework 13? Is there any risk of damaging your system with it?
Both Ubuntu and Fedora ship with it by default, so everyone running those distros is using fwupd.
Fwupd is the way to go, I’m actually checking the device lists that are supported by it to get new laptops going forward
First time seeing this? Man, that’s fwupd.
If you’re wondering what this is:
- Add a power quirk for Framework systems
It’s to do with the fact that Framework laptops report themselves as discharging when they’re actually fully charged, and BIOS updates aren’t allowed when discharging.
But to answer your question, I’ve been using it with my Framework 13 AMD, and haven’t had any issues. Fwupd is officially supported by Framework themselves, and is mentioned on the BIOS upgrade guides.
