Redfish is an open industry standard specification and schema that helps enable
simple and secure management of modern scalable platform hardware.
This has only ever been tested using an emulator and not on real hardware.
Requiring colord to be built before fwupd makes it hard to build packages.
The HID-based flashing protocol is stable and documented, so there's no need
to use an external library for this now.
CSR is short for Cambridge Silicon Radio, which is a the OEM that makes most
of the bluetooth audio chips in vendor hardware. The hardware vendor can enable
or disable features on the CSR microcontroller depending on licensing options.
The hardware vendor can also use a custom USB descriptor, or just set a custom
PID. In the latter case we need to set the vendor and model to reality using
quirks.
This commit allows the user to update the firmware in the AIAIAI H05 wireless
headphones.
This was a mistake originally for two reasons:
* The only device to use ELF as a deliverable is the altos devices
* ELF has nothing to do with the DFU specification
This moves the code to where it belongs.
It's not super useful. If this has no bad effects for a couple of releases we
can either remove it completely or move the functionality to the test plugin.
Thunderbolt has a new kernel interface starting from version 4.13,
which simplifies updating the host controller and devices: the
kernel now exposes a sysfs interface for the non-volatile memory
as a device node. This can be used to write the new firmware blob.
Updates are then triggered also via a simple write to a sysfs
file (nvm_authenticate), which in turn is also used for error
reporting.
The plugin should be functionally, but a few items are missing:
- image verification
- safe mode handling
Automake and autoconf are impossible to fully understand and Meson now provides
everything we need for a much smaller, faster, and more understandable build.
