Firmware Updater, or fwupd — a project aimed at simplifying and enhancing the reliability of the firmware update process on Linux. By default, code is fetched from the repository LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service).
The project is licensed under LGPLv2.1. Support is provided in the IRC channel #fwupd on LiberaChat and on GitHub.
Minor update 1.9.25 was released by developer Richard Hughes last week, primarily including bug fixes (the firmware size check for Synaptics MST is corrected, device names of zero length are no longer installed, etc.). Support for the following devices has also been added:
- Algoltek devices with sector erase support;
- Dell K2 dock;
- Intel 5787 USB4 hub
- more scaling devices from MediaTek;
- Nordic HID devices with DFUv1 support
