Richard Hughes, mlengi wa polojekiti ya PackageKit komanso wothandizira kwambiri ku GNOME, adalengeza kutulutsidwa kwa fwupd 1.8.0, yomwe imapereka ndondomeko yoyendetsera zosintha za firmware ndi ntchito yotchedwa fwupdmgr yoyang'anira firmware, kufufuza zatsopano, ndi kutsitsa firmware. . Khodi ya polojekitiyi imalembedwa mu C ndipo imagawidwa pansi pa layisensi ya LGPLv2.1. Nthawi yomweyo, zidalengezedwa kuti projekiti ya LVFS yafika pachimake cha zosintha za firmware za 50 miliyoni zoperekedwa kwa ogwiritsa ntchito.
Pulojekitiyi imapatsa ma OEMs ndi opanga ma firmware ntchito yoyika firmware kumalo apadera apakati a LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service), omwe angagwiritsidwe ntchito pogawa Linux pogwiritsa ntchito zida za fwupd. Pakadali pano, kalozerayo amapereka firmware yamitundu 829 yazida (zopitilira 4000 firmware) kuchokera kwa opanga 120. Kugwiritsa ntchito chikwatu chapakati kumathetsa kufunikira kwa opanga kupanga ma phukusi kuti agawidwe ndikuwathandiza kusamutsa firmware mu ".cab" archive yokhala ndi metadata yowonjezera, yomwe imagwiritsidwanso ntchito posindikiza firmware ya Windows.
fwupd imathandizira njira zonse zosinthira firmware, popanda kufunikira kwa wogwiritsa ntchito, ndikuchita ntchitoyo pambuyo potsimikizira kapena pempho la wogwiritsa ntchito. Fwupd ndi LVFS amagwiritsidwa ntchito kale ku RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian ndi zina zambiri zogawa zosintha za firmware, ndipo zimathandizidwanso mu GNOME Software ndi KDE Discover. Komabe, fwupd sichimangokhala pamakina apakompyuta ndipo ingagwiritsidwenso ntchito kusinthira firmware pa mafoni a m'manja, mapiritsi, ma seva ndi zida za intaneti za Zinthu.
M'kutulutsa kwatsopano:
- Adawonjezera mawonekedwe atsopano a CPU omwe amathandizidwa ndi HSI (Host Security ID) makina oteteza firmware.
- CoSWID ndi zozindikiritsa za uSWID zawonjezedwa ku libfwupdplugin, ndikupereka chithandizo choyambirira cha SBoM (Firmware Software Bill of Equipment) kuti atsimikizire firmware.
- Zowonjezera zatsopano za HSI za zida zothandizira papulatifomu ya AMD (AMD PSP).
- Wowonjezera fwupd-efi kuzindikira mtundu (org.freedesktop.fwupd-efi).
- Lamulo la 'fwupdmgr install' limapereka mwayi woyika mtundu wina wa firmware.
- Ndizotheka kuyambitsanso woyang'anira BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) mutatha kukhazikitsa firmware.
