You can actually use `fwupdtool install-blob` to update the UEFI if the board supports and uses UEFI capsule update. I did that with my Asus B550-I and it just worked, it reboots to ASUS EZ-Flash and does the update automatically.
All Asus would need to do is publish updates on LVFS.
- dev_hugepages 4y agoHow do you know if the board supports it? Asking because I want to update my firmware for my lenovo legion
- smileybarry 4y agoI would just try it, honestly. Knowing the huge amount of SKUs Lenovo has, it might be a grid of models & “factory BIOS version” that support it.
- mnd999 4y agoAnecdotally, my work Thinkpad just works with fwupdmgr. Lenovo do support this.
- jeroenhd 4y agoI've updated my Thinkpad through the GNOME Software Store at some point, it was listed as a "system update" that automatically used fwupdmgr to install the latest UEFI image. I don't know if the Legion line has the same level of support, but you may just be able to ru "fwupdmgr update" and get prompted to reboot for an UEFI/Intel ME/SSD firmware update.
- yrro 4y agoOoh that's very interesting. I had to reverse engineering the firmware update process for my work laptop[0], I'm guessing the update process there doesn't use capsule updates though...
